Anas b. Malik reported:

 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered an enclosure while a servant was following him with a jar of water and he was the youngest amongst us and he placed it by the side of a lote-tree. When the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ) relieved himself, he came out and had cleansed himself with water. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 86)

Chapter 22: Wiping over the khuff (leather socks).

 

Hummam reported:

 

Jarir urinated, then performed ablution and wiped over the socks. It was said to him: Do you do like this? He said: Yes, I saw that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) urinated, then performed ablution and then wiped over his shoes. A'mash said: Ibrahim had observed that this hadith was a surprise for them (the people) because Jarir had embraced Islam after the revelation of Surat al-Ma'ida. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 89)

 

This hadith is narrated on the same authority from A'mash by another chain of transmitters like one transmitted by Abu Mu'awyia. The hadith reported by 'Isa and Sufyan has these words also:

 

"This hadith surprised the friends of Abdullab'" for Jarir had embraced Islam after the revelation of al-Ma'ida. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 90)

 

Hudhaifa reported:

 

I was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he came to the dumping ground of filth belonging to a particular tribe. He urinated while standing, and I went aside. He (the Holy Prophet) asked me to come near him and I went so near to him that I stood behind his heels. He then performed ablution and wiped over his socks. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 91)

 

Abu Wa'il reported:

 

Abu Musa inflicted extreme rigour upon himself in the matter of urination and urinated in a bottle and said: When the skin of anyone amongst the people of Israel was besmeared with urine, he cut that portion with a cutter. Hudhaifa said: I wish that'your friend should not inflict such an extreme rigour. I and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) were going together till we reached the dumping ground of filth behind an enclosure. He stood up as one among you would stand up. and he urinated, I tried to turn away from him, but he beckoned to me, so I went to him and I stood behind him, till he had relieved himself. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 92)

 

The son of Mughira b. Shu'ba reported:

 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out for relieving himself. Mughira went with him carrying a jug full of water. When he (the Holy Prophet) came back after relieving himself, he poured water over him and he performed ablution and wiped over his socks; and in the narration of Ibn Rumh there is" till" instead of" when". (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 93)

 

This hadith has been transmitted with the same chain of transmitters by Yahya b. Sa'id with the addition of these words:

 

"He washed his face and hands, and wiped his head and then wiped his socks." (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 94)

 

Mughira b. Shu'ba reported:

 

I was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one night. He came down (from the ride) and relieved himself. He then came and I poured water upon him from the jar that I carried with me. He performed ablution and wiped over his socks. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 95)

 

Mughira b. Shu'ba reported:

 

I was in the company of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on a journey when he said: Mughira take hold of this jar (of water). I took hold of it and I went out with him. (I stopped but) the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) proceeded on till he was out of my sight. He relieved himself and then came back and he was wearing a tight-sleeved Syrian gown. He tried to get his forearms out. but the sleeve of the gown was very narrow, so he brought his hands out from under the gown. I poured water over (his hands) and he performed ablution for prayer, then wiped over his socks and prayed. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 96)

 

Mughira b. Shu'ba reported:

 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out for relieving himself. When he came back I brought for him a jar (of water) and poured water upon his hands and He washed his face. He tried to wash his forearms, but as the (sleeves of the) gown were tight. He, therefore, brought them out from under the gown. He then washed them, wiped his head, and wiped his socks and then prayed. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 97)

 

'Urwa b. Mughira reported his father having said:

 

I was one night with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on a journey. He said to me: Have you any water with you? I said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) came down from his ride and went on till he disappeared in the darkness of night. He then came back and I poured water for him from the jar. He washed his face, He had a woollen gown on him and he could not bring out his forearms from it (i. e. from its sleeves) and consequently he brought them out from under his gown. He washed his forearms, wiped over his head. I then bent down to take off his socks. But he said: Leave them, for my feet were clean when I put them in, and he only wiped over them. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 98)

 

'Urwah al Mughira reported it from his father:

 

He (Mughira) helped the Apostle (ﷺ) in performing the ablution, and he performed it and wiped over his shoes. He (Mughira) said to him (about the washing of the feet after putting them off), but he (the Holy Prophet) said: I put them (feet) in when these were clean.
