مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اِبْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ وَ زُرَارَةَ اِبْنَيْ أَعْيَنَ: أَنَّهُمَا سَأَلاَ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ فَدَعَا بِطَسْتٍ أَوْ بِتَوْرٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ غَمَسَ كَفَّهُ اَلْيُمْنَى فِي اَلتَّوْرِ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ بِهَا وَ اِسْتَعَانَ بِيَدِهِ اَلْيُسْرَى بِكَفِّهِ عَلَى غَسْلِ وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ غَمَسَ كَفَّهُ اَلْيُمْنَى فِي اَلْمَاءِ فَاغْتَرَفَ بِهَا مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ فَغَسَلَ يَدَهُ اَلْيُمْنَى مِنَ اَلْمِرْفَقِ إِلَى اَلْأَصَابِعِ لاَ يَرُدُّ اَلْمَاءَ إِلَى اَلْمِرْفَقَيْنِ ثُمَّ غَمَسَ كَفَّهُ اَلْيُمْنَى فِي اَلْمَاءِ فَاغْتَرَفَ بِهَا مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ فَأَفْرَغَهُ عَلَى يَدِهِ اَلْيُسْرَى مِنَ اَلْمِرْفَقِ إِلَى اَلْكَفِّ لاَ يَرُدُّ اَلْمَاءَ إِلَى اَلْمِرْفَقِ كَمَا صَنَعَ بِالْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَ قَدَمَيْهِ إِلَى اَلْكَعْبَيْنِ بِفَضْلِ كَفَّيْهِ وَ لَمْ يُجَدِّدْ مَاءً.

Translation

father, from Sa‘d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammad, from ‘Uthman bin ‘Isa, from Ibn Udhaynah, from Bukayr and Zurarah, the sons of A‘yan, who said: They (Bukayr and Zurarah) both asked Abu Ja‘far (a.s) about the ablution of the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). Imam (a.s) called for a basin or a bowl containing water. He (a.s) washed his hands, then dipped his right hand into the bowl, and washed his face with it, assisting with his left hand in washing his face. Then He (a.s) dipped his right hand into the water, scooped some water with it, and washed his right hand from the elbow to the fingertips, not returning the water to the elbows. Afterward, He (a.s) dipped his right hand into the water, scooped some water with it, and poured it over his left hand, washing it from the elbow to the fingers without returning the water to the elbow, just as he did with the right hand. Finally, He (a.s) wiped his head and feet up to the ankles with the remainder of the water in his hands, without taking fresh water.
