حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَالَتِهِ مَيْمُونَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غُسْلًا يَغْتَسِلُ بِهِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَكْفَأَ الْإِنَاءَ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَغَسَلَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ الْأَرْضَ فَغَسَلَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَجَسَدِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى نَاحِيَةً فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الْمِنْدِيلَ فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ وَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ الْمَاءَ عَنْ جَسَدِهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانُوا لَا يَرَوْنَ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ بَأْسًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ كَانُوا يَكْرَهُونَ الْعَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانُوا يَكْرَهُونَهُ لِلْعَادَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَكَذَا هُوَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ وَجَدْتُهُ فِي كِتَابِي هَكَذَا.

I placed (the vessel of) water for the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم to wash himself because of sexual intercourse. He lowered down the vessel and poured water on his right hand. He then washed it twice or thrice. He then poured water over his private parts and washed them with his left hand. Then he put it on the ground and wiped it. He then rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water, and washed his face and hands. He then poured water over his head and body. Then he moved aside and washed his feet. I handed him a garment, but he began to shake he moved aside and washed his feet. I handed him a garment, but he began to shake off water from his body. I mentioned it to Ibrahim. He said that they (companions) did not think there was any harm in using the garment (to wipe the water), but they disliked its use as a habit. Abu Dawud said: Musaddad said: I asked Abdullah bin Dawud whether they (the companions) disliked to make it a habit. He replied: it (the tradition) goes in a similar way and I found it in a similar way in this book of mine.
