Sheikh Kolayni narrated from Zarareh who said Imam Baqer (AS) described the way the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) performed his Wudu. Imam (AS) first asked for a dish of water and then wrapped up his sleeves to his elbows. Then he immersed the palm of his right hand into the water and said if the hand is clean then this is the way it must be done. He took a handful of water and poured over his forehead and face saying “in the name of Allah” and rubbing his face with his hand.

Then with his left hand took a handful of water and poured over his right elbow whilst rubbing the water over his arm and to the end of his fingers. He repeated the same procedure for his other hand using the right hand. With the wetness remaining on both hands, first touched the front of his head and then top of right foot with right hand and left foot with the left hand. Answering a question from Zarareh Imam Baqer (AS) said a person asked Imam Ali (AS) the same question about the way prophet (PBUH) performed his Wudu and Imam Ali (AS) answered him exactly the same way as I did.
