Those scholars have erred in taking evidence from this, who have deemed it permissible to wipe over shoes in the ablution that becomes obligatory due to hadath.

Hazrat Ubaid bin Juraij (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that it was said to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), "We have seen you doing an act which we have not seen anyone else doing." He asked, "What is that?" They replied, "We have seen you wearing these Sabti shoes." He said, "Indeed, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wearing these shoes, performing ablution in them, and wiping over them." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the hadith of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas and Aws bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with them) is also in this chapter.

Ubaid Khair narrates from our master Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked for a vessel of water, then performed a light ablution with it, then wiped over his shoes, then said: The ablution of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for a person who is pure (in a state of ablution) was like this, as long as his ablution is not broken.

Those scholars who do not have deep insight into hadith have erred in taking evidence from them, and they have declared it permissible for a person whose ablution has been invalidated to wipe over both feet.

Ubadah bin Tamim narrates from his father, who says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) performing ablution and wiping over the tops of his feet with water. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the narration of Nafi’ from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is also in this chapter.

Hazrat Nazzal bin Sabrah narrates that we offered the Zuhr prayer with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), then we went towards the courtyard (of the mosque). He says that he (Ali) asked for a water vessel, took that water and rinsed his mouth. Mansur says that I think he said that he put water in his nose and wiped his face, both arms, his head, and both his feet. Then he drank the remaining water while standing. Then he said that some people dislike drinking while standing, but indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did just as I have done. And he said that this is the ablution of a person whose ablution has not been invalidated. These are the words of Zaidah’s narration.

It is narrated from Urwah bin Mughirah bin Shu'bah that he heard his respected father say: When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) performed ablution during the Battle of Tabuk, I poured water over the limbs of ablution of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) wiped over his leather socks.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, you consider the signs (miracles and indications) as punishment, whereas we used to consider them as blessings during the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). We used to eat food with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and would hear the food glorifying Allah. He said that a vessel of water was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand in it, and water began to gush forth from between his fingers. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come towards the blessed water, and the blessing is from Allah, the Exalted." Until all of us performed ablution.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that I saw men and women performing ablution from the same vessel during the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The meaning of all the narrations is the same, and this is the narration of Ibn ‘Ulayyah.
