It is narrated from Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Tabuk, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted from his ride and went away to relieve himself. After a short while, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked,“Do you have water?”I brought water to the service of 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) began to roll up the sleeves from 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, and washed his face and hands, wiped over the amount of his head equal to the forehead, wiped over his turban, and wiped over his leather socks, and mounted 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 to inform him, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped me, and we performed the rak’ah that we caught, and completed what we had missed (after the salam). After finishing the prayer, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“You did well.”The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, he said: Ibn Shihab narrated to me, from Isma'il ibn Muhammad ibn Sa'd, from Hamza ibn al-Mughira, similar to the hadith of 'Abbad: al-Mughira said: And I wanted to delay 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, but the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Leave him."

It is narrated from Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me,“Do you have water?”I replied,“Yes!”Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted from his ride and went away 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 I presented water to 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 garment, 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. Thus, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took both hands out from underneath, and washed his face and hands, wiped over the portion of his head equal to the forehead, wiped over his turban, and wiped over his turban again. Then, when I reached out to remove his leather socks, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Leave them; I put them on in a state of ablution.”Thus, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped over them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mughira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once performed ablution and wiped over both the upper and lower parts of his socks.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mughira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand (in prayer) for such a long time that his blessed feet would swell. People would say, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Allah Almighty has forgiven all your past and future sins, then why so much effort?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say, "Should I not be a grateful servant?"

Hazrat Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) once wrote a letter to Hazrat Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) asking him to write and send something that he had heard from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He replied that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he used to say: There is no deity except Allah, He is One, He has no partner, sovereignty belongs to Him and all praise is for Him, and He has power over everything.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever cauterizes his body with fire or recites incantations is free from reliance (tawakkul).

It is narrated from Hazrat Mughira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me towards "Najran." The Christians there said to me, "You people recite this verse: 'O sister of Harun' (the people addressed Hazrat Maryam (peace be upon her) in this way upon the miraculous birth of Hazrat Isa without a father), whereas Hazrat Musa (whose elder brother was Hazrat Harun) passed away so long before Hazrat Isa (so how could Hazrat Maryam be his sister?)" When I returned, I mentioned this to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why did you not reply to them that the people of old used to name their children after the Prophets and righteous people."

Ali bin Rabi’ah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) came out of his house and, after ascending the pulpit and praising Allah, said:“What is this wailing in Islam? In fact, an Ansari had passed away and there was wailing over him. I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘Lying upon me is not like lying upon an ordinary person. Beware! Whoever deliberately lies upon me should prepare his abode in Hell.’ I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘The person over whom wailing is done is punished because of that wailing.’”

It is narrated from Hazrat Mughira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A group from my Ummah will always remain dominant over the people, until when Allah's command comes to them, they will still be dominant."
