34. Ar-Rubayy' bint Mu'āwidh bin 'Afrā' narrated that she saw the Prophet ﷺ performing Wudū'. She said: "He wiped his head, and wiped what is in the front of it and what is in its rear, and his temples and his ears one time." (Hasan) He said: There are narrations on this topic from 'Ali, and Ṭalhah bin Muṣarrif bin 'Amr's grandfather. Abū 'Eisā said: [And] the Hadīth of Ar-Rubay' is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. It has been reported from more than one route that the Prophet ﷺ would wipe his head one time. Most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and those after them act according to this. It is the view of Ja'far bin Muḥammad, Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfī'i, Aḥmad, and Ishāq. They hold the view that the head is wiped once. Muḥammad bin Maṇṣūr Al-Makkī narrated to us, he said: "I heard Sufyān bin 'Uyainah saying; 'I asked Ja'far bin Muḥammad about wiping the head: "Is one time sufficient?" He said, "By Allāh! Of course."

٣٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنِ ‌الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ، «أَنَّهَا رَأَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ، قَالَتْ: مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَمَسَحَ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَمَا أَدْبَرَ» وَصُدْغَيْهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَجَدِّ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ. حَدِيثُ الرُّبَيِّعِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّةً. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ، وَبِهِ يَقُولُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَسُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، وَالشَّافِعِيُّ، وَأَحْمَدُ، وَإِسْحَاقُ، رَأَوْا مَسْحَ الرَّأْسِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً. حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ يَقُولُ: سَأَلْتُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مَسْحِ الرَّأْسِ أَيُجْزِئُ مَرَّةً؟ فَقَالَ: إِي وَاللهِ.
