[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to begin by washing his hands when he performed ghusl (ritual bath) from janabah (major ritual impurity), then he would pour water with his right hand onto his left hand and wash his private parts. Then he would perform wudu (ritual ablution) for prayer, and then he would take water and insert his fingers into the roots of his hair until he felt that he had completely cleaned himself. He would then pour three handfuls of water over his head and then pour water over the rest of his body. Finally, he would wash his feet. This narration is strange and authentic.

When Messenger of Allah ﷺ bathed because of sexual intercourse, he first washed his hands: he then poured water with his right hand on his left hand and washed his private parts. He then performed ablution as is done for prayer'. He then took some water and put his fingers and moved them through the roots of his hair. And when he found that these had been properly mois- tened, then poured three handfuls on his head and then poured water over his body and subsequently washed his feet.

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Ghusl from Janabah, he would start by washing his hands, then he would pour water with his right hand onto his left and wash his private part, then he would strike his hand on the ground then wipe it then wash it. Then he would perform Wudu' as for prayer, then he would pour water on his head and all of his body. Then he would move and wash his feet." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 419)
