Narrated Amr bin Yahya:
My father said, “I saw Amr bin Abi Hasan asking ‘Abdullah bin Zaid about the ablution of the
Prophet. Abdullah bin Zaid asked for an earthenware pot containing water and performed ablution
in front of them. He poured water over his hands and washed them thrice. Then he put his (right)
hand in the pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it
out thrice with three handfuls of water Again he put his hand in the water and washed his face
thrice. After that he put his hand in the pot and washed his forearms up to the elbows twice and then
again put his hand in the water and passed wet hands over his head by bringing them to the front
and then to the back and once more he put his hand in the pot and washed his feet (up to the
ankles.)”
