Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Najashi (the King of Abyssinia) sent two black socks as a gift to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace be upon him) wore them, then performed ablution and wiped over them.

Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that Sayyiduna Dihyah (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) two socks as a gift, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore them. Isra’il narrated this hadith from Jabir, who narrated from ‘Amir, that he (Dihyah) also sent a cloak along with the socks, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore them until they became torn. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not know whether they were made from the skin of a slaughtered animal or from that of an unslaughtered one. Imam Abu ‘Isa al-Tirmidhi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: By Abu Ishaq is meant Abu Ishaq Shaybani, and his name is Sulayman.
