Ibrahim states that eight companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed masah (wiping) over the leather socks. They are: Hazrat Umar bin Khattab, Hazrat Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas, Hazrat Ibn Mas’ud, Hazrat Abu Mas’ud Ansari, Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him), Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu’bah, and Hazrat Bara’ bin Azib. (These are seven in total; in one version, Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is also mentioned, thus making the number complete to eight.)
