Sayyiduna Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on a journey one night. He asked, "Do you have water?" I replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) dismounted from his ride and walked on until he disappeared in the darkness of the night. Then he returned, and I gave him water from a vessel to use. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) washed his face and his hands. He was wearing a woolen cloak, the sleeves of which were difficult for him to roll up, so he brought his hands out from under the cloak and washed his arms up to the elbows. Then he wiped over his head. I moved forward to remove the Prophet’s (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) leather socks, but he said, "Leave them; I put them on after purification." So he wiped over them.
