Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَوَكِيعٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ الْمَعْنَى قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ عَنْ غُسْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَبْدَأُ بِيَدَيْهِ فَيَغْسِلُهُمَا قَالَ وَكِيعٌ يَغْسِلُ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يُخَلِّلُ أُصُولَ شَعَرِ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْبَشَرَةَ اغْتَرَفَ ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ فَصَبَّهُنَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ غَرَفَ بِيَدَيْهِ مِلْءَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا.
English Translation
Aisha described the bathing of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) from major impurity (janabah). She said: "He would begin by washing his hands" - Waki' said: "washing his palms three times" - "then he would perform ablution as for prayer, then he would run his fingers through the roots of his hair until, when he was certain that he had reached the skin, he would pour three handfuls of water over his head, then he would pour water over the rest of his body."
