"عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ أَكَلَ طَعَامًا ثُمَّ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَقَدْ كَانَ تَوَضَّأَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأتَيْتُهُ بِمَاءٍ لِيتَوَضَّأَ فَانْتَهَرَنِى، وَقَالَ لِى: وَرَاكَ، فَسَاءَنِى وَالله ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: إِنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ قَدْ شَقَّ عَلَيْهِ

اِنْتِهَارُكَ إِيَّاهُ، خَشِىَ أَنْ يَكُونَ في نَفْسِكَ عَليْهِ شَىْءٌ، فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ في نَفْسِى عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرٌ، وَلَكِنَّهُ أَتَانِى بِمَاءٍ لأَتَوَضَّأَ، وَإِنَّمَا أَكَلْتُ طَعَامًا، وَلَوْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَعَلَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ بَعْدِى".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ate food, then the prayer was established. He stood up and had already performed ablution before that. So, I came to him with water for him to perform ablution from it. He scolded me and said, "You are behind (meaning, you are late)." Then he performed the prayer. I complained about this to Umar, and he said, "O Prophet of Allah, Al-Mughirah had hard time because of your scolding and he feared that there might be something wrong with you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is nothing wrong with me except good. But he came to me with water for me to perform ablution. Indeed, I had just eaten food. If I had done that, people would have followed suit after me."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ate some food, and then the prayer was established. He stood up and had already performed ablution before that. I brought him water to perform ablution, but he refused and reprimanded me. Swearing by Allah, that hurt me, so I complained to Umar. Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah, the Messenger of Allah Muhammad, the son of Shu'ba, has been hard on you for declining his offer, and he fears there might be something wrong with you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is nothing wrong with me except good, but he brought me the water to perform ablution, and I had already eaten. If I had accepted, people would have followed suit after me."
