114. Zirr bin Hubaish stated that he heard 'Alī being asked about the Wudu' of the Messenger of Allāh. He mentioned the Hadīth, and he said: "And he wiped his head, until it was about to drip,[1] and he washed his feet three times. He then said, 'This was how the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ performed Wudū.''" (Hasan)
114 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَبِيعَةُ الْكِنَانِيُّ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، وَسُئِلَ عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَقَالَ: «وَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى لَمَّا يَقْطُرْ، وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَكَذَا كَانَ وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

This Hadīth indicates that he took fresh water into his hands, to wipe his head, wetting them well, but not so much as to let water flow off his head. Taking more water upon the hands to wipe the head is allowed accordingly, but it is not required.
