I placed water for the bath of the Prophet. He washed his hands twice or thrice and then poured water on his left hand and washed his private parts. He rubbed his hands over the earth (and cleaned them), rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and blowing it out, washed his face and both forearms and then poured water over his body. Then he withdrew from that place and washed his feet.

مَيْمُونَةُ وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَاءً لِلْغُسْلِ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ مَذَاكِيرَهُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ بِالأَرْضِ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ

I placed water for the bath of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he poured water over his hands and washed them twice or thrice; then he poured water with his right hand over his left and washed his private parts (with his left hand). He rubbed his hand over the earth and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and blowing it out. After that he washed his face, both fore arms and head thrice and then poured water over his body. He withdrew from that place and washed his feet.

مَيْمُونَةُ وَضَعْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَاءً يَغْتَسِلُ بِهِ فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ مَذَاكِيرَهُ ثُمَّ دَلَكَ يَدَهُ بِالأَرْضِ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى مِنْ مَقَامِهِ فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ

Water was placed for the ablution of Messenger of Allah ﷺ after Janaba. He poured water with his right hand over his left twice or thrice and then washed his private parts and rubbed his hand on the earth or on a wall twice or thrice and then rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out and then washed his face and forearms and poured water over his head and washed his body. Then he shifted from that place and washed his feet. I brought a piece of cloth, but he did not take it and removed the traces of water from his body with his hand."

وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَضُوءًا لِجَنَابَةٍ فَأَكْفَأَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ يَدَهُ بِالأَرْضِ أَوِ الْحَائِطِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ جَسَدَهُ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ قَالَتْ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِخِرْقَةٍ فَلَمْ يُرِدْهَا فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ بِيَدِهِ

I screened the Prophet ﷺ while he was taking a bath of Janaba. He washed his hands, poured water from his right hand over his left and washed his private parts. Then he rubbed his hand over a wall or the earth, and performed ablution similar to that for the prayer but did not wash his feet. Then he poured water over his body, shifted from that place, and washed his feet.

سَتَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَبَّ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ وَمَا أَصَابَهُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الْحَائِطِ أَوِ الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ غَيْرَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ

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.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ يَبْدَأُ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُفْرِغُ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ الْمَاءَ فَيُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي أُصُولِ الشَّعْرِ حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَى أَنْ قَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ حَفَنَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ حَفَنَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ

"I prepared some water for the Prophet to perform Ghusl for Janabah with. So he turned the vessel with his left hand, (pouring some water) over his right. Then he washed his hands. Then he entered his hand into the vessel to pour water over his private area, then he rubbed his hands on the wall, or the ground. Then he rinsed out his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in and blowing it out, and washed his face and forearms. Then he poured water over his head three times, then he poured water over the remainder of his body, then he moved from where he was and washed his feet."

وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ غُسْلاً فَاغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَأَكْفَأَ الإِنَاءَ بِشِمَالِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ فَأَفَاضَ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ ثُمَّ دَلَكَ بِيَدِهِ الْحَائِطَ أَوِ الأَرْضَ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ

"I asked 'Aishah about how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Ghusl from Janabah. She said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pour water onto his hands three times, then he would wash his private part, then he would wash his hands, then rinse his mouth and nose, then pour water onto his head three times, then pour water over the rest of his body.'"

عَنْ غُسْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُفْرِغُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُمَضْمِضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ ثُمَّ يُفْرِغُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ

"A vessel would be brought to the prophet ﷺ then he would pour water on his hand three times and wash them, then he would pour water with his right hand onto his left and wash off whatever was on his thighs. Then he would wash his hands, rinse his mouth and nose, pour water on his head three times, then pour water over the rest of his body."

أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ غُسْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُؤْتَى بِالإِنَاءِ فَيَصُبُّ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا فَيَغْسِلُهُمَا ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ مَا عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ وَيَتَمَضْمَضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ وَيَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ

وَصَفَتْ عَائِشَةُ غُسْلَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ وَمَا أَصَابَهُ قَالَ عُمَرُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ قَالَ يُفِيضُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ يَتَمَضْمَضُ ثَلاَثًا وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ ثَلاَثًا وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ

"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."

عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ يَبْدَأُ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُفْرِغُ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ يَضْرِبُ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُهَا ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُهَا ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ يُفْرِغُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَعَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ يَتَنَحَّى فَيَغْسِلُ رِجْلَيْهِ

"When the Messenger of Allah ( ﷺ0 performed Ghusl from Janabah, he would wash his hands, then perform Wudu' as for prayer, then run his fingers through his hair until he was sure the water had reached the scalp, then he would pour water over his head three times, then wash the rest of his body."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ يُخَلِّلُ رَأْسَهُ بِأَصَابِعِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا خُيِّلَ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْبَشَرَةَ غَرَفَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ

"I put out some water for the Prophet to take a bath, and he bathe to cleanse himself from impurity following sexual activity. He tilted the vessel with his left hand, pouring water into his right, and washed his hands three times. Then he pourd water over his private parts, then he rubbed his hands on the ground. Then he rinsed his mouth and nose, and washed his face three times, and his forearms three times. Then he poured water over the rest of his body, then he moved aside and washed his feet."

وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ غُسْلاً فَاغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَأَكْفَأَ الإِنَاءَ بِشِمَالِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ ثُمَّ دَلَكَ يَدَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ الْمَاءَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ

[AI] Regarding the ritual purification of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from janabah (major ritual impurity), it was narrated that he used to command for a vessel to be brought and then he would pour water with his right hand onto his left hand, and then wash his private parts and anything that was affected by impurity. Then, he would perform ablution (wudu) for prayer, and then wash his head and the rest of his body, and then he would turn and wash his feet. Afterwards, he would be given a cloth and he would place it between his hands and then he would shake his fingers, making sure not to touch the cloth with his hands.

عَنْ غُسْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ «يُؤْتَى بِالْإِنَاءِ فَيُفْرِغُ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ وَمَا أَصَابَهُ ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ وَسَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ فَيَغْسِلُ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِالْمِنْدِيلِ فَيَضَعُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيَنْفُضُ أَصَابِعَهُ وَلَا يَمَسُّهُ»

[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to perform ghusl (ritual purification) from major impurity, he would wash his hands three times, then take water with his right hand to pour it on his left hand and wash his private parts until he cleanses them. Then he would wash his hands again properly, then rinse his mouth three times and sniff water into his nose three times, then he would wash his face three times and his arms three times. Then he would pour water on his head three times, and then he would perform ghusl. When he finished, he would wash his feet.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِيَمِينِهِ لِيَصُبَّ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ حَتَّى يُنَقِّيَهُ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ غَسْلًا حَسَنًا ثُمَّ يُمَضْمِضُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ الْمَاءَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ غَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ

[AI] The prophet ﷺ used to perform ablution when he wanted to perform a ritual bath from major impurity. His ablution was for prayer. Then he would put his hand into a container and search through the roots of his hair. When he thought that he had thoroughly reached all of the skin, he would pour water on his head three times. After that, he would perform the ritual bath. Uruwah said, except that he used to start with washing his hands, then his private parts.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَوَضَّأُ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَيَتَتَبَّعُ أُصُولَ شَعَرِهِ فَإِذَا ظَنَّ أَنْ قَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْبَشَرَةَ كُلَّهَا أَفْرَغَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ وقَالَ عُرْوَةُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَبْدَأُ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ فَرْجَهُ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ used to avoid urinating in standing water. A vessel containing water would be brought to him, and he would pour it onto his hands, washing them before putting them in the water. Then he would put his right hand inside the vessel and pour water from it onto his left hand, washing his private parts. After that, he would rinse his mouth and nostrils three times, wash his face and arms, and then scoop up three handfuls of water and pour them over his head. Finally, he would pour water all over his body.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَجْنُبُ فَيُوضَعُ لَهُ الْإِنَاءُ فِيهِ الْمَاءُ فَيُفْرِغُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَيَغْسِلْهُمَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُمَا فِي الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَيُفْرِغُ بِهَا عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ يُمَضْمِضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَغْرِفُ ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ فَيَصُبُّهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ

