It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid bin Asim (may Allah be pleased with him), who had the honor of companionship, that someone said to him: "Show us how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution." So he called for a vessel, poured water on his hands three times and washed them, then put his hand into the water and took it out, and with a single handful rinsed his mouth and sniffed water into his nose, and did this three times. Then he put his hand in, took it out, and washed his face. Then he put his hand in the vessel, took it out, and washed his arms up to and including the elbows twice each. Then he put his hand in the vessel, took it out, and wiped his head in such a way that he moved his hands forward and then backward. Then he washed his feet up to the ankles and said: "The ablution of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was like this."
