حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ دَعَا بِشَيْئٍ مِنْ نَحْوِ الْحِلَابِ فَأَخَذَ بِکَفَّيْهِ فَبَدَأَ بِشِقِّ رَأْسِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ الْأَيْسَرِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِکَفَّيْهِ فَقَالَ بِهِمَا عَلَی رَأْسِهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 240
Aishah reported: when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to wash himself because of sexual defilement, he called for a vessel like HILAB (a vessel used for milking the camel). He then took a handful of water and began to pour it on the right side of his head and then on the left side. He then took water in both his hands together and poured it on his head.
