Sahih Muslim 273a (Book 2, Hadith 91) #7795
Performing Ablution While Standing and Wiping Over Socks

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) demonstrated how to perform ablution while standing and wiping over the socks.

Hudhaifa reported: I was with the Messenger of Allah when he came to the dumping ground of filth belonging to a particular tribe. He urinated while standing, and I went aside. He (the Holy Prophet) asked me to come near him and I went so near to him that I stood behind his heels. He then performed ablution and wiped over his socks.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ فَانْتَهَى إِلَى سُبَاطَةِ قَوْمٍ فَبَالَ قَائِمًا فَتَنَحَّيْتُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ ادْنُهْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَدَنَوْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ عِنْدَ عَقِبَيْهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's demonstration of how to perform ablution while standing and wiping over the socks. It is narrated by Hudhaifa, who was with the Prophet when he went to a dumping ground of filth belonging to a particular tribe. The Prophet urinated while standing, and Hudhaifa went aside. He then asked him to come near him, so he stood behind his heels. After that, he performed ablution and wiped over his socks instead of taking them off for washing his feet as part of the ritual cleansing process known as wudu or ablution in Islam. This hadith teaches us that it is permissible in Islam for one to perform wudu while standing up and wiping over their socks instead of taking them off if they are clean enough for prayer or other religious activities. It also shows us that we should be respectful when performing our religious duties even in public places like dumpsites or other areas where people may not be expecting it.
