Masah On The Khufain (Leather Socks) in the Light of Hadith

Hadith 1: Imam Ahmed and Abu Dawud reported from Mughira رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ wherein he says that Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  performed masah on the leather sock, so I said, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم ; Huzoor has not remembered!’ Huzoor  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘Actually, it is you who has forgotten. It is this which my Creator عزوجل has commanded.’

Hadith 2: Darqutni has reported from Abu Bakr رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم permitted a Musafir (traveller) to perform masah on the leather sock for 3 days and 3 nights and he has permitted this to a Muqeem (resident) for 1 day and 1 night on condition that he wears it with Tahaarat (purification).

Hadith 3: Tirmizi and Nasa’i reported on the authority of Safwaan bin As’sal رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ (who says), ‘Whilst we were travelling, Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  would command us not to remove our leather socks for 3 days and 3 nights; except in the case of Janaabat and not after passing urine, stool or falling asleep.’

Hadith 4: Abu Dawud reported that Hazrat Ali رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ said, ‘If Deen would have been based on our own analysis then the masah of the sole of the leather sock would be better compared to the top.’

Hadith 5: Abu Dawud and Tirmizi have reported that Mughira bin Shu’ba رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ says, ‘I saw Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  performing masah on the upper part (i.e. top) of the leather socks.’
