English Translation

Hadrat Abdullah bin Zaid (may Allah be well pleased with him) narrates that Amr bin Abi Hasan asked him about the ablution of the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). He called for a basin of water and performed ablution before them. He poured water over his hands and washed them three times. Then he put his hand in the vessel and rinsed his mouth, put water in his nose, and blew it out three times with three handfuls of water. Then he put his hand in the vessel and washed his face three times. Then he put his hand in the vessel and washed both his forearms up to the elbows twice each. Then he put his hand in the vessel and wiped over his head — bringing his hands forward then back. Then he put his hand in the vessel and washed both his feet. In another narration, Musa says that Wuhayb stated that he wiped his head only once.
