Chapter on the Description of Ablution (Wudu)

مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَالِمٍ وَ غَالِبِ بْنِ هُذَيْلٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَسْحِ عَلَى اَلرِّجْلَيْنِ فَقَالَ« هُوَ اَلَّذِي نَزَلَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me, saying: Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Al-Hasan informed me from his father, from Al-Husayn bin Al-Hasan bin Aban, and Muhammad bin Yahya from Ahmad bin Muhammad, all from Al-Husayn bin Sa‘id, from Fadalah, from Hammad bin ‘Uthman, from Salim and Ghalib bin Hudhayl, who said: I asked Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام about wiping over the feet. Imam عليه السلام said: 'It is what Jibra’il عليه السلام brought down (as revelation).'"
