It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey one night when he said:“Do you have any water with you?”I said: Yes. He dismounted from his mount and walked away until, in the darkness of the night, he became hidden from me. Then he returned, and I poured water for him from a small bucket. He washed his hands and face. He was wearing a woolen cloak, so he could not take his hands out from the sleeves; he brought his hands out from underneath, then washed his elbows, and wiped over his head. Then I bent down to remove his leather socks, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Leave them, for I put them on in a state of purity.”So he wiped over them (both socks).
