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) ʿAbdullah bin Zaid poured water on his hands from a utensil containing water and washed them and then with one handful of water he rinsed his mouth and cleaned his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. He repeated it thrice. He, then, washed his hands and forearms up to the elbows twice and passed wet hands over his head, both forwards and backwards, and washed his feet up to the ankles and said, "This is the ablution of Messenger of Allah ﷺ."  

أَنَّهُ أَفْرَغَ مِنَ الإِنَاءِ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ أَوْ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مِنْ كَفَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلاَثًا فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَا أَقْبَلَ وَمَا أَدْبَرَ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

My father said, "I saw ʿAmr bin Abi Hasan asking ʿAbdullah bin Zaid about the ablution of the Prophet. ʿAbdullah bin Zaid asked for an earthenware pot containing water and performed ablution in front of them. He poured water over his hands and washed them thrice. Then he put his (right) hand in the pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice with three handfuls of water Again he put his hand in the water and washed his face thrice. After that he put his hand in the pot and washed his forearms up to the elbows twice and then again put his hand in the water and passed wet hands over his head by bringing them to the front and then to the back and once more he put his hand in the pot and washed his feet (up to the ankles.)" Narrated Wuhaib: That he (the Prophet ﷺ in narration 191 above) had passed his wet hands on the head once only.  

عَنْ وُضُوءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَدَعَا بِتَوْرٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ لَهُمْ فَكَفَأَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلاَثًا بِثَلاَثِ غَرَفَاتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَأَدْبَرَ بِهِمَا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ قَالَ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ مَرَّةً  

(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  

[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] Regarding the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he called for a container of water, then he poured water over his hand and washed his hands three times. Then he immersed his hand in the vessel, rinsed his mouth, and took in water into his nose and blew it out, three times with three handfuls of water. Then he immersed his hand in the vessel and washed his face three times. Then he immersed his hand in the vessel and washed his arms up to the elbows, twice. Then he immersed his hand in the vessel and wiped his head, then he faced the front and the back. Then he immersed his hand in the vessel and washed his feet up to the ankles.

[Machine] We asked him to perform ablution for us, the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So he called for water and poured it upon his hands, washing them three times. Then he inserted his hand and pulled them out, rinsing his mouth and sniffing water through his nose from one handful of water, doing this three times. Then he washed his face three times, and washed his hands up to the elbows twice, each time. Then he put his hand and wiped his head, and brought his hand forward and wiped the back of his head once, then he washed his feet up to the ankles. Then he said, "This is how the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was."  

قُلْنَا لَهُ تَوَضَّأْ لَنَا وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى كَفَّيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجَهُمَا فَتَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مِنْ كَفٍّ وَاحِدٍ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا وَأَدْبَرَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا كَانَ وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

"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".
