As for your washing of the two hands up to the elbows, the two hands are the persons of the two orphans. The right hand is a sign of Al-Miqdad, and the left hand is a sign of Abu Dharr. The right hand is for the face, and the left is for the rest of the body. Al-Miqdad was singled out for the right hand due to his high rank and precedence, and because of what the Master Almighty said about him: "What came out to you from our knowledge is an unbent Alif; if it had bent, you would have bent." Its meaning is: Al-Miqdad did not doubt, and if he had doubted, you would have doubted.
