It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on a journey. We reached a watering place, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Jabir, why don't you get down at the watering place?" I replied in the affirmative. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) got down and I went to the watering place. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to relieve himself, and I brought water for his ablution and kept it ready. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came back and performed ablution. Then he stood up and prayed in a single garment, whose two ends he threw over his shoulders from opposite sides. I came and stood behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took hold of my ear and made me stand on his right side.
