The Description of the Ablution of the Ameer Ul Momineen

وَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ قَالَ - « بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ خَيْرُ اَلْأَسْمَاءِ لِلَّهِ وَ أَكْبَرُ اَلْأَسْمَاءِ لِلَّهِ وَ قَاهِرٌ لِمَنْ فِي اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ قَاهِرٌ لِمَنْ فِي اَلْأَرْضِ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي جَعَلَ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ وَ أَحْيَا قَلْبِي بِالْإِيمَانِ اَللَّهُمَّ تُبْ عَلَيَّ وَ طَهِّرْنِي ' وَ اِقْضِ لِي بِالْحُسْنَى وَ أَرِنِي كُلَّ اَلَّذِي أُحِبُّ وَ اِفْتَحْ لِي بِالْخَيْرَاتِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ يَا سَمِيعَ اَلدُّعَاءِ.
It is narrated that Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام, when performing wudu, would say: Bismillahi wa billahi wa khayru al-asma’i lillah, wa akbaru al-asma’i lillah, wa qahirun liman fi as-sama’, wa qahirun liman fi al-ard. Alhamdulillahi alladhi ja‘ala mina al-ma’i kulla shay’in hayyin wa ahya qalbi bil-iman. Allahumma tub ‘alayya wa tahhirni, wa iqdi li bil-husna, wa arini kulla alladhi uhibbu wa iftah li bil-khayrati min ‘indika ya Sami‘ ad-du‘a’ "In the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and the best names for Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the greatest names for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who is the Dominant over those in the heavens and the Dominant over those on the earth. All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who has made from water every living thing and has revived my heart with faith. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, accept my repentance and purify me. Grant me goodness and show me all I love, and open for me the avenues of good from You, O’ Hearer of Supplication."
