Sayyiduna Mughira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to relieve himself, then he returned, so I poured water on him from a vessel. He washed his face, then he began to bring out his forearms, but the sleeve of the cloak was tight. It was a Roman cloak made of wool. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) brought out his blessed hand from the opening that was near his side. He washed both his arms up to the elbows, wiped his head, and wiped over his leather socks. Then he came, and I was with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) found the people in the state of prayer, so he also stood in the row. Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) was leading them in prayer. We found them in such a state that they had already performed one rak‘ah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed the second rak‘ah behind Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him), and when he finished with salam, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up and completed his prayer. The people became anxious at this, and when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) completed his prayer, he said: "You did the right thing. You did well. When your imam does not come and the time for prayer arrives, then appoint someone to lead you in prayer." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Ja‘far bin Burqan has narrated this chain in a brief form. He did not mention Abbas bin Ziyad in its chain. The reason is that Zuhri heard this narration from Abbas bin Ziyad (may Allah be pleased with him) from ‘Urwah bin Mughira, and he also heard this narration from Hamza bin Mughira from his father. This has been explained in detail by Imam Abu Hatim.
