It was asked from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) about the ablution of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he called for a basin of water. And he performed ablution for them just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. (First) he poured water from the basin onto his hands, then washed his hands three times, then put his hand into the basin (and took water), then rinsed his mouth, put water into his nose, and cleaned his nose, with three handfuls. Then he put his hand into the basin, cleaned his nose, with three handfuls. Then he put his hand into the basin and washed his face three times. Then he washed both his hands up to the elbows twice. Then he put his hand into the basin and wiped his head. (First) he brought (his hands) forward, then took them back, once. Then he washed both his feet up to the ankles.
