Sunan an-Nasai 1 (Book 1, Hadith 1) #14607
The Importance of Washing Hands After Waking Up

SUMMARY: Washing hands three times after waking up is important as one does not know where their hands have been during the night.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "When any one of you wakes from sleep, let him not dip his hand in (the water he uses for) his Wudu' until he has washed it three times, for none of you knows where his hand spent the night".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَلاَ يَغْمِسْ يَدَهُ فِي وَضُوئِهِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهَا ثَلاَثًا فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لاَ يَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of washing one's hands after waking up in the morning. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah that Prophet Muhammad said that when a person wakes from sleep they should not dip their hand in water for wudu until they have washed it three times. This is because no one knows where their hand has been during the night and it could be unclean or contaminated with germs and bacteria. Therefore, washing your hands thoroughly is essential to maintain hygiene and cleanliness.
