97. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Yahya Al-Mâzînî that his father said to 'Abdullâh bin Zaid bin 'Âsim - who was one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and the grandfather of 'Amr bin Yahya: "Can you show me how the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to perform Wudû'?" 'Abdullâh bin Zaid said: "Yes. He called for (water for) Wudû' and poured some onto his hand, washing each hand twice. Then he rinsed his mouth and nose three times, then he washed his face three times, then he washed each hand twice, up to the elbow. Then he wiped his head with his hands, back and forth, starting at the front of his head and moving his hands to the nape of his neck, then bringing them back to the place he started. Then he washed his feet." (Sahîh)

Commentary
"Up to and including the elbows (Illal Mirfaqayn)": The majority of scholars agree that when one washes one's forearms during ablution, one must wash one's elbows as well. Likewise, when one washes one's feet, one should make sure to also wash one's ankle bones.
