\n\n \nYahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his\nfather from A'isha, umm al-muminin, that whenever the Messenger of\nAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did ghusl for major\nritual impurity, he would begin by washing his hands, and then do wudu\nas for prayer. He would then put his fingers in the water and rub the\nroots of his hair with them. Then he would pour as much water as two\nhands can hold on to his head three times, and over the entire surface\nof his skin.\n\n

\nحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ بَدَأَ بِغَسْلِ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيُخَلِّلُ بِهَا أُصُولَ شَعْرِهِ ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ غَرَفَاتٍ بِيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ الْمَاءَ عَلَى جِلْدِهِ كُلِّهِ ‏.‏
