حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَأَهْوَيْتُ لأَنْزِعَ خُفَّيْهِ فَقَالَ: «دَعْهُمَا، فَإِنِّي أَدْخَلْتُهُمَا طَاهِرَتَيْنِ». فَمَسَحَ عَلَيْهِمَا

My father said, “Once I was in the company of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) on a journey and I dashed to take off his Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather). He ordered me to leave them as he had put them after performing ablution. So he passed wet hands over them.”

মুগীরাহ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেনঃ আমি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর সঙ্গে কোন এক সফরে ছিলাম। (উযূ করার সময়) আমি তাঁর মোজা দু’টি খুলতে চাইলে তিনি বললেনঃ ‘ও দু’টো থাক, আমি পবিত্র অবস্থায় ও দু’টি পরেছিলাম’। (এই বলে) তিনি তার উপর মাসেহ করলেন। (১৮২)

ہم سے ابونعیم نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے زکریا نے یحییٰ کے واسطے سے نقل کیا، وہ عامر سے وہ عروہ بن مغیرہ سے، وہ اپنے باپ (مغیرہ) سے روایت کرتے ہیں کہ میں ایک سفر میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ تھا، تو میں نے چاہا ( کہ وضو کرتے وقت ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے موزے اتار ڈالوں۔

آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ انہیں رہنے دو۔ چونکہ جب میں نے انہیں پہنا تھا تو میرے پاؤں پاک تھے۔ ( یعنی میں وضو سے تھا ) پس آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان پر مسح کیا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Nu'aim] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zakaria] dari ['Amir] dari ['Urwah bin Al Mughirah bin Syu'bah] dari [Bapaknya] ia berkata, "Aku pernah bersama Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dalam suatu perjalanan, aku lalu merunduk untuk melepas kedua sepatunya, namun beliau bersabda: "Biarkan saja, karena aku mengenakannya dalam keadaan suci." Dan beliau hanya mengusap sepatunya

Urve İbnü'l-Muğîre babasından şunu rivayet etmiştir: Bir yolculukta Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) ile birlikteydim. Mestlerini çıkarmaya davrandım, ancak bana: "Onları bırak. Çünkü ben ayaklarım temiz olarak ben abdestli iken mestleri giydim" dedi ve mestleri üzerine meshetti

Sahih al-Bukhari 206, Book 4, Ablutions (Wudu'), Hadith 72. 1 min read

What it means

In one of his journeys, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was performing ablution. On reaching the part of washing the feet, Al-Mughīrah ibn Shu‘bah (may Allah be pleased with him) stretched his hands to take off the Prophet's leather socks to wash his feet. However, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Leave them and do not take them off, for I had put them on while being in a state of Tahārah (ritual purity).

Hence, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) wiped over his leather socks instead of washing his feet.

What it teaches

  • The permissibility of wiping over the leather socks when performing ablution from minor Hadath (ritual impurity), but when taking a ritual bath from major Hadath, the feet must be washed.
  • Wiping is done by passing the wet hand once over the surface of the leather sock, not its bottom.
  • The conditions for wiping over leather socks are: wearing them after having performed a complete ablution where the feet are washed with water, the leather socks must be pure and cover the area that must be washed in ablution, wiping over them in case of minor Hadath not in case of Janābah (impurity due to sexual discharge) or what requires a ritual bath, and wiping over them during the period prescribed by Shariah, namely one day and night for the resident and three days and nights for the traveler.
  • What applies to leather socks applies also to all footwear including socks and others. It is permissible to wipe over them.
  • Good moral character of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and his teaching method, as he forbade Al-Mughīrah from taking off his leather socks and told him the reason, that he put them on when his feet were in the state of ritual purity, so that he be reassured and know the ruling.
