Ibn 'Abbas narrated that his maternal aunt Maimunah said: "I put out some water for the Prophet to take a bath, and he bathe to cleanse himself from impurity following sexual activity. He tilted the vessel with his left hand, pouring water into his right, and washed his hands three times. Then he poured water over his private parts, then he rubbed his hands on the ground. Then he rinsed his mouth and nose, and washed his face three times and his forearms three times. Then he poured water over the rest of his body, then he moved aside and washed his feet."
