Sunan Ibn Majah 574 (Book 1, Hadith 308) #29926
Ritual Bath of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith explains the ritual bath that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to take after sexual impurity and how his wives would wash their braided hair.

Jumai' bin 'Umair At-Taimi said: "I went out with my paternal aunt and maternal aunt and we entered upon 'Aishah. We asked her: 'What did the Messenger of Allah do when he had the bath to cleanse himself from sexual impurity?' She said: 'He used to pour water on his hand three times, then he would put them in the vessel and wash his face three times, then he would pour water over his body, then he would get up and perform prayer. As for us, we would wash our heads five times because of our braided hair'."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جُمَيْعُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ التَّيْمِيُّ، قَالَ انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ عَمَّتِي وَخَالَتِي فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلْنَاهَا كَيْفَ كَانَ يَصْنَعُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ عِنْدَ غُسْلِهِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يُفِيضُ عَلَى كَفَّيْهِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُهَا فِي الإِنَاءِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَإِنَّا نَغْسِلُ رُءُوسَنَا خَمْسَ مِرَارٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ الضَّفْرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the ritual bath, known as ghusl, that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to take after sexual impurity. He would pour water on his hands three times and then wash his face three times. After this he would pour water over his body and then get up to perform prayer. His wives, due to their braided hair, would wash their heads five times instead of just once like him. This hadith emphasizes the importance of cleanliness in Islam and how it is necessary for one's spiritual purity as well as physical hygiene. It also shows us how even though men and women have different obligations in terms of religious practices, they are both equally important in the eyes of Allah SWT.
