Musnad Imam Shafi'i

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed ablution, he washed his face three times, and washed his hands twice each, and wiped his head with his hands such that he moved both hands from the front of the head to the back, and then brought them from the back to the front. He started from the front part of the head and took his hands to the nape, and then in the same way brought both hands back to the place from where he had started wiping. Then he washed both his feet.
