Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, and we brought out water for him (peace and blessings be upon him) in a brass vessel. He (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution with it: he washed his face three times and his forearms twice each, and wiped his head, moving his hands from the front to the back and from the back to the front, and he washed his feet.
