Ghusl for janabah

Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I placed water for the ritual bath for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He took the bath for janabah in this way: he tilted the vessel with his left hand onto his right and washed his palms, then poured water over his private part and washed it, then rubbed his hand on the ground. Then he rinsed his mouth, then put water into his nose, then washed his face and forearms. Then he poured water over his head, then poured water over the rest of his body. Then he moved away from the place of bathing and washed his feet. She said: I brought him a cloth, but he returned it and began shaking the water off with his hand like this.

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the bath for janabah in this way: first he washed both palms three times, then performed ablution as for prayer.

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was to take the bath for janabah, a vessel of water would be placed for him. He would wash his hands before putting them into the water. When he had washed his hands, he would put his right hand into the vessel. He would take water with the right hand and clean his private part with the left hand. Then he would pour water with the right hand onto the left hand and wash it. Then he would rinse his mouth and put water into his nose three times each, then pour water over his head three times, filling both hands, then wash his whole body.

In the bath for janabah, perform the ablution that you perform for prayer."