Then he poured water over his head three times, then he poured water over the remainder of his body, then he moved from where he was and washed his feet." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 103)

وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ غِسْلًا فَاغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وَأَكْفَأَ الْإِنَاءَ بِشِمَالِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَأَفَاضَ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ ثُمَّ دَلَكَ يَدَهُ بِالْحَائِطِ أَوِ بِالْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father from A'isha, umm al-muminin, that whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did ghusl for major ritual impurity, he would begin by washing his hands, and then do wudu as for prayer. He would then put his fingers in the water and rub the roots of his hair with them. Then he would pour as much water as two hands can hold on to his head three times, and over the entire surface of his skin.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ بَدَأَ بِغَسْلِ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيُخَلِّلُ بِهَا أُصُولَ شَعْرِهِ ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ غَرَفَاتٍ بِيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ الْمَاءَ عَلَى جِلْدِهِ كُلِّهِ

"Aishah described how the Prophet ﷺ performed Ghusl for Janabah. She said: 'He used to wash his hands three times, then pour water with his right hand onto his left and wash his private part and whatever was on it.' - (One of the narrators) 'Umar said: "I think he said: 'He would pour water with his right hand onto his left hand three times.'" - "Then he would rinse his mouth three times and his nose three times, and wash his face and hands three times, then he would pour water over his head three times, then pour water over himself.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 246)

وَصَفَتْ عَائِشَةُ غُسْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ قَالَتْ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ وَمَا أَصَابَهُ ثُمَّ يُمَضْمِضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ covered himself and then performed ritual purification from sexual impurity. He began by washing his hands, pouring water from his right hand onto his left hand, and then he washed his private parts and anything that came into contact with them. Then he struck the ground or wall with his hand, and he performed ablution for prayer, except for his feet. Then he poured water over his feet and wiped them.

«سَتَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَاغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَبَدَأَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَبَّ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ وَمَا أَصَابَهُ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الْحَائِطِ أَوِ الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ نَحَّى قَدَمَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا»

[AI] "I prepared for the Prophet ﷺ water for performing ghusl from major impurity. He placed the container in his right hand and washed it twice or thrice, then poured water onto his private parts and washed it with his left hand. After that, he struck the ground with his hand and washed it. Then, he performed gargling, sniffing water into his nose, and washed his face and hands. He then poured water over his head and body. Then, he moved aside and washed his feet. Afterwards, I offered him a towel, but he did not take it and instead started shaking off the water from his body."

«وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ غُسْلًا يَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَأَكْفَأَ الْإِنَاءَ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَغَسَلَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ الْأَرْضَ فَغَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَجَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى نَاحِيَةً فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ نَاوَلْتُهُ الْمِنْدِيلَ فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ وَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ الْمَاءَ عَنْ جَسَدِهِ»

[AI] "I prepared water for the Prophet ﷺ for him to perform ablution. He washed himself from ritual impurity, and I handed him the water container with my left hand while he used his right hand to pour water on it. He washed his hands, then he poured water on his private parts and washed them. After that, he wiped his hand on the ground, then he gargled and sniffed water into his nose. He washed his face and arms, then poured water on his head and the rest of his body. Finally, he moved aside and washed his feet." She said, "Then I brought him a garment, and he shook it off, saying that this is how the water is scattered."

«وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ غُسْلًا فَاغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَأَكْفَأَ الْإِنَاءَ بِشِمَالِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ فَغَسَلَهُ ثُمَّ دَلَّكَ يَدَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ» قَالَتْ «فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِثَوْبٍ فَرَمَى بِهِ وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ بِالْمَاءِ هَكَذَا يَنْفُضُ الْمَاءَ»

"A vessel would be brought to the prophet ﷺ then he would pour water on his hand three times and wash them, then he would pour water with his right hand onto his left and wash off whatever was on his thighs. Then he would wash his hands, rinse his mouth and nose, pour water on his head three times, then pour water over the rest of his body." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 245)

عَنْ غُسْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ؟ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يُؤْتَى بِإِنَاءٍ فَيُصَبُّ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ مَا عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ وَيُمَضْمِضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ وَيَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ»

"Aishah described how the Prophet ﷺ performed Ghusl for Janabah. She said: 'He used to wash his hands three times, then pour water with his right hand onto his left and wash his private part and whatever was on it.' - (One of the narrators) 'Umar said: "I think he said: 'He would pour water with his right hand onto his left hand three times.'" - "Then he would rinse his mouth three times and his nose three times, and wash his face and hands three times, then he would pour water over his head three times, then pour water over himself.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 246)

وَصَفَتْ عَائِشَةُ غُسْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ وَمَا أَصَابَهُ قَالَ عُمَرُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ يَتَمَضْمَضُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ

"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)

عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ بَدَأَ فَأَفْرَغَ الْإِنَاءَ عَلَى يَدِهِ فَغَسَلَهَا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يُفْرِغُ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَمَسَحَهَا ثُمَّ غَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَسَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ

[AI] 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.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ يَبْدَأُ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُفْرِغُ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ الْمَاءَ فَيُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي أُصُولِ الشَّعْرِ حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ قَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ حَفَنَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ

[AI] I prepared a washing for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he performed ablution from impurity. Then, he poured water onto his right hand with his left hand and washed his hands three times. After that, he poured water over his private part and washed it. Then, he said, "With his hand, wipe the wall or the ground," so he wiped it. Then, he rinsed his mouth, sniffed water into his nose, washed his face and arms, poured water over his head, and then poured water over the rest of his body. After that, he moved aside and washed his feet. Then, I brought him a garment and he said, "With his hand, like this," meaning to return it.

وَضَعْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غُسْلًا فَاغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَأَكْفَأَ الْإِنَاءَ بِشِمَالِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ فَغَسَلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الْحَائِطِ أَوْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَدَلَكَهَا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَأَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِثَوْبٍ فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا يَعْنِي رَدَّهُ

"إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الجنَابَةِ فَبَدأَ فَغَسَل كَفَّيْه ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَه لِلصَّلَاةِ، ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي المَاءِ فَخَلَّلَ بِهَا أُصُولَ الشَّعْرِ حَتَّى يُخَيَّل إِلَيَّ أَنَّه اسْتَبْرَأَ البَشْرَةَ، ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأسِهِ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ الْمَاءَ".

"أنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الجنَابَةِ وُضِعَ لَهُ الإِنَاءُ فَيصب عَلَى يَدَيْهِ، أَدْخَلَ يَده اليُمْنَى فِي الإِنَاءِ، فَصَبَّ بِاليُمنَى، وَغَسَلَ فَرْجهُ بِاليُسْرَى، فَإِذَا فَرَغَ صَبَّ بِاليُمْنَى عَلَى اليُسْرَى فَغَسَلَهَمَا ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأَسِهِ مِلءَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ يَغْسِل سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ".

"وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ غُسْلًا فَاغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَأَكْفَأَ الإِنَاءَ بِشِمَالِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ، فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ فَغَسَلَهُ، ثُمَّ دَلَكَ يَدَهُ بِالأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ، وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأسِهِ، ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ الْمَاءَ، ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِثَوْبٍ فَرَدَّهُ، وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ بِالْمَاءِ هَكَذَا: يَنْفِضُ الْمَاءَ".
