Sahih al-Bukhari 363 (Book 8, Hadith 15) #359
Performing Ablution for Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was travelling with Mughira bin Shu'ba and asked him to take a container of water. He then performed ablution for prayer and passed his wet hands over his Khuff.

Narrated Mughira bin Shu'ba: Once I was traveling with the Prophet and he said, "O Mughira! take this container of water". I took it and Allah's Messenger went far away till he disappeared. He answered the call of nature and was wearing a Syrian cloak. He tried to take out his hands from its sleeve but it was very tight so he took out his hands from under it. I poured water and he performed ablution like that for prayers and passed his wet hands over his Khuff (socks made from thick fabric or leather) and then prayed .
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ فِي سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ يَا مُغِيرَةُ، خُذِ الإِدَاوَةَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَتَّى تَوَارَى عَنِّي فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ، وَعَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ شَأْمِيَّةٌ، فَذَهَبَ لِيُخْرِجَ يَدَهُ مِنْ كُمِّهَا فَضَاقَتْ، فَأَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا، فَصَبَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ، وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ journey with Mughira bin Shu'ba. During the journey, he asked him to take a container of water so that he could perform ablution for prayer. After performing ablution, he passed his wet hands over his Khuff which are socks made from thick fabric or leather. This hadith teaches us the importance of performing ablutions before prayers as it is one of the essential components in Islam and also shows us how we should be mindful when wearing clothes that have tight sleeves as it can be difficult to remove them quickly when needed.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us to be mindful of our environment by not wasting any resources such as water which is why he asked Mughira bin Shu'ba to bring a container of water instead of using too much from one source. We can learn from this hadith that we should always strive to conserve resources whenever possible and use them wisely in our daily lives.
