The narrator named Abdu Khayr reported about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "He washed both his hands first while performing ablution, then rinsed his mouth three times and put water into his nose, then washed his face three times, washed both his arms three times, then wiped his head three times, and then washed both his feet three times. Then he said: 'Whoever wishes to see the way the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution, let him look at this method.'" The narrator named Shu'ayb reported these words: (Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing ablution in this manner." The narrator named Abu Hanifah reported this narration from the narrator named Khalid, in which these words are mentioned: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) wiped his head three times, while a group of hadith scholars have also transmitted this narration through other chains, and in those, wiping the head once is mentioned. Among these other hadith scholars, only the narrator named Hajjaj made a mistake at one place, mentioning the narrator named Amr Dhamar instead of the narrator named Abdu Khayr. To our knowledge, apart from Imam Abu Hanifah, no other narrator has mentioned wiping the head three times. Imam Abu Hanifah has reported something different from other narrators in his narration, while on the other hand, his own opinion regarding the ruling of wiping is also different from this narration, which he has transmitted from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because Imam Abu Hanifah also states: "Wiping the head once in ablution is Sunnah." This has been transmitted by Ibrahim bin Abu Yahya and Qadi Abu Yusuf with their chain from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
