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.
