ahmad:19237Muḥammad b. Abū ʿAdī > Shuʿbah > Sulaymān > Ibrāhīm > Hammām b. al-Ḥārith

[Machine] I saw a man performing prayer, then he performed ablution, wiped over his socks, and prayed. So, I asked him about that, and he mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ did the same.  

أحمد:١٩٢٣٧حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ

أَنَّ جَرِيرًا بَالَ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ وَصَلَّى فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَذَكَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
