Musnad Ahmad Hadith 18193

It is narrated from Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). In the morning, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) knocked on the door of my tent. I understood that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) wanted to go to relieve himself, so I set out with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) until we walked far away from the people. Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) dismounted from his ride and went to relieve himself and disappeared from my sight; now I could not see the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). After a little while, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) returned and said, “Do you have water?” I replied, “Yes!” and with that, I brought water to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and kept pouring it. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) first washed both hands thoroughly, then washed his face. After that, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) tried to roll up the sleeves of his arms, but the Syrian cloak that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was wearing had tight sleeves, so they could not be rolled up. Therefore, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) took both hands out from underneath, washed his face and hands, wiped over the portion of his head equal to the forehead, wiped over his turban, and wiped over his leather socks, and then mounted his ride for the return. When we reached the people, the prayer had already started, and 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 and inform him, but the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stopped me, and we performed the rak’ah that we caught, and whatever was left, we completed it after the salam.
