حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّی الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُنْذِرٌ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْکَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجُلٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَيَغْسِلُ خُفَّيْهِ فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ کَأَنَّهُ دَفَعَهُ إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتَ بِالْمَسْحِ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ هَکَذَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِ الْأَصَابِعِ إِلَی أَصْلِ السَّاقِ وَخَطَّطَ بِالْأَصَابِعِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 551
It was narrated that Jabir said: “The Messenger of Allah passed by a man who was performing ablution and washing his leather socks. He gestured with his hand, (and said): ‘Rather I have been commanded to wipe them.’ The Messenger of Allah gestured with his hand like this, from the tips of the toes to the base of the shin, tracing lines with his fingers.”
