Sunan Ibn Majah 390 (Book 1, Hadith 124) #29742
The Importance of Cleanliness and Hygiene

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us the importance of cleanliness and hygiene by washing his face, forearms, head, front and back with water three times each.

It was narrated that Rubai' bint Mu'awwidh said: "I brought a basin of water to the Prophet and he said: 'Pour it,' so I poured it and he washed his face and forearms, then he took fresh water and wiped his head, front and back, and then he washed his feet. He washed each part three times".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنِ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذٍ، قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ بِمِيضَأَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اسْكُبِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَسَكَبْتُ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَأَخَذَ مَاءً جَدِيدًا فَمَسَحَ بِهِ رَأْسَهُ مُقَدَّمَهُ وَمُؤَخَّرَهُ وَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثَلاَثًا
