[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to us frequently, so he came to us and we prepared the water container (meezad) for him. He performed ablution (wudu), washing his hands three times, rinsing his mouth and nose three times, washing his face three times, washing his arms three times, wiping his head with whatever remained of the water on his hands, doing it twice; he started from the back of his head and then returned his hand to the front. He then washed his feet three times and wiped the front and back of his ears.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِينَا فَيُكْثِرُ فَأَتَانَا فَوَضَعْنَا لَهُ الْمِيضَأَةَ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ فِي يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ بَدَأَ بِمُؤَخَّرِهِ ثُمَّ رَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى نَاصِيَتِهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ أُذُنَيْهِ مُقَدَّمَهُمَا وَمُؤَخَّرَهُمَا

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to us. He once said: Pour ablution water on me. She then described how the Prophet ﷺ performed ablution saying: He washed his hands up to wrist three times and washed his face three times, and rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water once. Then he washed his forearms three times and wiped his head twice beginning from the back of his head, then wiped its front. He wiped his ears outside and inside. Then he washed his feet three times. Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by Musaddad carries the same meaning.
