It is narrated from Hazrat Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I assisted the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in performing ablution during a journey. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) washed his face and arms and wiped over his head and his leather socks. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I not remove your socks?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "No, I put them on while I was in a state of ablution, so I did not take them off after that." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Fajr prayer in this manner.
