Washing Hands, Faces, and Chests

SUMMARY: The Prophet taught Abu Musa and Bilal to wash their hands, faces, and chests with water.

وَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى دَعَا النَّبِيُّ بِقَدَحٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ، فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ فِيهِ، وَمَجَّ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمَا اشْرَبَا مِنْهُ، وَأَفْرِغَا عَلَى وُجُوهِكُمَا وَنُحُورِكُمَا‏.‏
