253. ‘Aishah narrated: “One of us, when she was in a state of Janābah, would take three handfuls of water like this — and she motioned with both her hands — and pour it over her head. She would take a handful of water with one hand and pour it over this side, and the other (hand) over the other side.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

253 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا أَصَابَتْهَا جَنَابَةٌ أَخَذَتْ ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ - هَكَذَا تَعْنِي بِكَفَّيْهَا جَمِيعًا - فَتَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا، وَأَخَذَتْ بِيَدٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَصَبَّتْهَا عَلَى هَذَا الشِّقِّ، وَالْأُخْرَى عَلَى الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ»
