[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on a journey, and Al-Mughira was on that journey. He said, "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went one day for his need, and I followed his trail with a container of water. I cleared the path for him, so he performed ablution and wiped over his socks."  

الطبراني:١٨٢٧٨حَدَّثَنَا الْمِقْدَامُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ثَنَا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ حَدَّثَنِي شَرِيكُ بْنُ أَبِي نَمِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي السَّائِبِ مَوْلَى هِشَامِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَالْمُغِيرَةُ كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ السَّفَرِ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا لِحَاجَتِهِ فَاتَّبَعْتُ أَثَرَهُ بِإِدَاوَةِ مَاءٍ فَنَفَرْتُ لَهُ الطَّرِيقَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ
