262 - Muhammad ibn Sa'id narrated to us, saying: 'Abd al-A'la narrated to us, from Sa'id, from al-Ash'ath ibn Sulaym, from his father, who said: I saw Abu Musa emerge from a state of impurity (hadath), and he wiped over his skullcap (qalansuwah) and his leather socks (khuffayn).
263 - 'Amr ibn 'Uthman narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn 'Isa narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from 'Abd Allah ibn Dirar, who said: I saw Anas ibn Malik enter the privy, then he came out and performed ablution, and he wiped over his skullcap and two socks (jawrabayn) of his, then he went forward and led us in a prescribed prayer.
Chapter: He Who Wipes Over the Leather Socks, Then Takes Them Off
• I asked Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and I said: A man wiped over his leather socks, then took them off? He said: "He must repeat the ablution." He added: "Al-Zuhri said: 'If he takes off one of them, he washes one of his feet and wipes over the other, and if he takes them both off, he performs ablution.'" Ahmad said: "And whoever says: 'If he takes them off, he washes his feet,' it is incumbent upon him to say: He repeats the ablution."
• I heard Ishaq say: "If he has wiped then taken them off, he repeats the ablution."
• And I heard Ishaq - on another occasion - say: "If you have wiped over your two socks, then taken them off, you have repeated your entire ablution. The people of knowledge have differed on this, and each has a rationale, and the most sound of the rationales is: repeating the ablution."
