2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ أَ لاَ أَحْكِي لَكُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَأَخَذَ بِكَفِّهِ الْيُمْنَى كَفّاً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَغَسَلَ بِهِ وَجْهَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى كَفّاً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَغَسَلَ بِهِ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى كَفّاً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَغَسَلَ بِهِ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِفَضْلِ يَدَيْهِ رَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ.

Translation

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Dawud ibn al-Nu‘man from abu Ayyub from Bukayr ibn ’A‘yan who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), once said, ‘Allow me to demonstrate before you how the Messenger of Allah would take Wudu’. He (the Imam) then with some water in the palm of his right hand washed his face. He (the Imam) then with some water in the palm of his left hand washed his right hand. He (the Imam) then with some water in the palm of his right hand washed his left hand. He (the Imam) then with whatever water left in his hands wiped his head and feet.”
