English translation

422. It was narrated from Abû Salamah from 'Aîshah, and, from 'Amr bin Sa'd, from Nâfi', from Ibn 'Umar: That 'Umar asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about Ghusl from Janâbah - and the narrations agree on this - that one should start by pouring water on the right hand two or three times, then put the right hand into the vessel and pour water with it onto the private parts, with the left hand on the private parts to wash off whatever is there, until it is clean; then put the left hand on the dust if one wants to, then pour water over the left hand until it is clean; then wash the hands three times, (sniff water into the nose) and rinse the mouth, and wash the face and forearms, three times each until when reaching the head, he does not wipe the head, rather he pours water over it. This is how the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ performed Ghusl according to what was mentioned. (Sahīh)

Arabic text

422 - أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ ابْنُ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ - وَاتَّسَقَتِ الْأَحَادِيثُ عَلَى هَذَا - «يَبْدَأُ فَيُفْرِغُ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَيَصُبُّ بِهَا عَلَى فَرْجِهِ وَيَدُهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَرْجِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ مَا هُنَالِكَ حَتَّى يُنْقِيَهُ، ثُمَّ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى التُّرَابِ إِنْ شَاءَ، ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى حَتَّى يُنْقِيَهَا، ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ وَيُمَضْمِضُ وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ رَأْسَهُ لَمْ يَمْسَحْ وَأَفْرَغَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ» فَهَكَذَا كَانَ غُسْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيمَا ذُكِرَ

Commentary

1. Washing the right hand first of all is in the position when impurity is found, or one has doubts concerning the presence of an impurity. 2. "If one wants to", means that rubbing the hand with earth is governed by necessity. If the defilement is sticky one may rub it on earth to eradicate the stickiness; otherwise, there is no need to do that. 3. May not wipe the head: This is because the head is to be washed; hence, wiping it would be of no avail.
