151. Al-Mughīrah bin Shu'bah narrated: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, in a caravan. I had a container (of water) with me. The Prophet ﷺ went to relieve himself, and when he returned I went to him with the container and poured water for him. He washed his hands and face, and then tried to take his forearms out, while he was wearing a woolen Jubbah (made in) Rome which had tight sleeves, so he took them out from under the Jubbah. I bent down to his Khuffs in order to take them off, but he said: 'Leave the Khuffs on, for I put my two feet in them while they were both pure,' and he wiped over them." (Sahih) (Eisā bin Yūnus — one of the narrators) said: "My father said: 'Ash-Sha'bi said: 'Urwah testified before me (in narrating it) from his father, and his father testified about it from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.'"[1]

151 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، يَذْكُرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكْبِهِ وَمَعِي إِدَاوَةٌ فَخَرَجَ لِحَاجَتِهِ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ فَتَلَقَّيْتُهُ بِالْإِدَاوَةِ فَأَفْرَغْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ، ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ، وَعَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ مِنْ صُوفٍ مِنْ جِبَابِ الرُّومِ، ضَيِّقَةُ الْكُمَّيْنِ، فَضَاقَتْ فَادَّرَعَهُمَا ادِّرَاعًا، ثُمَّ أَهْوَيْتُ إِلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ لِأَنْزَعَهُمَا، فَقَالَ لِي: «دَعِ الْخُفَّيْنِ، فَإِنِّي أَدْخَلْتُ الْقَدَمَيْنِ الْخُفَّيْنِ وَهُمَا طَاهِرَتَانِ فَمَسَحَ عَلَيْهِمَا»، قَالَ أَبِي: قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ: شَهِدَ لِي عُرْوَةُ، عَلَى أَبِيهِ، وَشَهِدَ أَبُوهُ، عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،

Commentary

1. It is permissible to wear clothing made by non-Muslims, provided that it does not violate any religious regulations, and it is not viewed as unique to a particular non-Muslim culture. 2. It is permissible to wipe over Khuffs provided one has already completed Wudu' or Ghusl prior to putting the two feet into them. The same applies to socks.
