94. It has been related from Shahr bin Hawshab that he said: "I saw Jarīr bin 'Abdullāh performing Wudū', and he wiped over his Khuff. I asked him about that. He replied, 'I saw Allāh's Messenger ﷺ performing Wudū' and he wiped over his Khuff. So I said to him, 'Before Sūrat Al-Mā'idah (was revealed) or after Al-Mā'idah?' So he replied, 'I did not accept Islam until after Al-Mā'idah.'"
Qutaibah narrated this to us; (saying) Khālid bin Ziyād At-Tirmidhī narrated it to us, from Muqātīl bin Hayyān, from Shahr bin Hawshab, from Jarīr.
He said: Baqiyyah related it from Ibrāhīm bin Adham from Muqātīl bin Hayyān, from Shahr bin Hawshab, from Jarīr.
This Hadīth is explanatory, because some who dislike wiping over the Khuff give the interpretation that the Prophet's ﷺ wiping over the two Khuff was before the revelation of Sūrat Al-Mā'idah. But in his Hadīth, Jarīr mentions that he saw the Prophet ﷺ wiping over his Khuff after the revelation of Sūrat Al-Mā'idah.

Commentary
Jarīr bin 'Abdullāh ﷺ embraced Islam in the beginning of 10th Hijrah, and Sūrat Al-Mā'idah, which has the commandment of washing feet, had already been revealed; it informs that wiping over the Khuff (leather socks) was not abrogated by the verse of ablution. Other than Shiites and Khawārij, the entire Ummah agree on the legality of wiping over the leather socks.
