390. It was narrated that Rubai' bint Mu'awwidh said: "I brought a basin of water to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Pour it,' so I poured it and he washed his face and forearms, then he took fresh water and wiped his head, front and back, and then he washed his feet. He washed each part three times." (Da'if)
390 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنِ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذٍ، قَالَتْ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِمِيضَأَةٍ، فَقَالَ: «اسْكُبِي» فَسَكَبْتُ، فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ، وَأَخَذَ مَاءً جَدِيدًا فَمَسَحَ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ، مُقَدَّمَهُ وَمُؤَخَّرَهُ، وَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا "

a. Ruba'i' is among the younger female Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, which is to say she was a minor during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ. She belongs to the Helpers' tribe of Banu Najjār. Her father Mu'awwidh bin 'Afrā' had participated in the battle of Badr. b. It is part of Sunnah to wipe the entire head. This is what we mean by the expression 'wiped his head, front and back'. There is no proof that the Prophet ﷺ wiped half or one fourth of his head. It is, however, proved that the Prophet ﷺ first wiped part of the head, then completed the remainder part of it on his turban. c. The original order in respect of the feet is washing them. Wiping them is only allowed if one is wearing socks while the feet had been washed for ablution before putting them on.
