Uqba bin 'Amir al-Juhani reported: Verily the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said and then narrated (the hadith) like one (mentioned above) except (this) that he said: He who performed ablution and said: I testify that there is no god but Allah, the One, there is no associate with Him and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.

'Abdullah bin Zaid bin 'Asim al-Ansari (RA), who was a Companion (of the Holy Prophet), reported: It was said to him (by people): Perform for us the ablution (as it was performed) by the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He ('Abdullah bin Zaid) called for a vessel (of water), and poured water from it on his hands and washed them three times. Then he inserted his hand (in the vessel) and brought it (water) out, rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water from the palm of one hand doing that three times, He again inserted his hand and brought it out and washed his face three times, then inserted his hand and brought it out and washed each arm up to the elbow thrice, then inserted his hand and brought it out and wiped his head both front and back with his hands. He then washed his feet up to the ankles, and then said: This is how God's Messenger (peace be upon him) performed ablution.

This hadith is narrated by Amr bin Yahya with the same chain of transmitters, but there is no mention of ankles.

Malik bin Anas narrated it from 'Amr bin Yahya with the same chain of transmitters, and mentioned the rinsing (of mouth) and snuffing (of water into the nostrils) three times, but he did not mention "from one palm," and made this addition: He moved them (his hands) for wiping to the front of his head and then the nape of his neck, then bringing them back till he reached the place from which he had begun, after which he washed his feet.

Babz reported: This hadith has been narrated by Wuwb on the authority of 'Amr bin Yahyi with the same chain of transmitters and it has been mentioned therein: He rinsed his mouth, snuffed up water in nostrils and cleaned the nose with three handfuls and wiped his head moving (his hand) in front and then back once. Bahz said: Wuhaib narrated this hadith to me and Wuhaib said: Amr bin Yahya narrated to me this hadith twice.

'Abdullah bin Zaid bin 'Asim al-Mazini (RA) reported: He saw Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) perform the ablution. He rinsed his mouth then cleaned his nose, then washed his face three times, then washed his right hand thrice and then the other one, thrice. He then took fresh water and wiped his head and then washed his feet till he cleaned them.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: When anyone wipes himself with pebbles (after answering the call of nature) he must make use of an odd number and when any one of you performs ablution he must snuff in his nose water and then clean it.

Hammam bin Munabbih reported: This is what Abu Hurairah (RA) transmitted to us from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , and he mentioned a number of a hadith, of which this is one: that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: When anyone amongst you (performs ablution) he must snuff his nostrils with water and then clean them.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace he upon him) said: When anyone performs ablution he must clean his nose and when anyone wipes himself with pebbles (after answering the call of nature) he must do that odd number of times.

It has been transmitted by Abu Hurairah (RA) and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (both of them the reputed Companions of the Holy Prophet) that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said like that.
