Sunan an-Nasai 161 (Book 1, Hadith 162) #14768
The Importance of Handwashing

SUMMARY: Washing hands three times before eating is important to maintain hygiene.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "When any one of you wakes from sleep, let him not put his hand into the vessel until he has washed it three times, because he does not know where his hand spent the night".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ فَلاَ يُدْخِلْ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ حَتَّى يُفْرِغَ عَلَيْهَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of washing one's hands before eating. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Prophet Muhammad said that when someone wakes up from sleep they should not put their hand into a vessel until they have washed it three times. This is because one does not know where their hand has been while sleeping and thus it is important to wash it in order to maintain hygiene and cleanliness. It is also a reminder for us to be mindful of our actions and take care of our health by following simple practices such as washing our hands regularly.
