English Translation

Hadrat Maymunah (may Allah be well pleased with her), the Mother of the Believers, narrated: I placed water for the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) (for his bath from major impurity). He poured it over his hands and washed his private part. When he finished, he wiped his hand on the ground or against a wall — Sulayman was unsure — then rinsed his mouth and inhaled water into his nose, washed his face and arms, poured water on his head and body. When he finished, he moved aside and washed his feet. She said: I offered him a cloth, but he refused and started shaking his hands. She said: I screened him until he finished bathing. Sulayman said: Salim mentioned that this bath of the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was from major impurity (janabah).
