Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates regarding the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) wiped over the leather socks (khuffs).

Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to wipe over the leather socks. Abdullah bin Saeed says that «‏‏‏‏حدثني زائدة» ‏‏‏‏ (that is, in his narration, instead of "from," he has explicitly mentioned hearing).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he saw Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) wiping over his leather socks, so (Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) said,“Do you do such an act?”Then both of them went together to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), so Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him),“Give a verdict to my nephew regarding wiping over leather socks.”So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“We used to wipe over our leather socks while being with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and we did not see any harm in it.”So Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked,“Even if he comes after relieving himself from the toilet, can he still wipe over the leather socks?”(Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him) replied,“Yes.”

Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) entered an orchard (garden), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) went to relieve himself. He says that then both of them came out. Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I asked Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), "What did the Prophet (peace be upon him) do (after going inside)?" Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) went to relieve himself, then (after returning) performed ablution, washed his blessed face and his hands, wiped his head, and wiped over his leather socks. Yunus has added in his narration «‏‏‏‏ثم صلي» ‏‏‏‏ "Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed prayer." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that «‏‏‏‏الاسواق» ‏‏‏‏ there is a garden in Madinah Munawwarah. And Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I heard Yunus saying that, regarding wiping over leather socks while resident, there is no other hadith narrated from the Prophet (peace be upon him) except this one.

Hazrat Hammam narrates that I saw Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him), he urinated, then stood and performed prayer. He was asked about this (why he wiped over the socks), so he replied that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) doing the same. This is the narration of San‘ani. The rest of the narrators did not mention the words «‏‏‏‏رأيت جريراً» ‏‏‏‏ "I saw Jarir." Now, in Usama's narration, Ibrahim says that our companions greatly liked the hadith of Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) because he accepted Islam after the revelation of Surah Ma'idah. And in Waki‘’s narration, it is mentioned that they greatly liked the hadith of Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) because he accepted Islam after the revelation of Surah Ma'idah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Zar’ah bin Amr bin Jarir (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) urinated and performed ablution, and wiped over his leather socks (khuffs). So people found fault with him (i.e., they disliked and considered his wiping insufficient). He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over his leather socks. It was said to him: (The wiping of your socks by the Prophet, peace be upon him) was before the revelation of Surah Al-Ma’idah? He replied: Indeed, I embraced Islam only after the revelation of Surah Al-Ma’idah.

Hazrat Hammam narrates from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said, "I embraced Islam forty days before the demise of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped over thick socks and a turban.

And the explanation of the evidence that the concession of wiping over the leather socks is for the person who wore them after performing ablution, and not for the one who wore them without purification, without ablution.

Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I asked,“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), do you wipe over your leather socks?”He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied,“Yes, because I put them on while my feet were in a state of purity.”
