Narrated Abu Musa al-Ashari: Negus presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ two black and simple socks. He put them on; then he performed ablution and wiped over them.

Narrated Hudhaifah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to a midden of some people and urinated while standing. He then asked for water and wiped his shoes. Abu Dawud said: Musaddad, a narrator, reported: I went far away from him. He then called me and I reached just near his heals.

Narrated Thawban: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out an expedition. They were affected by cold. When they returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he commanded them to wipe over turbans and stockings.

Urwah bin al-Mughirah reported his father as saying: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to a caravan, and I had a jug of water. He went to relieve himself and came back. I came to him with the jug of water and poured upon him. He washed his hands and face. He had a tight-sleeved Syrian woolen gown. He tried to get his forearms out, but the sleeve of the gown was very narrow, so he brought his hands out from under the gown. I then bent down to take off his socks. But he said to me: Leave them, for my feet were clean when I put them in, and he only wiped over them. Yunus said on the authority of al-Shabi that Urwah narrated his tradition from his father before him, and his father reported it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Abu zurah bin Amr bin Jarir said: Jarir urinated. He then performed ablution and wiped over the socks. He said: What can prevent me from wiping (over the socks); I saw the Messenger of Allah (doing so).

Narrated Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution and wiped over the stockings and shoes.

Abu Musa al-Ashari has also reported: The Prophet ﷺ wiped over stockings. But the chain of narrators of this tradition is neither continous nor strong. Ali bin Abi Talib, Ibn Masud, al-Bara bin Aziz, Anas bin Malik, Abu Umamah, Sahl bin Saad and Amr bin Huriath also wiped over the stockings.

Narrated Aws ibn Abu Aws ath-Thaqafi: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution and wiped over his shoes and feet. Abbad (a sub-narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the well of a people. Musaddad did not mention the words Midat (a place where ablution is performed), and Kazamah (well). Then both agreed on the wording: "He performed ablution and wiped over his shoes and feet. "

Narrated Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiped over the socks. Another version adds: "On the back (upper part) of the socks. "

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: If the religion were based on opinion, it would be more important to wipe the under part of the shoe than the upper but I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiping over the upper part of his shoes.
