Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)

Hazrat Amr bin Yahya al-Mazini narrates from his father that he said: Abdullah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), who is the grandfather of Amr bin Yahya and one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), was asked: Can you show me how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution? He said: Yes. So he called for water for ablution, poured it on his hand and washed both his hands twice, then rinsed his mouth and put water into his nose three times, then washed both his hands up to the elbows twice, then wiped his head with both hands, moving them forward and then backward, that is, he started wiping from the forehead to the nape of the neck and then brought them back from the nape to the forehead, then washed both feet.
