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.
