It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took off his clothes to enter into Ihram and performed ghusl (ritual bath). Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He did this for entering into Ihram (i.e., at the time of donning Ihram or reciting Talbiyah).
