It is narrated from Abu al-Janub that he said: I saw Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) drawing water for his ablution, so I hurried towards him to draw the water for him. He said: "O Abu al-Janub, stop! For I saw Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) drawing water for his ablution, and I hastened forward to draw the water for him, and he said: 'O Abu al-Hasan, wait! For I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) drawing water for his ablution, and I wanted to be first in drawing the water for him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar, wait! For I dislike that anyone should share with me in the act of my purification."'"
Imam Abu Ya'la narrated this hadith in his Musnad; however, its chain contains a narrator named Abu al-Janub Uqbah bin Alqamah al-Yashkuri, whom the hadith scholars declared weak.
