Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.

[Machine] I saw Sahl ibn Saad, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , urinating while standing near the elder sheikh. He almost preceded him (in finishing urinating), then he performed ablution and wiped over his socks. So I said to him, "Don't you remove them?" He said, "No, I have seen someone better than me wipe over them."  

الطبراني:٥٨١٧حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلْمٍ ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَالَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ بَوْلَ الشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ يَكَادُ يَسْبِقُهُ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَلَا تَنْزِعُ؟ قَالَ «لَا قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي مَسَحَ عَلَيْهِمَا»
