Using a Towel to Wipe one’s Face after Wudu (Washing)
Al-Kāfi|Volume 6|Book 5|Chapter 46
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ لَمْ يَمَسَّ الْمِنْدِيلَ وَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ بَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ مَسَّ الْمِنْدِيلَ .
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Um ay r from Murazim who has said the following: “I saw abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, when making wudu (washing his hands) before food did not wipe his hands with a towel, but he wiped them when he (the Imam) made wudu after food.’”
