Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "I set out from Syria for Madinah Munawwarah on a Friday and reached Madinah Munawwarah on the same Friday. I presented myself before Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and he inquired: 'Since when have you been wearing these leather socks (khuffain) on your feet?' I replied: 'Since last Friday.' He asked: 'Did you take them off?' I replied: 'No!' So he said: 'You have acted according to the Sunnah.'" Shaykh Abu Bakr says that this hadith is ghareeb (rare). Shaykh Abu al-Hasan says that its chain of narration is authentic.

Nafi' reports regarding Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that: "He did not specify a time limit for wiping over the leather socks (khuffs)."

Zirr bin Hubaish narrates that I presented myself before Sayyiduna Safwan bin Assal (may Allah be pleased with him). He inquired: "Why have you come?" I replied: "I have come to seek knowledge." So he said: "I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever leaves his house to seek knowledge, the angels, being pleased with his action, spread their wings for him." Zirr said: "I have come to ask about wiping over leather socks (khuffs)." So he replied: "I was part of the army which the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent on an expedition, and he instructed us that you may wipe over your leather socks for three days during travel and for one day and one night during residence, provided that you put them on while in a state of ablution, and we should not remove them when performing ablution after urinating, defecating, or sleeping; we would only remove them in the state of major ritual impurity (janabah)." Sayyiduna Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) also mentioned: "I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that in the west there is a door which is open for repentance, its width is the distance of seventy years' travel. It will not be closed until the sun rises from that direction."

Ali bin Ibrahim narrates that I heard Shaykh Abu Bakr bin Khuzaymah saying: "I mentioned the narration of 'Abdur Razzaq to Imam Muzani, so he said to me: Our companions have also narrated this, because Imam Shafi'i has no more authentic evidence than this." The author says: That is, the words of the narration: "When we have inserted them into them while in a state of ablution."

Urwah bin Mughirah narrates from his father that he said: "O Messenger of Allah! Can any one of us wipe over his leather socks?" So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "When he has put them on while in a state of ablution."

Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed us during the expedition of Tabuk regarding wiping over the leather socks: "For a traveler, three days and three nights, and for a resident, one day and one night."

‘Ubadah bin Nasa’i, from Abi who is Ibn ‘Ammarah, narrates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed prayer in the house of Sayyiduna ‘Ammarah facing both Qiblahs. He (‘Ammarah) asked:“O Messenger of Allah! May I wipe over my leather socks (khuffs)?”The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied:“Yes.”He asked:“O Messenger of Allah! For one day?”The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied:“Yes, you may.”He asked:“O Messenger of Allah! For two days?”The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied:“Yes, you may.”And for three days as well. He asked:“O Messenger of Allah! Even for three days?”He continued asking until he reached seven days. So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“As much as you find suitable.”Its chain is not established. There is disagreement regarding the narration from Yahya bin Ayyub, which I have mentioned elsewhere. The narrators of this narration—‘Abdur Rahman, Muhammad bin Yazid, and Ayyub bin Qahtan—are all unknown. And Allah knows best.

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he presented himself before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on the occasion of the conquest of Damascus. He says: "I was wearing leather socks (khuffs)." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) inquired: "O Uqbah! How many days has it been since you last removed your khuffs?" Then I remembered: "I have been wearing them from the previous Friday until this Friday." I replied: "For eight days." So he said: "You have done right and acted according to the Sunnah."
