Mughira bin Shuba reported that he went on the expedition of Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.Mughira said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to relieve himself before the dawn prayer, and I carried a small water vessel with him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to me, I began pouring water from the vessel over his hands, and he washed his hands three times. Then he washed his face. Then he went to pull his cloak back from his forearms, but its sleeves were too narrow, so he slipped his arms inside the cloak and brought them out from underneath. He washed his arms up to the elbows, then wiped over his leather socks, and then set off."Mughira continued, "I went along with him until we found that the people had put Abdul-Rahman bin Awf forward to lead them in prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught one of the two units of prayer."Abdul-Razzaq and Ibn Bakr said, "He prayed the second unit with the people. When Abdul-Rahman gave the closing salam, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to complete his prayer. This alarmed the Muslims and they began saying 'Subhan Allah' repeatedly. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he turned to them and said, 'You have done well,' or 'You have done the right thing,' expressing admiration that they had performed the prayer at its proper time."
