My father saw 'Amr bin Abi Hasan asking 'Abdullah bin Zaid about the ablution of
the Prophet. 'Abdullah bin Zaid asked for earthen-ware pot containing water and
in front of them performed ablution like that of the Prophet . He poured water
from the pot over his hand and washed his hands thrice and then he put his hands
in the pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and
then blowing it out with three handfuls of water. Again he put his hand in the
water and washed his face thrice and washed his forearms up to the elbows twice;
and then put his hands in the water and then passed them over his head by
bringing them to the front and then to the rear of the head once, and then he
washed his feet up to the ankles.

Narrated Abu Juhaifa:
Allah's Apostle came to us at noon and water for ablution was brought to him.
After he had performed ablution, the remaining water was taken by the people and
they started smearing their bodies with it (as a blessed thing). The Prophet
offered two Rakat of the Zuhr prayer and then two Rakat of the 'Asr prayer while
an 'Anza (spear-headed stick) was there (as a Sutra) in front of him. Abu Musa
said: The Prophet asked for a tumbler containing water and washed both his hands
and face in it and then threw a mouthful of water in the tumbler and said to
both of us (Abu Musa and Bilal), "Drink from the tumbler and pour some of its
water on your faces and chests."

the remaining water. I stood behind him and saw the seal of Prophethood between
his shoulders, and it was like the "Zir-al-Hijla" (means the button of a small
tent, but some said 'egg of a partridge.' etc.)

two men, and his legs were dragging on the ground, between 'Abbas, and another
man." 'Ubaid-Ullah (the sub narrator) said, "I informed 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas of
what'Aisha said. Ibn 'Abbas said: 'Do you know who was the other man?' I replied
in the negative. Ibn 'Abbas said, 'He was 'Ali (bin Abi Talib)." 'Aisha further
said, "When the Prophet came to my house and his sickness became aggravated he
ordered us to pour seven skins full of water on him, so that he might give some
advice to the people. So he was seated in a Mikhdab (brass tub) belonging to

from the water skins till he beckoned to us to stop and that we have done (what
he wanted us to do). After that he went out to the people."
