It was narrated from Abu Bakr bin Hafs: "I heard Abu Salamah say: 'I entered upon 'Aishah and her foster-brother was with her. He asked her about the Ghusl of the Prophet ﷺ. She called for a vessel in which was a Sa' of water, then she concealed herself and performed Ghusl and poured water over her head three times'."
Ghusl is an Arabic term which means ‘ritual washing’ or ‘full body ablution’ which Muslims must perform after certain activities such as sexual intercourse or menstruation in order to become ritually pure again according to Islamic teachings. There are two types of ablutions; wudu’ which involves washing certain parts such as hands, face and feet while tayammum involves using sand or dust instead if there is no access to water for some reason. Istinja’ on the other hand refers to cleaning oneself after using the toilet with either tissue paper or stones depending on what is available at that time. All these practices are important for Muslims as they help them stay clean both physically and spiritually so they can be closer to Allah SWT through prayer and worshiping Him alone without any distractions from worldly matters around them.
