Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). In the morning, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) knocked on the door of my tent. I understood that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to go to relieve himself, so I set out with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until we walked far away from the people. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted from his ride and went to relieve himself and disappeared from my sight; now I could not see the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). After a little while, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned and said, “Do you have water?” I replied, “Yes!” and with that, I brought water to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and kept pouring it. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) first washed both hands thoroughly, then washed his face. After that, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) tried to roll up the sleeves of his arms, but the Syrian cloak that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing had tight sleeves, so they could not be rolled up. Therefore, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took both hands out from underneath, washed his face and hands, wiped over the portion of his head equal to the forehead, wiped over his turban, and wiped over his leather socks, and then mounted his ride for the return. When we reached the people, the prayer had already started, and Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) had led one rak’ah and was in the second rak’ah. I started to go and inform him, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped me, and we performed the rak’ah that we caught, and whatever was left, we completed it after the salam.
