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 placed water for the bath of the Prophet ﷺ and screened him with a garment. He poured water over his hands and washed them. After that he poured water with his right hand over his left and washed his private parts, rubbed his hands with earth and washed them, rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out and then washed his face and forearms. He poured water over his head and body. He then shifted from that place and washed his feet. I gave him a piece of cloth but he did not take it and came out removing the water (from his body) with both his hands.  

مَيْمُونَةُ وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ غُسْلاً فَسَتَرْتُهُ بِثَوْبٍ وَصَبَّ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثُمَّ صَبَّ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ الأَرْضَ فَمَسَحَهَا ثُمَّ غَسَلَهَا فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَأَفَاضَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثَوْبًا فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ فَانْطَلَقَ وَهْوَ يَنْفُضُ يَدَيْهِ  

I placed (the vessel of) water for the Prophet (May peace be upon him) to wash himself because of sexual intercourse. He lowered down the vessel and poured water on his right hand. He then washed it twice or thrice. He then poured water over his private parts and washed them with his left hand. Then he put it on the ground and wiped it. He then rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water, and washed his face and hands. He then poured water over his head and body. Then he moved aside and washed his feet. I handed him a garment, but he began to shake he moved aside and washed his feet. I handed him a garment, but he began to shake off water from his body. I mentioned it to Ibrahim. He said that they (companions) did not think there was any harm in using the garment (to wipe the water), but they disliked its use as a habit. Abu Dawud said: Musaddad said: I asked ‘Abd Allah b. Dawud whether they (the companions) disliked to make it a habit. He replied: it (the tradition) goes in a similar way and I found it in a similar way in this book of mine.  

وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ غُسْلاً يَغْتَسِلُ بِهِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَأَكْفَأَ الإِنَاءَ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَغَسَلَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ الأَرْضَ فَغَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَجَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى نَاحِيَةً فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الْمِنْدِيلَ فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ وَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ الْمَاءَ عَنْ جَسَدِهِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ كَانُوا لاَ يَرَوْنَ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ بَأْسًا وَلَكِنْ كَانُوا يَكْرَهُونَ الْعَادَةَ  

[Machine] I performed the ritual washing (ghusl) for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and covered him. Then, I poured water on his hand, and he washed it once or twice. Sulayman (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I do not remember if he washed it three times or not." He then poured water on his right hand onto his left, and he washed his private parts. After that, he wiped his hand on the ground or the wall, then he rinsed his mouth, sniffed water and cleaned his face, hands, and washed his head. He then poured water on his body and moved aside to wash his feet. I offered him a piece of cloth (for drying himself), but he made a gesture with his hand indicating that he did not want it. Sulayman (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said, 'That's how it is. He did not object.' Ibrahim also said, 'There is nothing wrong with using a towel; it is just a customary practice.'"  

وَضَعْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غِسْلًا وَسَتَرْتُهُ فَصَبَّ عَلَى يَدِهِ فَغَسَلَهَا مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَةَ أَمْ لَا قَالَ ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَىشِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ دَلَكَ يَدَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ أَوْ بِالْحَائِطِ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ وَغَسَلَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ قَالَتْ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ خِرْقَةً قَالَ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ لَا أُرِيدُهَا قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ هُوَ كَذَلِكَ وَلَمْ يُنْكِرْهُ وقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَا بَأْسَ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ عَادَةٌ
