Al-Mughirah bin Shubah reported: I was in the company of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in the expedition of Tabuk. He abandoned the main road before the dawn prayer, and I also did the same along with him. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم made his camel kneel down and (went to ) relieve himself. He then came back and I poured water upon his hands from the skin-vessel. He then washed his hands and face. He tried to get his forearms out (of the gown), but the sleeves of the gown were too narrow, so he entered back both his hands, and brought them out from beneath the gown. He washed his forearms up to the elbows and wiped his head and wiped over his socks. 80 He then mounted (his camel) and we began to proceed until we found people offering the prayer. They brought forward Abdur-Rahman bin Awf who was leading them in prayer. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stood in the row side by side with other Muslims. He performed the second rak’ah of the prayer behind Abdur-Rahman bin Awf. Then Abdur-Rahman uttered salutation. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stood to perform the remaining rak’ah of the prayer. The Muslims were alarmed. They began to utter tasbih (Subhan Allah) presuming that they had offered prayer before the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had done. When he uttered the salutation (i. e. finished his prayer), he said: You were right, or (he said) you did well.
