Malik bin Ghurfatah says: I heard Abd Khair say: I saw a chair was brought to Ali who sat on it. A vessel of water was then brought to him. He washed his hands three times ; he then rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water with one handful of water. He narrated the tradition completely.

Zirr bin Hubaish said that the heard that Ali was asked how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ablution. He then narrated the tradition and said: he wiped his head so much so that drops (of water) were about to trickle down. He then washed his feet three times and said: This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablutions.

Amr bin Yahya al-Mazini reports on the authority of his father who asked Abdullah bin Zaid, the grandfather of Amr bin Yahya al-Mazini: Can you show me how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution? Abdullah bin Zaid replied: Yes. He called for ablution water, poured it over his hands, and washed them; then he rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water in the nose three times; then he washed his face three times and washed his forearms up to elbow twice; then he wiped his head with both hands, moving them front and back of the head, beginning from his forehead, and moved them to the nape; then he pulled them back to the place from where he had started (wiping); then he washed his feet.
