The Apostle of Allah ﷺ said: When anyone amongst you wakes up from sleep, he should wash his hands three times before putting it in the utensil, for he does not know where his hand was during the night.  

مسلم:٢٧٨dوَحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُفْرِغْ عَلَى يَدِهِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ يَدَهُ فِي إِنَائِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي فِيمَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ
