وَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ لَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَداً يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ اَلْمَاءَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِمَ لاَ تَدَعُهُمْ يَصُبُّونَ عَلَيْكَ اَلْمَاءَ فَقَالَ «لاَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ فِي صَلاَتِي أَحَداً وَقَالَ اَللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى: « فَمَنْ كٰانَ يَرْجُوا لِقٰاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلاً صٰالِحاً وَ لاٰ يُشْرِكْ بِعِبٰادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَداً.
It was noted that The Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام would not allow anyone to pour water on him while performing wudu. When he was asked: "O’ Commander of the Faithful, why do you not let them pour water on you?" Imam عليه السلام said: "I do not like to share my prayer with anyone”. He also recited the verse of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Blessed and Exalted: "And whoever expects to meet his Lord عز وجل, let him do righteous work and not associate anyone in the worship of his Lord عز وجل." (Surah Al Kahf 18:110).
