Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَزْهَرِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ لَهُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَّهُ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِغَرْفَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ حَتَّى يَقْطُرَ الْمَاءُ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ أَوْ كَادَ يَقْطُرُ وَأَنَّهُ أَرَاهُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَسْحَ رَأْسِهِ وَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى مُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِمَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْقَفَا ثُمَّ رَدَّهُمَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي بَدَأَ مِنْهُ.
English Translation
'Ali ibn Bahr narrated to us: al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us, saying: 'Abdullah ibn al-'Ala' narrated to us from Abu al-Azhar from Mu'awiya: that he described to them the ablution of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and that he wiped his head with a handful of water until the water dripped, or nearly dripped, from his head, and that he showed them the ablution of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: when he reached the wiping of his head, he placed his palms upon the front of his head, then passed them back until they reached the nape of the neck, then returned them until they reached the place from which he had begun.
