حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْبَاهِلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ النَّخَعِيِّ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ بَدَأَ بِکَفَّيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ مَرَافِغَهُ وَأَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَائَ فَإِذَا أَنْقَاهُمَا أَهْوَی بِهِمَا إِلَی حَائِطٍ ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلُ الْوُضُوئَ وَيُفِيضُ الْمَائَ عَلَی رَأْسِهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 243
Aishah said; When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to take a bath because of sexual defilement, he would begin with his hands and wash them. Then he would wash the joints of his limbs and pour water upon him when he cleansed both his (hands), he would rub them on the wall (to make them perfectly clean with the dust). Then he would perform ablution and pour water over his head.
