143. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf's Umm Walad[1] said, "I said to Umm Salamah: 'Indeed I am a woman with lengthy hems, and I walk in places of filth.' So she said: 'Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "It is purified by what comes after it." (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] 'Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak reported this Hadīth from Mālik bin Anas, from Muḥammad bin 'Umārah, from Muḥammad bin Ibrāhīm, from the Umm Walad of Hūd bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf, from Umm Salamah.
But this is incorrect, ['Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf did not have a son named Hūd.]
It should be: "from the Umm Walad of Ibrāhīm bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf, from Umm Salamah," this is what is correct.
He said: On this topic, it is reported that Ibn Mas'ūd said: "We were with Allāh's Messenger, and we did not perform Wudū' for what we walked in."
Abū 'Eisā said: This is the saying of more than one of the people of
knowledge. They say: When a man walks in a filthy place it is not required for him to wash his feet, unless it (the filth) is wet, then he washes where it touched.

Commentary
If the lower side of the lower garment, trousers, pants or foot gets dirty with wet impure substance, it should be washed. If shoes get dirty, they would be rubbed on the ground to purify; and if the impurity is dry or it is merely mud, wiping the shoes on clean soil would clean it. Repeating ablution is not necessary for any of the conditions.
