My father saw ʿAmr bin Abi Hasan asking ʿAbdullah bin Zaid about the ablution of the Prophet. ʿAbdullah bin Zaid asked for earthenware pot containing water and in front of them performed ablution like that of the Prophet ﷺ . He poured water from the pot over his hand and washed his hands thrice and then he put his hands in the pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out with three handfuls of water. Again he put his hand in the water and washed his face thrice and washed his forearms up to the elbows twice; and then put his hands in the water and then passed them over his head by bringing them to the front and then to the rear of the head once, and then he washed his feet up to the ankles.  

عَنْ وُضُوءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَدَعَا بِتَوْرٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ لَهُمْ وُضُوءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَكْفَأَ عَلَى يَدِهِ مِنَ التَّوْرِ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي التَّوْرِ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلاَثَ غَرَفَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا وَأَدْبَرَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ  

(on the authority of his father) My uncle used to perform ablution extravagantly and once he asked ʿAbdullah bin Zaid to tell him how he had seen the Prophet ﷺ performing ablution. He asked for an earthenware pot containing water, and poured water from it on his hands and washed them thrice, and then put his hand in the earthenware pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice with one handful of water; he again put his hand in the water and took a handful of water and washed his face thrice, then washed his hands up to the elbows twice, and took water with his hand, and passed it over his head from front to back and then from back to front, and then washed his feet (up to the ankles) and said, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ performing ablution in that way."  

أَخْبِرْنِي كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَدَعَا بِتَوْرٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَكَفَأَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي التَّوْرِ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ مِنْ غَرْفَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَاغْتَرَفَ بِهَا فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ مَاءً فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَدْبَرَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَأَقْبَلَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ  

It was said to him (by people): Perform for us the ablution (as it was performed) by the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him). He ('Abdullah b. Zaid) called for a vessel (of water), and poured water from it on his hands and washed them three times. Then he inserted his hand (in the vessel) and brought it (water) out, rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water from the palm of one hand doing that three times, He again inserted his hand and brought it out and washed his face three times, then inserted his hand and brought it out and washed each arm up to the elbow twice, then inserted his hand and brought it out and wiped his head both front and back with his hands. He then washed his feet up to the ankles, and then said: This is how God's Messenger (peace be upon him) performed ablution.  

قِيلَ لَهُ تَوَضَّأْ لَنَا وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ فَأَكْفَأَ مِنْهَا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَهَا فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مِنْ كَفٍّ وَاحِدَةٍ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَهَا فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَهَا فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَهَا فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَأَدْبَرَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا كَانَ وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Narrated Abdullah ibn Zaid ibn Asim: He had companionship. He was told, "Perform ablution for us, the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He then called for a container and poured water on his hands three times, washed them, then inserted his hand and drew it out, rinsed his mouth and sniffed water in from a hollow of his hands, and he did that three times. He then washed his face and put his hand into the vessel again and rinsed his hand. Then he poured water over his head, tilting it backwards and forwards three times, and he then washed his feet up to the ankles thrice. He then told them this was how ablution was performed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ فَقِيلَ لَهُ تَوَضَّأْ لَنَا وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَدَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ فَأَكْفَأَ مِنْهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ وَاسْتَخْرَجَهَا فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مِنْ كَفٍّ وَاحِدَةٍ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثًا وَاسْتَخْرَجَهَا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَهَا فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَهَا فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَأَدْبَرَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا كَانَ وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] "To enter them (the hands) into the container, then he entered his right hand into the container and let the water gush out from it. He filled his mouth, rinsed it, and sniffed water three times. Then he entered his hand into the container and washed his face three times, his forearms three times, and wiped his head with both hands, starting from the front and moving towards the back. Then he entered his right hand and poured water onto his right foot, washing it. Then he entered his hand into the container and washed the other foot. Then he said, 'Whoever wants to see the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , this is his ablution.'"  

أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُمَا الْإِنَاءَ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَغَرَفَ مِنْهُ مَاءً فَمَلَأَ فَاهُ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ جَمِيعًا مُقَدَّمَهُ وَمُؤَخَّرَهُ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ الْيُمْنَى فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى قَدَمِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَغَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهَا فَغَسَلَ الْأُخْرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَهَذَا وُضُوؤُهُ»

"عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أبِى حَسَنٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ الله بْنِ زَيْدِ: أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُرِيَنِى كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَدَعَا بِتَوْرٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَأَكْفَأَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ في التَّوْرِ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلاَث مَرَّاتٍ يُمَضْمِضُ وَيَسْتَنْثِرُ مِن غَرْفَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَيْهِ فَاغْتَرَفَ بِهِمَا فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى المِرْفَقَيْنِ مَرَّتيْنِ، ثُمَّ أخَذَ بِيَدَيْهِ مَاءً فَمَسَحَ رَأسَهُ فَأدْبَرَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَأَقْبَلَ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الكَعْبَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ".
