185. Narrated Yaḥyā Al-Māzinī: A person asked 'Abdullāh bin Zaid رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ, who was the grandfather of 'Amr bin Yaḥyā, "Can you show me how Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to perform ablution?" 'Abdullāh bin Zaid replied in the affirmative and asked for water. He poured it on his hands and washed them twice, then he rinsed his mouth thrice and washed his nose with water thrice by putting water in it and blowing it out. He washed his face thrice and after that he washed his forearms up to the elbow twice and then passed his wet hands over his head from its front to its back and vice versa (beginning from the front and taking them to the back of his head up to the nape of the neck and then brought them to the front again from where he had started) and then washed his feet (up to the ankles).
