Hammam bin Harith narrates that Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) wiped over his socks while performing ablution after urinating. He was asked about this: Do you do this? He replied: Why should I not do it? I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) doing it. Ibrahim Nakha'i says that people liked this narration transmitted by Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) very much, because he had accepted Islam after Surah Al-Ma'idah was revealed (and in Surah Al-Ma'idah, washing the feet during ablution is commanded).

Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wiped over his socks and shoes while performing ablution. The narrator Abu Qais Awdi’s name is Abdur Rahman bin Tharwan.

Sayyiduna Aws bin Abu Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw my father wiping over his shoes while performing ablution. I objected to his action and said: Are you wiping over your shoes? He replied: I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over them.

Nazzal bin Sabrah narrates: I performed the Zuhr prayer behind Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), then he proceeded to the gathering which he used to hold in the open field. He sat there and we sat around him until the time for Asr prayer arrived. Then a vessel was brought in which there was water. He took a handful of water from it, rinsed his mouth and put water in his nose, wiped his face and both arms, wiped his head, and wiped both his feet. Then he stood up and drank the remaining water. Then he said this statement: I have been informed that some people dislike that one of them stands and drinks water, whereas I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) doing as I have done, and this is the ablution of a person who has not lost his previous ablution (i.e., whose previous ablution is still valid).

Nazzal bin Sabrah narrates: We performed the Zuhr prayer behind Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), then we came out to the open field. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) called for a vessel in which there was water. He took it, rinsed his mouth, put water in his nose, wiped his face, both arms, his head, and both feet. Then he drank the remaining water while standing. Then he said: Some people dislike drinking water while standing, whereas the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did as I have done, and this is the ablution of a person who has not lost his previous ablution.

Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wiped over his forehead and his turban, and he wiped over his leather socks.

Ja'far bin Amr bin Umayyah al-Damri narrates from his father that he saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performing ablution and wiping over his turban and leather socks.

Abu Muslim narrates: I was with Sayyiduna Salman al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him). He saw a man who had become without wudu, and as he was about to remove his socks to perform wudu, Sayyiduna Salman said to him: Wipe over them (the socks) and over your turban, for I have seen the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over his cloak and his socks.

Abu Muslim narrates this statement of Sayyiduna Salman al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him): I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over his leather socks and turban while performing ablution.

Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wiped over his forehead and his turban while performing ablution. The narrator named Bakr bin Abdullah states: I have also heard this narration from the son of Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him). (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) These words,“He wiped over his forehead and his turban,”have caused confusion for the one who does not have expertise in the science of hadith, and he believes that it is not permissible to wipe over the turban without wiping the forehead. This person has considered the narration transmitted from Amr bin Umayyah as an explanatory narration for this hadith. That is, the narration in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wiped over his turban along with his forehead takes precedence over the narration in which only the forehead is mentioned apart from the turban, because the forehead is part of the head. However, by the grace and mercy of Allah, this is not the case; rather, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wiped over his head during ablution, and he also wiped over his turban without wiping the forehead, and he wiped over both the forehead and the turban. So these are three separate incidents on three different occasions. One may act upon any one of these Sunnahs, and it is not necessary to make one Sunnah obligatory and consider acting upon the other as disliked.
