Musnad Ahmad

Abdu Khair, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once we performed the Fajr prayer and went to sit with Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him. He asked for water for ablution, so a bucket of water and a basin were brought. Then he poured water from the bucket onto his right hand and washed his palm three times. Then he put his right hand into the vessel, took out water, rinsed his mouth, and put water into his nose three times each. Then he washed his face three times, washed both arms three times each, then put his right hand in, took out water, and wiped his head once with both hands. Then he washed both feet three times each and said: "This is the ablution of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, understand it well."
