question #2 Sahih Muslim 316d, Book 3, Hadith 43 : How does the practice of washing hands before ablution reflect on personal hygiene in Islamic teachings?

‘Urwa has narrated it on the authority of ‘A’isha that when Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) took a bath because of sexual intercourse, he first washed his hands before dipping one of them into the basin, and then performed ablu- tion as is done for prayer.
