Home Hadith Hadith 191
(on the authority of his father) `Abdullah bin Zaid poured water on his hands from a utensil containing
water and washed them and then with one handful of water he rinsed his mouth and cleaned his nose
by putting water in it and then blowing it out. He repeated it thrice. He, then, washed his hands and
forearms up to the elbows twice and passed wet hands over his head, both forwards and backwards,
and washed his feet up to the ankles and said, "This is the ablution of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)."

My aunt took me to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This son of my sister has got a disease
in his legs." So he passed his hands on my head and prayed for Allah's blessings for me; then he
performed ablution and I drank from 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.)
