\n Once Imam Abu Jafar -asws (Imam Mohammed Baqir -asws ) asked his companions, Shall I show you how -saww used to Perform Ablutions?\u00a0 Upon their request (which was yes, please), a big bowl containing little water was brought and presented to the Imam -asws . The Imam -asws then folded his -asws sleeves and took a handful of water in his -asws right hand and said: \u2018remember! Only take water like this if your hands are clean (\u2018Tahir\u2019)\u2019.

Then Imam -asws poured it onto his -asws forehead while reciting \u2018Bismillah\u2019 and spread that water around his -asws beard and wiped his -asws hand in the open area between the face and the forehead.\u00a0 Then Imam -asws took water in his -asws left hand and poured water onto his -asws right elbow and wiped it down with his -asws hand so that water dropped out around the fingers of the Imam -asws .

The Imam -asws then took out some water using his right hand and poured onto his left elbow and wiped it with his -asws right hand so that water dropped out around his -asws fingers.\u00a0 This was followed by wiping the front of his -asws head (from top to the end of hair line, up to forehead) with his -asws right hand and then used both hands to wipe the surfaces of both feet using right hand for his -asws right foot and left land for the left foot.
