Sunan an-Nasai 125 (Book 1, Hadith 125) #14731
Washing Hands in Difficult Situations

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) was on a journey and he asked Mughirah to stay back while the others went ahead. When the Prophet (PBUH) returned, Mughirah poured water for him to wash his hands but his sleeves were too tight so he washed his head instead.

Hamzah bin Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (narrated) that his father said: "I was with the Prophet on a journey, and he said: 'Stay back O Mughirah! Go ahead, O people!' So I went back, and I had with me a vessel of water. The people went ahead, and there the Messenger of Allah relieved himself. when he came back I went and poured water for him. He was wearing a Roman Jubbah with narrow sleeves, and he wanted to expose his hands (to wash them) but the sleeves were too tight, so he brought his hands out from beneath the Jubbah and washed his head, and wiped over his Khuffs".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَمْزَةَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ فِي سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ تَخَلَّفْ يَا مُغِيرَةُ وَامْضُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَتَخَلَّفْتُ وَمَعِي إِدَاوَةٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ وَمَضَى النَّاسُ فَذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِحَاجَتِهِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ ذَهَبْتُ أَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ رُومِيَّةٌ ضَيِّقَةُ الْكُمَّيْنِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ يَدَهُ مِنْهَا فَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْجُبَّةِ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) dealt with a difficult situation while on a journey.

This hadith teaches us that even in difficult situations we should still strive to do our best and follow Islamic teachings as much as possible. It also shows us that we should be prepared for any situation by having all necessary items with us such as water or other items needed for prayer or ablution. Furthermore, it teaches us that if something is not possible due to certain circumstances then there are other ways of doing it such as wiping over one's khuffs instead of washing one's hands in this case.
