Sunan an-Nasa'i — Hadith #20525

(a) Muhammad ibn Mansur (may Allah be pleased with him) ... Narrated Mughirah ibn Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him): I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on a journey. He said to me: O Mughirah! Stay behind and (he said to the people), "O people! Keep moving." I stayed behind (the caravan) and I had a container of water with me. The people left. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to relieve himself. When he returned, I kept pouring water on him (for ablution). He was wearing a thick-sleeved robe. He wanted to take out his hand but could not because the sleeves were too thin. So he took out his hand from under the robe. Then he washed his face and hands and wiped his head and socks. Sahih. [The above hadith is narrated by al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him)] 125 (b) It was narrated from al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wiped over his socks and shoes. Abu Abdur Rahman said: We do not know of anyone who followed Abu Qais in this narration. The correct narration from al-Mugheerah is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wiped over his socks. Sahih, Ibn Majah, 559, Irwa'ul Galil, 101.
