حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏دَعَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ نَحْوِ الْحِلَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخَذَ بِكَفَّيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَدَأَ بِشِقِّ رَأْسِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ الْأَيْسَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِكَفَّيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ بِهِمَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ .

when the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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.
