[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to start washing his hands when he wanted to perform ablution. He would wash them and then pour water with his right hand onto his left and wash his face. When it became clean, he would move his hand towards the wall and wash it. Then he would face the direction of purity and pour water on himself.  

أحمد:٢٥٣٧٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ وَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ بَدَأَ بِكَفَّيْهِ فَيَغْسِلْهُمَا ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ مَرَاقَّهُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَنْقَى أَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَ الطَّهُورَ وَأَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ
