حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَی اللَّيْثِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَوَائٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ رَأَی سَعْدَ بْنَ مَالِکٍ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ عَلَی الْخُفَّيْنِ فَقَالَ إِنَّکُمْ لَتَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِکَ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ لِعُمَرَ أَفْتِ ابْنَ أَخِي فِي الْمَسْحِ عَلَی الْخُفَّيْنِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ کُنَّا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَمْسَحُ عَلَی خِفَافِنَا لَا نَرَی بِذَلِکَ بَأْسًا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَإِنْ جَائَ مِنْ الْغَائِطِ قَالَ نَعَمْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 546
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that he saw Sa'd bin Malik wiping over his leather socks and said: "Is it you doing this?" They both went to 'Umar and Sa'd said to 'Umar: "Give my brother's son a verdict regarding wiping over leather socks." 'Umar said: "We used to wipe over our leather socks when we were with the Messenger of Allah and we do not see anything wrong with that." Ibn 'Umar said: "Even if that is after one has defecated?" He said: "Yes."
