قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ اَلْبَاقِرُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَ لاَ أَحْكِي لَكُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ » فَقِيلَ لَهُ بَلَى فَدَعَا بِقَعْبٍ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ حَسَرَ عَنْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثُمَّ غَمَسَ فِيهِ كَفَّهُ اَلْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَذَا إِذَا كَانَتِ اَلْكَفُّ طَاهِرَةً» ثُمَّ غَرَفَ مِلْأَهَا مَاءً ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ وَقَالَ « بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ » وَ سَيَّلَهُ عَلَى أَطْرَافِ لِحْيَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَّ يَدَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَ ظَاهِرِ جَبِينَيْهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ غَمَسَ يَدَهُ اَلْيُسْرَى فَغَرَفَ بِهَا مِلْأَهَا ثُمَّ وَضَعَهُ عَلَى مِرْفَقِهِ اَلْيُمْنَى فَأَمَرَّ كَفَّهُ عَلَى سَاعِدِهِ حَتَّى جَرَى اَلْمَاءُ عَلَى أَطْرَافِ أَصَابِعِهِ ثُمَّ غَرَفَ بِيَمِينِهِ مِلْأَهَا فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى مِرْفَقِهِ اَلْأَيْسَرِ فَأَمَرَّ كَفَّهُ عَلَى سَاعِدِهِ حَتَّى جَرَى اَلْمَاءُ عَلَى أَطْرَافِ أَصَابِعِهِ وَ مَسَحَ عَلَى مُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ وَ ظَهْرِ قَدَمَيْهِ بِبِلَّةِ بَقِيَّةِ مَائِهِ.
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) said: "Shall I not describe the ablution of the Messenger of Allah (saws) to you?" They replied: "Yes." He then called for a bowl containing some water and placed it in front of him. He rolled up his sleeves, dipped his right hand into the water, and said: "This is if the hand is pure." He then scooped a full handful of water, placed it on his forehead, "In the name of Allah (swt)," allowing the water to flow over the edges of his beard. Then he passed his hand over his face and the front of his temples once. He dipped his left hand into the water, scooped a full handful, and placed it on his right elbow, running his hand along his forearm until the water flowed over the tips of his fingers. He then scooped with his right hand again and placed it on his left elbow, running his hand along his forearm until the water flowed over the tips of his fingers. He then wiped the front of his head and the tops of his feet with the leftover moisture from the water.
