سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرافِقِ فَقُلْتُ هَكَذَا وَ مَسَحْتُ مِنْ ظَهْرِ كَفِّي إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ هَكَذَا تَنْزِيلُهَا إِنَّمَا هِيَ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ مِنَ الْمَرَافِقِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَّ يَدَهُ مِنْ مِرْفَقِهِ إِلَى أَصَابِعِهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, and someone else, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Haysam Bin Urwa Al Tameemi who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:5#h6"><a href="/books/quran:5#h6">[5:6]</a></a> wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbows</span>. I said, ‘Like this?’ – and I wiped the back of my palm up to the elbow’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Not like this. Descend it. But rather, it (the Verse is) <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:5#h6"><a href="/books/quran:5#h6">[5:6]</a></a> wash your faces and your hands from the elbows</span>’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> passed his<sup>asws</sup> hand from his<sup>asws</sup> elbow down to his<sup>asws</sup> fingers’.
