Chapter on the Description of Ablution (Wudu)

The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Ahmad bin Muhammad, from his father, from Al-Husayn bin Al-Hasan bin Aban, and from Muhammad bin Yahya, from Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn bin Sa‘id, from Safwan and Fadalah bin Ayyub, from Fudayl bin ‘Uthman, from Abu ‘Ubaydah Al-Hadhdha’, who said: (Narrator said) "I assisted Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام with his ablution at Jam‘ (Muzdalifah). He عليه السلام had urinated, so I handed him water, and He عليه السلام performed istinja (cleansing). Then I poured a handful of water for him عليه السلام, and He عليه السلام washed his face. He عليه السلام used another handful to wash his right forearm and another handful to wash his left forearm. Then He عليه السلام wiped his head and feet with the remaining moisture."
