The Description of the Ablution of the Ameer Ul Momineen

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "One day, The Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام was sitting with Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah when He said to him: 'O’ Muhammad, bring me a container of water so I can perform wudu for prayer.' Muhammad brought him the water, and he poured it with his right hand onto his left hand, then said: Bismillāhi wa billāhi wal-ḥamdu lillāhi alladhī ja‘ala al-mā’a ṭahūran wa lam yaj‘alhu najisan 'In the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and all praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى who made water purifying and did not make it impure.' He then performed istinja and said: Allāhumma ḥaṣṣin farjī wa a‘iffahu wa ustur ‘awratī wa ḥarrimnī ‘ala al-nār 'O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, protect my private part and keep it chaste; cover my private areas and forbid me from the Fire.'. Then He rinsed his mouth and said: Allāhumma laqqinnī ḥujjatī yawma alqāk wa aṭliq lisānī bidhikrika wa shukrika 'O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, grant me the ability to present my arguments on the Day I meet You, and loosen my tongue to remember You and to thank You.'. He then sniffed water and said: Allāhumma lā tuḥarrim ‘alayya rīḥa al-jannah wa aj‘alnī mimman yashammu rīḥahā wa rawḥahā wa ṭībahā 'O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, do not make me forbidden from the fragrance of Paradise, and make me among those who can smell its scent and enjoy its sweetness.'. He washed his face and said: Allāhumma bayyiḍ wajhī yawma taswaddu fīhi al-wujūh wa lā tusawwid wajhī yawma tabyaḍḍu fīhi al-wujūh 'O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, make my face white on the Day when faces are darkened, and do not make my face dark on the Day when faces are made luminous.'. He then washed his right hand and said: Allāhumma a‘ṭinī kitābī biyamīnī wa al-khuld fī al-jinān biyasārī wa ḥāsibnī ḥisāban yasīran 'O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, grant me my book in my right hand and grant me eternity in Paradise with my left hand, and hold me accountable with an easy account.' He then washed his left hand and said: Allāhumma lā tu‘ṭinī kitābī biyasārī wa lā taj‘alhā maghlūlatan ilā ‘unuqī wa a‘ūdhu bika rabbī min muqaṭṭa‘āti al-nīrān 'O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, do not grant me my book in my left hand, and do not make it tied around my neck. I seek refuge in You, O’ my Lord عز وجل, from the torments of the Fire.' He then wiped his head and said: Allāhumma ghshshinī biraḥmatika wa barakātika wa ‘afwika 'O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, envelop me in Your mercy, blessings, and forgiveness.' He then wiped his feet and said: Allāhumma thabbitnī ‘ala al-ṣirāṭ yawma tazillu fīhi al-aqdām wa aj‘al sa‘yī fīmā yurḍīka ‘annī yā dhā al-jalāli wa al-ikrām 'O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, keep me steadfast on the Straight Path on the Day when the feet may slip, and make my efforts pleasing to You, O’ Lord عز وجل of Glory and Honor.' He then raised his head and looked at Muhammad and said: 'O’ Muhammad, whoever performs wudu like my wudu and recites like my recitations, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Blessed and Exalted, will create an angel from every drop [of water] that purifies him, and that angel will glorify and praise Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic, will record the reward for him until the Day of Resurrection.'".
