Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الطُّوسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا - رضى الله عنه - تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏

Translation

Ziyad ibn Ayyub al-Tusi narrated to us; ‘Ubayd Allah ibn Musa narrated to us; Fitr narrated to us, from Abu Farwah, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, who said: ‘I saw ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, perform ablution. He washed his face three times, washed his forearms three times, and wiped his head once. Then he said: “This is how the Messenger of Allah performed ablution.”’
