Using a Towel to Wipe one’s Face after Wudu (Washing)
Al-Kāfi|Volume 6|Book 5|Chapter 46
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَمْسَحَ الرَّجُلُ يَدَهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ وَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ تَعْظِيماً لِلطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يَمُصَّهَا أَوْ يَكُونَ عَلَى جَنْبِهِ صَبِيٌّ يَمُصُّهَا .
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from abu al-Mighra’ from Zayd al-Shahham who has said the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah عليه السلام, disliked wiping his hands with a towel because of food stains due to sanctity of food, until he (the Imam) absorbed them or a child next to him (the Imam) did so.’”
