أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، - هُوَ ابْنُ سَمَاعَةَ - قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ، سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وَاتَّسَقَتِ الأَحَادِيثُ عَلَى هَذَا يَبْدَأُ فَيُفْرِغُ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى فِي الإِنَاءِ فَيَصُبُّ بِهَا عَلَى فَرْجِهِ وَيَدُهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَرْجِهِ فَيَغْسِلُ مَا هُنَالِكَ حَتَّى يُنْقِيَهُ ثُمَّ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى التُّرَابِ إِنْ شَاءَ ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى حَتَّى يُنْقِيَهَا ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ وَيُمَضْمِضُ وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثَلاَثًا حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ رَأْسَهُ لَمْ يَمْسَحْ وَأَفْرَغَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ فَهَكَذَا كَانَ غُسْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِيمَا ذُكِرَ .
'Imran ibn Yazid ibn Khalid informed us: Isma'il ibn 'Abdullah—he is Ibn Sama'ah—narrated to us: al-Awza'i informed us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salamah, from 'A'ishah; and from 'Amr ibn Sa'd, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, that 'Umar asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about bathing from janabah. The reports agree on this procedure: He begins by pouring water over his right hand two or three times, then puts his right hand into the vessel and pours water over his private parts, with his left hand there, washing what is there until it is clean. Then, if he wishes, he places his left hand on the earth and pours water over it until it is clean. Then he washes both hands three times, rinses his nose and mouth, and washes his face and forearms three times each. When he reaches his head, he does not wipe it but pours water over it. This is how the Messenger of Allah's (ﷺ) ghusl was described.
Translation notes
The Arabic gives a route through 'A'ishah and a second through 'Amr ibn Sa'd, Nafi', and Ibn 'Umar. It states that the reports converge on the following procedure. Optional use of earth to clean the left hand is retained.
أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ،
The English witness omits upper transmitters from the first route and introduces the second route only at 'Amr ibn Sa'd.
Please verify both transmission routes and their relation to the procedure against the Arabic.
