حدثنا سليمان بن حرب الواشحي. ح حَدَّثَنَا وَمُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ:‏‏‏‏ يَبْدَأُ فَيُفْرِغُ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ:‏‏‏‏ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ يَصُبُّ الْإِنَاءَ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا:‏‏‏‏ فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ:‏‏‏‏ يُفْرِغُ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ وَرُبَّمَا كَنَتْ عَنِ الْفَرْجِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَيُخَلِّلُ شَعْرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَصَابَ الْبَشْرَةَ أَوْ أَنْقَى الْبَشْرَةَ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا فَضَلَ فَضْلَةٌ صَبَّهَا عَلَيْهِ .

When the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم would take a bath because of sexual defilement, according to the version of Sulaiman, in the beginning he would pour water with his right hand (upon his left hand); and according to the version of Musaddad, he would wash both (hands) pouring water from the vessel upon his right hand. According to the agreed version, he then would wash the private part. He would then perform ablution as he did for prayer, then put his hands in the vessel and made the water go through his hair. When he knew that water had reached the entire surface of the body and cleaned it well, he would pour water upon his head three times. If some water was left, he would pour it also upon himself.
