Sahih al-Bukhari 192 (Book 4, Hadith 58)
Prophet. `Abdullah bin Zaid asked for an earthenware pot containing water and performed ablution in
front of them. He poured water over his hands and washed them thrice. Then he put his (right) hand in
the pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice
with three handfuls of water Again he put his hand in the water and washed his face thrice. After that
he put his hand in the pot and washed his forearms up to the elbows twice and then again put his hand
in the water and passed wet hands over his head by bringing them to the front and then to the back and
once more he put his hand in the pot and washed his feet (up to the ankles.)”

Sahih al-Bukhari 192 (Book 4, Hadith 58)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
