He had a wooden cup with hooks attached to it. He had a
glass cup, too. He had another cup which was kept under his bedstead to be used
for discharging urine during the night. He possessed a small water skin and a
stone jug which he used for performing ablution. There was also a trough for
washing clothes and another trough for washing hands. He had an oil container
