[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to begin by washing his hands after exiting a state of major ritual impurity. Then, he would take water with his right hand and pour it over his left hand, washing his private parts until they were clean. Then, he would rinse his mouth and nostrils three times, wash his face three times, and his arms three times. After that, he would pour water over his head and body. When he finished, he would wash his feet.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ بَدَأَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَمِينِهِ فَصَبَّ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ حَتَّى يُنْقِيَهُ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَجَسَدِهِ الْمَاءَ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ غَسَلَ 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.
