Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to perform ghusl (ritual bath) after janabah, a vessel of water would be placed for him. He would wash his hands before putting them into the water. After washing his hands, he would insert his right hand into the vessel. With his right hand, he would take water and clean his private parts with his left hand. Then, pouring water from his right hand onto his left hand, he would wash it. Then he would rinse his mouth and nose three times each, then take both hands full of water and pour it over his head three times, and then wash his entire body.
