Washing The Mouth

In the hadeeth of ‘Amr ibn Yahyaa (رضي الله عنه) he said:
And he washed his mouth and nose using three handfuls of water.
[Muslim, 3/123].
Al-Imam an-Nawawi says: And in this hadeeth is a clear proof for the correct opinion that the sunnah in washing the mouth and nose is that it should be with three handfuls of water – washing the mouth and nose [together] with each of them.
In the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (رضي الله عنها) in which she describes the Wudoo’ of the Prophet (ﷺ) that he said When you make Wudoo’ then wash your mouth. [Al-Baihaqi says: ‘Its isnaad is saheeh.’ And it contains an addition to the previous hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah in Abu Dawood, no.l43].
