Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 1, Hadith 246

Abu Salamah (narrated) that he entered upon ‘Aishah and asked her about the Ghusl of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) from Janabah. She said: “A vessel would be brought to the prophet (ﷺ) then he would pour water on his hand three times and wash them, then he would pour water with his right hand onto his left and wash off whatever was on his thighs. Then he would wash his hands, rinse his mouth and nose, pour water on his head three times, then pour water over the rest of his body.”

أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، أَنْبَأَنَا النَّضْرُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ – رضى الله عنها – فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ غُسْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُؤْتَى بِالإِنَاءِ فَيَصُبُّ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا فَيَغْسِلُهُمَا ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ مَا عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ وَيَتَمَضْمَضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ وَيَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 1, Hadith 246

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Sunan an-Nasa’i stands as one of the six canonical collections of hadith, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, which are foundational to Sunni Islamic jurisprudence and theology. This significant work was compiled by the esteemed 9th-century scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i. The collection is distinguished by its author’s meticulous and rigorous methodology, which involved a stringent process for verifying the authenticity of each narration. By deliberately excluding traditions he deemed weak or fabricated, al-Nasa’i created a compilation of over 5,700 hadiths that is highly respected for its reliability and its focused emphasis on the authentic sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad.
