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.

':'Telah menceritakan kepada kami Abu Nu'aim telah menceritakan kepada kami Zakariya dari 'Amir dari 'Urwah bin Al Mughirah dari Ayahnya radliallahu 'anhu dia berkata; 'Pada suatu malam saya bersama Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengadakan suatu perjalanan lalu beliau bersabda: 'Apakah kamu membawa air?' jawabku; 'Ya.' Kemudian beliau turun dari kendaraannya dan berjalan hingga menjauh dariku di gelapnya malam setelah itu beliau kembali dan akupun menuangkan air dari wadah kemudian beliau membasuh wajahnya dan tangannya karena beliau mengenakan jubah dari shuf (bulu domba) beliau tidak dapat mengeluarkan kedua tangan beliau akhirnya beliau mengeluarkannya dari bawah jubahnya kemudian beliau membasuh kedua lengannya dan mengusap kepalanya lalu aku jongkok hendak melepas sepatunya namun beliau bersabda: 'Biarkanlah karena aku mengenakan sepatu tersebut dalam kedaan suci.' Lalu beliau sekedar mengusapnya.''
