Sahih al-Bukhari 257 (Book 5, Hadith 10) #257
The Prophet's Method of Bathing

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) demonstrated a method of bathing that includes washing hands, private parts, mouth, nose, face and arms before pouring water over the body and then washing feet.

Narrated Maimuna: I placed water for the bath of the Prophet. He washed his hands twice or thrice and then poured water on his left hand and washed his private parts. He rubbed his hands over the earth (and cleaned them), rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and blowing it out, washed his face and both forearms and then poured water over his body. Then he withdrew from that place and washed his feet.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ مَاءً لِلْغُسْلِ، فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا، ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ مَذَاكِيرَهُ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ بِالأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ، ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrated by Maimuna describes the method of bathing as practiced by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is important to note that this is not just a physical act but also has spiritual significance. Firstly, one must wash their hands twice or thrice before proceeding to wash their private parts. Then they must rub their hands on the ground to clean them and rinse their mouth and nose with water. After this they should wash their face and both forearms before pouring water over the body in order to perform ghusl or wudu'. Finally they should withdraw from that place and wash their feet. This hadith teaches us about cleanliness which is an important part of Islamic faith as well as being beneficial for our physical health. It also shows us how we can perform rituals such as ghusl or wudu' in an efficient manner while still adhering to Islamic teachings.
