[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell behind us in a journey that we were traveling. He caught up with us while we were burdened by the prayer of Asr, and we were performing ablution. So, we wiped over our feet and he called out in a loud voice, twice or thrice, "Woe to the heels from the Hellfire!"

تَخَلَّفَ عَنَّا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفْرَةٍ سَافَرْنَاهَا قَالَ وَأَدْرَكَنَا وَقَدْ أَرْهَقَتْنَا الصَّلَاةُ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ وَنَحْنُ نَتَوَضَّأُ فَجَعَلْنَا نَمْسَحُ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا فَنَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ
