419. It was narrated that Maimûnah bint Al-Ḥārith, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: "When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ performed Ghusl from Janâbah, he would start by washing his hands, then he would pour water with his right hand onto his left and wash his private part, then he would strike his hand on the ground then wipe it then wash it. Then he would
perform Wudû' as for prayer, then he would pour water on his head and all of his body. Then he would move and wash his feet.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
Earth obliterates the bad smell of impurity and its stickiness, etc. Therefore, hands ought to be rubbed with earth prior to Ghusl for sexual impurity. Nowadays, soap may serve the same purpose. See No. 254
