Sahih al-Bukhari 186 (Book 4, Hadith 52)
`Abdullah bin Zaid asked for earthenware pot containing water and in front of them performed
ablution like that of the Prophet (ﷺ) . He poured water from the pot over his hand and washed his hands
thrice and then he put his hands in the pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water
in it and then blowing it out with three handfuls of water. Again he put his hand in the water and
washed his face thrice and washed his forearms up to the elbows twice; and then put his hands in the
water and then passed them over his head by bringing them to the front and then to the rear of the
head once, and then he washed his feet up to the ankles.
