Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Khalid ibn Makhlad narrated to us, saying: Sulayman narrated to us, saying: 'Amr ibn Yahya narrated to me from his father, saying:
My uncle used to perform wudu frequently. He said to 'Abdullah ibn Zayd: "Tell me how you saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing wudu?" So he called for a vessel of water, poured it over his hands, and washed them three times. Then he put his hand in the vessel, took a mouthful, and rinsed his mouth and sniffed water into his nose three times from a single handful. Then he put his hand in and took a handful, and washed his face three times. Then he washed his hands to the elbows, twice, twice. Then he took water in his hand and wiped his head, moving it from back to front and from front to back. Then he washed his feet. He said: "This is how I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing wudu." كان عمي يكثر من الوضوء قال لعبد الله بن زيد : أخبرني كيف رأيت النبي صلّى الله عليه وسلم يتوضأ ؟، فدعا بتور من ماء فكفى على يديه فغسلهما ثلاث مرار ثم أدخل يده في التور فمضمض واستنثر ثلاث مرات من غرفة واحدة ، ثم أدخل يده فاغترف بها فغسل وجهه ثلاث مرات ثم غسل يديه إلى المرفقين مرتين مرتين ، ثم أخذ بيده ماء فمسح رأسه فأدبر به وأقبل ، ثم غسل رجليه فقال : هكذا رأيت النبي صلّى الله عليه وسلم يتوضأ
.

The Shaykh : Look at the word:
So he moved it from back to front and from front to back فأدبر به وأقبل
contradicts the well-known version. Did you discuss it in the commentary? No, the correct version is:
He moved it from front to back and from back to front أقبل بهما وأدبر
This is the correct one.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : How is it with you?
So he moved it from back to front فأدبر به
So he wiped his head, moving it from back to front and from front to back فمسح رأسه فأدبر به وأقبل
.
The student: ... In his version:
So he wiped his head with it, moving it from back to front and from front to back فمسح به رأسه فأدبر به وأقبل
meaning he wiped with it using water.

The Shaykh : Do you have "and he wiped with it"? No, we have:
So he wiped his head, moving it from back to front and from front to back فمسح رأسه فأدبر به وأقبل
, in any case, the correct view is that the head starts from the front to the back, then returns.
The student: Yes, this is ...

The Shaykh : No, it is not clear.
The student: He says "so he moved it from back to front" ...

The Shaykh : If we want to interpret this as meaning washing, there is no harm, yes.
The student: So he moved it with the water.

The Shaykh : Do you have "with the water"?
The student: No, meaning "so he wiped his head with it," so he took water and wiped with it, meaning with the water.

The Shaykh :
So he moved it with the water فأدبر به
Is that how it is in your copy?
The student: Yes,
So he wiped his head with it, moving it with the water فمسح به رأسه فأدبر بالماء
.

The Shaykh : Yes, this is clearer: "he moved it with the water."
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes.
