أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عِيسَی عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ کُرَيْبٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةُ قَالَتْ أَدْنَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غُسْلَهُ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ فَغَسَلَ کَفَّيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ بِيَمِينِهِ فِي الْإِنَائِ فَأَفْرَغَ بِهَا عَلَی فَرْجِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِشِمَالِهِ الْأَرْضَ فَدَلَکَهَا دَلْکًا شَدِيدًا ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوئَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ عَلَی رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ حَثَيَاتٍ مِلْئَ کَفِّهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّی عَنْ مَقَامِهِ فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ فَرَدَّهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 256
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “My maternal aunt Maimunah told me: ‘I brought the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم water for his Ghusl from Janabah, and he washed his hands two or three times, then he put his right hand in the vessel and poured water over his private part, then he washed it with his left hand. Then he put his left hand on the ground and rubbed it hard. Then he performed Wudu as for prayer, then he poured three scoops with his two hands full of water over his head, then he washed his entire body, then he moved away from where he had been standing and washed his feet.’ She said: ‘Then I brought him a towel but he refused it.” (Sahih)
