قَالَ أَحْمَدُ: لَا يَثْبُتُ فِيهِ شَيْء ٌ 1 .1 - كما في "مسائل ابن هانيء" (1/16/3). قلت: ولكن الحديث حسن بشواهده، وصححه غير واحد من الحافظ، وقد فصلت القول فيه في "الأصل".
Translation
Narrated ‘Ali (rad)
If the religion were based on opinion, it would be more important to wipe over the under parts of the leather socks than the upper, but I have seen Allah’s Messenger (rad) wiping over the upper parts of his leather socks. [Reported by Abu Da’ud with good Isnad (chain of narrators)].
