It was narrated from 'Aishah that when the Prophet ﷺ performed Ghusl from Janabah he would start by washing his hands, then he would perform Wudu' as for prayer, then he would dip his fingers in the water, then run them through his hair, then he would pour water over his head three times, then he would pour water over his entire body.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ بَدَأَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ الْمَاءَ فَيُخَلِّلُ بِهَا أُصُولَ شَعْرِهِ ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ غُرَفٍ ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ الْمَاءَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ كُلِّهِ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to begin by washing his hands, then perform ablution for prayer. He would then dip his hand in water and pass it through the roots of his hair until he believed that his skin had been relieved from impurities. He would pour three handfuls of water over his head and then perform a full body wash. Abu Muhammad said, "This narration from Salim bin Abi Al-Jaad is dearer to me."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَبْدَأُ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ كَفَّهُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيُخَلِّلُ بِهَا أُصُولَ شَعْرِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا خُيِّلَ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْبَشَرَةَ غَرَفَ بِيَدِهِ ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ فَصَبَّهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسَلَ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَذَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ

[AI] Regarding the washing of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from janaba (major ritual impurity), she said: He would begin by washing his hands, and then he would wash them. Wiqas would wash his hands three times, then he would perform ablution for prayer. He would then pour water three times over the roots of his hair until he thought that the skin had been rinsed, and then he would pour three handfuls of water over his head and let it flow over the rest of his body. Ibn Numair said: He would fill his hands with water three times.

عَنْ غُسْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَبْدَأُ بِيَدَيْهِ فَيَغْسِلُهُمَا قَالَ وَكِيعٌ يَغْسِلُ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يُخَلِّلُ أُصُولَ شَعَرِ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ قَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْبَشَرَةَ اغْتَرَفَ ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ فَصَبَّهُنَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ غَرَفَ بِيَدَيْهِ مِلْءَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا

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

It was narrated from 'Aishah that when the Prophet ﷺ performed Ghusl from Janabah he would start by washing his hands, then he would perform Wudu' as for prayer, then he would dip his fingers in the water, then run them through his hair, then he would pour water over his head three times, then he would pour water over his entire body. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 247)

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ بَدَأَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيُخَلِّلُ بِهَا أُصُولَ شَعْرِهِ ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ الْمَاءَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ»

قالت كنت أغتسل أنا ورسول اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ واحد وكان يبدأ فيغتسل ما أصابه ثم يتوضأ وضوءه للصلاة ثم يخلل رأسه مرتين ثم يفرغ على رأسه ثلاث مرات ثم يصب على جسده فضل مائة

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ghusl to cleanse himself from major impurity. He washed his hands three times, then performed wudu for prayer. After that, he inserted his hand into a vessel of water and passed his fingers through the roots of his hair until it seemed to him that he had thoroughly cleaned his scalp. Then, he poured water onto his head, allowing it to flow over the rest of his body.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَبَدَأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَخَلَّلَ بِهَا أُصُولَ شَعْرِهِ حَتَّى خُيِّلَ إِلِيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْبَشَرَةَ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ الْمَاءَ

[AI] The Prophet Mohammed ﷺ used to start by washing his hands, then perform ablution for prayer. After that, he would dip his hands into water and run his fingers through his hair roots. When he felt that his skin was well-moistened, he would pour three handfuls of water over his head. Then he would wash the rest of his body. This hadith is narrated by Hisham bin Urwah in Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَبْدَأُ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ كَفَّيْهِ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيُخَلِّلُ بِهَا أُصُولَ شَعْرِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا خُيِّلَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ قَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْبَشَرَةَ غَرَفَ بِيَدِهِ ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ فَصَبَّهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسَلَ مُخَرَّجٌ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ

"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".
