Hadith Commentary:
From this it is understood that first, after performing istinja (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) and similar acts, ablution (wudu) should be performed. Rinsing the mouth and putting water into the nose are also established from this. Then, the ritual bath (ghusl) should be performed, and the washing should be started from the right side.
