545. It was narrated from 'Urwah bin Mughirah bin Shu'bah from his father Mughirah bin Shu'bah, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went out to relieve himself, and Mughirah followed him with a vessel of water. When he finished relieving himself, he performed ablution and wiped over his leather socks. (Sahih)

Arabic text

545 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ لِحَاجَتِهِ، فَاتَّبَعَهُ الْمُغِيرَةُ بِإِدَاوَةٍ فِيهَا مَاءٌ، حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ «فَتَوَضَّأَ، وَمَسَحَ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ»

Commentary

The Prophet ﷺ, while intending to ease himself, used to go a long distance to be out of the view of the people (Ibn Mājah: 331-336). Any Companion volunteering to take the water with him used to stop at a distance from the Prophet ﷺ, after which he alone carried the water, and either went far to make himself out of sight, or screened himself behind something.
