أَخْبَرَنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ
أَنْ تُرِيَنِي كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ نَعَمْ فَدَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلِ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا وَأَدْبَرَ بَدَأَ بِمُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ بِهِمَا إِلَى قَفَاهُ ثُمَّ رَدَّهُمَا حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي بَدَأَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ

✧ Could you show me how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ablution? Abdullah b. Zayd said: Yes. He called for ablution water, poured some on his right hand, and washed both hands twice. Then he rinsed his mouth and sniffed water three times, washed his face three times, then washed his hands twice each up to the elbows. Then he wiped his head with both hands, passing them forward and backward, starting from the front of his head, then moving them to the back of his neck, then returning them to the place from which he started. Then he washed his feet.
