The Shaykh said: Rather, Abu Amr bin al-Ala narrated it from Iyas bin Ja'far, that a man narrated to him that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a cloth or a towel, and when he performed ablution he wiped his face and hands with it.
Iyas bin Ja'far has narrated it (through Abd al-Warith from Abu Amr bin al-Ala as well).
This is the preserved (mahfuz) version of the hadith of Abd al-Warith.
