This hadith is narrated by Abu Kuraib. Ibn Numair and others, all on the authority of Hisham with the same chain of transmitters, but in their narration these words are not there: "washed his feet."

Hisham narrated it from his father, who narrated it on the authority of 'A'isha that when the Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took a bath because of sexual intercourse, he first washed the palms of his hands three times, and then the whole hadith was transmitted like that based on the authority of Abu Mu'awyia, but no mention is made of the washing of feet.

'Urwa has narrated it on the authority of 'A'isha that when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took a bath because of sexual intercourse, he first washed his hands before dipping one of them into the basin, and then performed ablution as is done for prayer.

Ibn 'Abbas reported it on the authority of Maimuna, his mother's sister, that she said: I placed water near the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to take a bath because of sexual intercourse. He washed the palms of his bands twice or thrice and then put his hand In the basin and poured water over his private parts and washed them with his left hand. He then struck his hand against the earth and rubbed it with force and then performed ablution for the prayer and then poured three handfuls of water on his head and then washed his whole body after which he moved aside from that place and washed his feet, and then I brought a towel (so that he may wipe his body), but he returned it.

This hadith is narrated by A'mash with the same chain of transmitters, but in the hadith narrated by both of them (Waki' and Abu Mu'awyia) there is no mention of: " Pouring of three handfuls of water on the head." and in the hadith narrated by Waki' all the features of ablution have been recorded: rinsing (of mouth), snuffing of water (in the nostrils) ; and in the hadith transmitted by Abu Mu'awyia, there is no mention of a towel.

Ibn Abbas (RA) narrated It on the authority of Maimuna that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was given a towel, but he did not rub (his body) with it, but he did like this with water, i. e. he shook it off.

'A'isha reported: When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took a bath because of sexual intercourse, he called for a vessel and took a handful of water from it and first (washed) the right side of his head, then left, and then took a handful (of water) and poured it on his head.

'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) washed himself with water from a vessel (measuring seven to eight seers) because of sexual intercourse.

'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took a bath from the vessel (which contained seven to eight seers, i. e. fifteen to sixteen pounds) of water And I and he (the Holy Prophet) took a bath from the same vessel. And in the hadith narrated by Sufyan the words are: "from one vessel". Qutaiba said: Sufyan said: Al-Faraq is three Sa' (a cubic measuring of varying magnitude).

Abu Salamab. 'Abdul Rahman reported: I along with the foster brother of 'A'isha went to her and he asked about the bath of the Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) because of sexual intercourse. She called for a vessel equal to a Sa' and she took a bath. and there was a curtain between us and her. She poured water on her head thrice and he (Abu Salama) said: The wives of the Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) trimmed the hair on their heads so that these lopped up to ears (and did not go beyond that).
