Amr bin Yahya narrates from his father: Amr bin Abu Hasan Mazni came to the service of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him). This is Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid bin Asim Mazni (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Amr bin Abu Hasan requested: "Can you show us how the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ablution?" So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Yes!" Then Sayyiduna Abdullah called for a vessel of water, poured water from the vessel onto his right hand and washed his right hand three times, then poured water from the vessel onto both hands and washed both hands three times, then he put both hands into the vessel and took a handful of water, with which he rinsed his mouth and put water into his nose, then he took water in his palm three times and cleaned his nose, then he washed his face three times, washed each arm up to the elbows, then took some water and wiped his head with it, moving his hands from the front to the back, then from the back to the front, then he washed both feet up to the ankles.
