Sunan an-Nasai 109 (Book 1, Hadith 109) #14715
The Prophet's Wudu' and Salah

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performing Wudu' and offering Salah behind one of his followers.

Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: "There are two things which I never asked anyone about after I saw the Messenger of Allah . He was with us on a journey and he went away to relieve himself, then he came and performed Wudu', and he wiped over his forehead and two sides of his 'Imamah, and he wiped over his Khuffs". He said: "And (the other issue) the Imam's Salah behind one of his followers. I saw the Messenger of Allah when he was on a journey and time for prayer came. The Prophet could not join them, so they called the Iqamah and they asked Ibn 'Awf to lead them in prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah came and offered the remainder of the prayer behind Ibn 'Awf, then when Ibn 'Awf said the Salah, the Prophet stood up and completed what he had missed (of the prayer)".
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ وَهْبٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ خَصْلَتَانِ لاَ أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُمَا أَحَدًا بَعْدَ مَا شَهِدْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - قَالَ - كُنَّا مَعَهُ فِي سَفَرٍ فَبَرَزَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ وَجَانِبَىْ عِمَامَتِهِ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ قَالَ وَصَلاَةُ الإِمَامِ خَلْفَ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ فَشَهِدْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَاحْتَبَسَ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ فَأَقَامُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَقَدَّمُوا ابْنَ عَوْفٍ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَصَلَّى خَلْفَ ابْنِ عَوْفٍ مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ ابْنُ عَوْفٍ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ فَقَضَى مَا سُبِقَ بِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident in which the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was on a journey with his companions. When it was time for prayer, he could not join them so they called the Iqamah and asked Ibn 'Awf to lead them in prayer. The Prophet then came and offered the remainder of the prayer behind Ibn 'Awf. Before this, he went away to relieve himself and then performed Wudhu', wiping over his forehead and two sides of his headgear as well as over his Khuffs. This hadith teaches us that we should always perform our ablutions properly before offering prayers, even when we are on a journey or in a hurry. It also shows us that it is permissible for an Imam to lead prayers even if he is one of the followers himself.
