Chapter 5 · Bathing (Ghusl)الْوُضُوءِ قَبْلَ الْغُسْلِ
Ablution before the ritual bath (ghusl)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ بَدَأَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلاَةِ، ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ، فَيُخَلِّلُ بِهَا أُصُولَ شَعَرِهِ ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ غُرَفٍ بِيَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ الْمَاءَ عَلَى جِلْدِهِ كُلِّهِ.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
Translation
Aishah reported that when the Prophet ﷺ performed the ritual bath (ghusl) because of janabah, he would begin by washing his hands. Then he would perform ablution (wudu) as he did for the prayer. Then he would put his fingers into the water and run them through the roots of his hair. Then he would pour three handfuls (of water) over his head with his hands. Then he would let the water flow over his entire skin.
Translator’s note: Janabah: the state of major ritual impurity, e.g. after intercourse or ejaculation.

Aischa berichtete, dass der Prophet ﷺ, wenn er die Ganzkörperwaschung wegen der Dschanaba vollzog, damit begann, seine Hände zu waschen. Dann vollzog er die Gebetswaschung, wie er sie für das Gebet vollzog. Dann tauchte er seine Finger ins Wasser und fuhr damit durch die Wurzeln seines Haares. Dann goss er mit seinen Händen drei Handvoll (Wasser) über seinen Kopf. Dann ließ er das Wasser über seine ganze Haut fließen.
Translator’s note: Dschanaba: der Zustand großer ritueller Unreinheit, etwa nach Geschlechtsverkehr oder Samenerguss.

Translator’s note: Cenâbet: cinsel ilişki veya meni gelmesi gibi sebeplerle oluşan büyük hades hâli.
