باب الوضوء

Bulugh al-Maram 35

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Zaid bin ‘Aasim (May Allah be pleased with him) describing the nature of ablution performance

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) wiped his head from the forehead to the back of his head and then back to the forehead with his (wet) hands. [ Agreed upon ].

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- ‏-فِي صِفَةِ اَلْوُضُوءِ‏- قَالَ: { وَمَسَحَ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-بِرَأْسِهِ, فَأَقْبَلَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَأَدْبَرَ.‏ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 35

In another narration by al-Bukhari and Muslim

"He started with the front of his head, moved them (his hands) to the nape of his neck, and then returned them to the place where he started."

وَفِي لَفْظٍ: { بَدَأَ بِمُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ, حَتَّى ذَهَبَ بِهِمَا إِلَى قَفَاهُ, ثُمَّ رَدَّهُمَا إِلَى اَلْمَكَانِ اَلَّذِي بَدَأَ مِنْهُ } 1‏ .‏
