He then washed his feet three times and said: This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablutions.

Malik bin Ghurfatah says: I heard Abd Khair say: I saw a chair was brought to Ali who sat on it. A vessel of water was then brought to him. He washed his hands three times ; he then rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water with one handful of water. He narrated the tradition completely.

Abdullah bin Zaid bin Asim reported this tradition saying: He rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water from one hand, doing that three times.
