How to Perform Ablution According to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) ablution and how he performed it.

Habban b. Wasi’ reported on the authority of his father who heard 'Abd Allah b. Zaid al-Asim al-Mazini say that he saw the Messenger of Allah performing ablution. He then described his ablution saying: He wiped his head with water which was not what was left over after washing his hands (ie he wiped his head with clean water); then he washed his feet until he cleansed them.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ حَبَّانَ بْنَ وَاسِعٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ الْمَازِنِيَّ، يَذْكُرُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرَ وُضُوءَهُ وَقَالَ وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِمَاءٍ غَيْرِ فَضْلِ يَدَيْهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَنْقَاهُمَا
