It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We mentioned the ritual bath of janabah in the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My practice is that I take three handfuls of water with both palms and pour it over my head, and then I pour water over the rest of my body.
