Home Hadith Hadith 258
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) took the bath of Janaba (sexual relation or wet dream) he asked for the Hilab or
some other scent. He used to take it in his hand, rub it first over the right side of his head and then
over the left and then rub the middle of his head with both hands.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 5, Hadith 11
← Previous Hadith
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.

with water, rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and blowing it out, washed his
face and poured water on his head. He withdrew from that place and washed his feet. A piece of cloth
(towel) was given to him but he did not use it.
