Once Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and we brought out water for him in a brass pot. He performed ablution thus: He washed his face thrice, and his forearms to the elbows twice, then passed his wet hands lightly over the head from front to rear and brought them to front again and washed his feet (up to the ankles).

أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْرَجْنَا لَهُ مَاءً فِي تَوْرٍ مِنْ صُفْرٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا وَيَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِ وَأَدْبَرَ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ

I saw ‘ Ali performing ablution. He washed his face three times and his hands three times and wiped his head once. Then he (‘Ali) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ablution in this way.

رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا ؓ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

"The Prophet performed Wudu; so he washed his face three times, and his hands three times, and wiped his head, and he said: "The ears are part of the head."

تَوَضَّأَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَقَالَ الأُذُنَانِ مِنَ الرَّأْسِ

"The Prophet performed Wudu. So he washed his face three times, and washed his hands two times each, and wiped his head, and washed his feet [two times]."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا وَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ

"I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform Wudu'; he washed his face three times and his hands twice, he washed his feet twice and wiped his head twice."

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا وَيَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ

I saw 'Ali performing Wudu'. He washed his hands three times, and rinsed his mouth three times and his nose three times, and he washed his face three times and each forearm three times. Then he wiped his head and washed each foot three times. Then he said: 'This is the Wudu' of the Prophet ﷺ.'"

رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلاَثًا وَتَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلاَثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثَلاَثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثَلاَثًا قَالَ هَذَا وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as doing wudoo’. He washed his face three times and his hands three times, and he wiped his head and washed his feet.

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاثًا وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ غَسْلًا

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do wudoo’: he washed his face three times and his hands three times, and he washed his arms three times each, and wiped his head, and washed his feet thoroughly.

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاثًاوَيَدَيْهِ ثَلاثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاثًا ثَلاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ غَسْلًا

[AI] Abdullah ibn Zaid, the companion of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), narrated: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) came to us, so I brought him water to perform ablution. He washed his face three times, and his hands twice, and wiped his head with it. He started with the front part of his head and ended with the back. Then he wiped his ears and washed his feet.

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ جَاءَنَا رَسُولُاللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْرَجْتُ إِلَيْهِ مَاءً يَتَوَضَّأُ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ أَقْبَلَ بِهِ وَأَدْبَرَ وَمَسَحَ بِأُذُنَيْهِ وَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ

The ablution water was brought to the Messenger ﷺ and he performed ablution; he washed his hands up to wrists three times, then washed his forearms three times. He then rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water three times; then he wiped his head and ears inside and outside. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 121)

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِوَضُوءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ ظَاهِرِهِمَا وَبَاطِنِهِمَا وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in our house, so he called for wudu (ablution). We brought him a container with water. He performed wudu by washing his face three times, washing his hands twice, wiping his head, and then he washed his feet."

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَنَا فِي الْبَيْتِ فَدَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ بِتَوْرٍ مِنْ صُفْرٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَقْبَلَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَأَدْبَرَ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ»

قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ هَكَذَا وَقَالَ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ دُونَ هَذَا كَفَاهُ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَى أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ

أَنَّهُ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ الْقَدَمَ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ الْيُسْرَى ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ

[AI] I saw the Prophet ﷺ perform ablution once, wipe his head once, and greet once.

«رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ مَرَّةً وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ مَرَّةً وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّةً»

I saw 'Ali performing Wudu'. He washed his hands three times, and rinsed his mouth three times and his nose three times, and he washed his face three times and each forearm three times. Then he wiped his head and washed each foot three times. Then he said: 'This is the Wudu' of the Prophet ﷺ.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 115)

رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَتَمَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

"I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform Wudu'; he washed his face three times and his hands twice, he washed his feet twice and wiped his head twice." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 99)

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ»

[AI] Abdullah bin Zaid, a companion of the Prophet, may ﷺ , said, "The Prophet, may ﷺ , came to us and we brought him water in a container made of clay. He performed ablution with it, washing his face three times and his hands up to his elbows two times each. He then wiped his head with the water and proceeded to wash his feet."

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ صَاحِبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ جَاءَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَخْرَجْنَا لَهُ مَاءً فِي تَوْرٍ مِنْ صُفْرٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ بِهِ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا وَأَدْبَرَ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ

"عن حمران قال: رأيت عثمان توضأ فغسل يديه ثلاثًا، وغسل وجهه ثلاثًا، وغسل ذراعيه ثلاثًا، ومسح رأسه ثلاثًا، ثم غسل قدميه ثلاثًا، ثم قال: رأيت رسول الله ﷺ فتوضأ هكذا وقال: من توضأ دون هذا كفاه".

" عَنْ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: رَأيتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثَلاَثًا ثَلاَثًا، ومسَحَ رَأسَه وَغَسلَ قَدَمَيْه غَسْلًا".

" أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاثًا، وَيَدَيْهِ مَرَّتيْنِ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأسِهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ".
