3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), once said, ‘When one of you wants to mb oil over his body, he does so only with some oil in the palm of his hand and covers his whole body. Water, however, is more plentiful. Do you want me to demonstrate how the Messenger of Allah would take Wudu’?’ I said, ‘Please do so.’ He (the Imam) then placed his hand in the water but did not wash his hand. He (the Imam) then with some water in the palm of his hand, allowed it to flow down his face and then wiped both sides of his face until he wiped it all. He (the Imam) then with some water in the palm of his right hand, poured it on the palm of his left hand and with it he washed his right forearm. He (the Imam) with some water in the palm of his right hand, washed his left forearm. He (the Imam) then with whatever water was left on his hands, wiped his head and feet.”
3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
يَأْخُذُ أَحَدُكُمُ الرَّاحَةَ مِنَ الدُّهْنِ فَيَمْلأُ بِهَا جَسَدَهُ وَ الْمَاءُ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَ لاَ أَحْكِي لَكُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْ يَدَهُ فَأَخَذَ كَفّاً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَصَبَّهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ جَانِبَيْهِ حَتَّى مَسَحَهُ كُلَّهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ كَفّاً آخَرَ بِيَمِينِهِ فَصَبَّهُ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ بِهِ ذِرَاعَهُ الأيْمَنَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ كَفّاً آخَرَ فَغَسَلَ بِهِ ذِرَاعَهُ الأيْسَرَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ بِمَا بَقِيَ فِي يَدِهِ.
