Muhammad b. al-Hasan b. Ahmad b. al-Walid narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. al-Hasan al-Saffar narrated to us from `Ali b. Hassan al-Wasiti from his uncle `Abd al-Rahman b. Kathir al-Hashimi the servant of Muhammad b. `Ali from Abi `Abdillah al-Sadiq . He said:

One day, Amir al-Mu’minin was sitting with Ibn Hanafiyya when he said: O Muhammad! Bring me a vessel of water so that I may perform ablution for prayer. So, Muhammad brought him water. Then, he placed his right hand on his left hand and said: In the name of Allah. Praise be to Allah who made water pure and did not make it impure (bismillah walhamdu lillahil lathi ja`alal ma’a tahuran wa lam yaj`alhu najisa). He said: Then, he washed his private and said: O Allah! Protect my private and purify it, cover my private, and forbid me from the Fire (Allahumma hassin farji wa a`ifahu wastur `awrati wa harrimni `alal nar). He said: Then, he rinsed his mouth and said: O Allah! Make me meet my proof on the day I meet You, and make my tongue speak in Your remembrance (Allahumma laqini hujati yawma alqaka wa atliq lisani bi dhikrika). Then, he rinsed his nose and said: O Allah! Do not forbid me from the fragrance of Paradise, and make me of those who smell its fragrance, its rest, and its sweetness (Allahumma la tuharrim `alayya reehal jannati waj`alni mimman yashammu reehaha wa rawhaha wa teebaha). He said: Then, he washed his face and said: O Allah! Illuminate my face on the Day that the faces are darkened, and do not darken my face on the Day that the faces are illuminated (Allahumma bayyidh wajhi yawma taswad fihil wujuh wa la tusawwid wajhi yawm tabyadh fihil wujuh). Then, he washed his right hand and said: O Allah! Give me my Book with my right hand, and immortality in Paradise with my left hand. Judge me with an easy judgment (Allahumma a`tini kitabi biyamini wal khulda fil jinani biyasari wa hasibni hisaban yasira). Then, he washed his left hand and said: O Allah! Do not give me my book by my left hand, and do not bind it to my neck. I seek refuge in You from Hellfire (Allahumma la tu`tani kitabi bishimali wa la taj`alha maghlulatan ila `unuqi wa a`uthu bika min muqta`at al-niran). Then, he wiped his head and said: O Allah! Cover me in Your mercy, Your blessings, and Your forgiveness (Allahumma ghashini bi rahmatika wa barakatika wa `afwik). Then, he wiped his feet and said: O Allah! Make my feet steadfast upon the Path on the Day that the feet slip off of it and direct my pursuit toward that which pleases You (Allahumma thabbit qadamay `alal sirat yawma tanzilu fihil aqdam, waj`al sa`yi fima yurdeeka `anni). Then, he raised his head, looked to Muhammad and said: O Muhammad! Whoever makes ablution like me and says what I have said, Allah will create an angel for every drop which will sanctify Him, glorify Him, and praise Him; and He will record those as deeds for him on the Day of Resurrection.
