أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُکُمْ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ فَلَا يُدْخِلْ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَائِ حَتَّی يُفْرِغَ عَلَيْهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 163
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “When any one of you wakes from sleep, let him not put his hand into the vessel until he has washed it three times, because he does not know where his hand spent the night.” (Sahih)
