Hadith #85
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَوَكِيعٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ الْمَعْنَى قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ عَنْ غُسْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَبْدَأُ بِيَدَيْهِ فَيَغْسِلُهُمَا قَالَ وَكِيعٌ يَغْسِلُ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَتَوَضّ
َأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يُخَلِّلُ أُصُولَ شَعَرِ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْبَشَرَةَ اغْتَرَفَ ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ فَصَبَّهُنَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ غَرَفَ بِيَدَيْهِ مِلْءَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا

English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she described the Prophet's ﷺ ritual bath: he would perform ablution for prayer, then run his fingers through the roots of his hair. When he was satisfied that he had reached the scalp, he would scoop three handfuls and pour them on his head, then pour water over the rest of his body.
