[Machine] To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I said, "Do you have any water?" He said, "Yes." So, he descended from his ride and walked until he disappeared from my sight. When he came back, I handed him the container of water. He performed ablution, washed his hands and face, and there was a narrow garment with short sleeves on him. He pulled out his hand from under the garment and washed his arms and wiped his head. Then, I intended to remove his shoes, but he said, "Leave them, for I have put them on while they are still pure." So, he wiped over his shoes.

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَعَكَ مَاءٌ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَنَزَلَ عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ ثُمَّ مَشَى حَتَّى تَوَارَى عَنِّي فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ اسْتَقْبَلْتُهُ بِالْمِطْهَرَةِ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَكَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ شَامِيَّةٌ ضَيِّقَةُ الْيَدَيْنِ فَأَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْجُبَّةِ وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ أَهْوَيْتُ إِلَى خُفَّيْهِ لِأَنْزِعَهُمَا فَقَالَ «دَعْهُمَا فَإِنِّي أَدْخَلْتُهُمَا وَهُمَا طَاهِرَتَانِ» فَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ

bukhari:5799Abū Nuʿaym > Zakariyyāʾ > ʿĀmir > ʿUrwah b. al-Mughīrah from his father

One night I was with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. He asked (me), "Have you got water with you?" I replied, "Yes" So he got down from his she-camel and went away till he disappeared in the darkness of the night. Then he came back and I poured water for him from the pot (for the ablution). He washed his face and hands while he was wearing a woollen cloak (the sleeves of which were narrow), so he could not take his arms out of it. So he took them out from underneath the cloak. Then he washed his forearms and passed his wet hands over his head. Then I tried to take off his Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather), but he said, "Leave them, for I have performed ablution before putting them on." And so he passed his wet hands over them.

muslim:274fMuḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. Numayr from my father > Zakariyyāʾ > ʿĀmir > ʿUrwah b. al-Mughīrah from his father

I was one night with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. He said to me: Have you any water with you? I said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) came down from his ride and went on till he disappeared in the darkness of night. He then came back and I poured water for him from the jar. He washed his face, He had a woollen gown on him and he could not bring out his forearms from it (i. e. from its sleeves) and consequently he brought them out from under his gown. He washed his forearms, wiped over his head. I then bent down to take off his socks. But he said: Leave them, for my feet were clean when I put them in, and he only wiped over them.

ahmad:18235Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Zakariyyā > ʿĀmir > ʿUrwah b. al-Mughīrah from his father

[Machine] I was with the Prophet (PBUH) one night during a journey, and he asked me, "Do you have water with you?" I replied, "Yes." He then dismounted from his riding animal and went away from me until he disappeared into the darkness of the night. He had a cloak on him, so he took out his hands but was unable to take them out from the sleeves. He then took out his hands from under the cloak, washed his hands, wiped his head, and then I intended to remove his shoes. He told me, "Leave them, for I have put them on while they were clean."
