My teacher, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Abu al-Qasim Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from a group of our companions, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Abu Dawud together, from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Fadala ibn Ayyub, from al-Husayn ibn Uthman, from Sama'ah, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "If you forget and wash your forearms before your face, then repeat washing your face and then wash your forearms after your face. If you begin by washing your left forearm before your right, then repeat washing the right forearm first and then wash the left. If you forget to wipe your head until you have washed your feet, then wipe your head and then wash your feet."
