English Translation

Ishaq ibn Yusuf told us, Zakariyya ibn Abi Za'idah told us, from al-Sha'bi, from Urwah ibn al-Mughirah, from his father, who said: I was with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, one night on a journey. He said, "Do you have water?" I said, "Yes." He got down from his mount and walked until he disappeared from me in the darkness of night, then came back, and I poured water for him from the water-skin. He washed his face — he was wearing a woolen cloak with tight sleeves and could not bring his forearms out of it, so he brought them out from beneath the cloak — and he washed his forearms and wiped his head. Then I bent down to remove his leather socks, but he said, "Leave them, for I put them on while my feet were pure," and he wiped over them.
