English translation

546. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that he saw Sa'd bin Mālik 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 Allāh ﷺ and we do not see anything wrong with that." Ibn 'Umar said: "Even if that is after one has defecated?" He said: "Yes." (Sahih)

546 - حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى اللَّيْثِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَوَاءٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى سَعْدَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ «يَمْسَحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ» فَقَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَتَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ، فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ لِعُمَرَ أَفْتِ ابْنَ أَخِي فِي الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ كُنَّا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَمْسَحُ عَلَى خِفَافِنَا لَا نَرَى بِذَلِكَ بَأْسًا» فَقَالَ: ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَإِنْ جَاءَ مِنَ الْغَائِطِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»

Commentary

a. Scholars have a duty to satisfy the questions or points of doubt with proofs, just as 'Umar ﷺ provided the evidence by saying that he and others had been doing it in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, and he never objected to it. Hence it was perfectly in order. b. An act being done in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and his refraining from objecting to it is called a Hadith Taqri (a Hadith proved from the Prophet's silent approval).
