Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى الصَّلَوَات يَوْم الْفَتْح بِوضُوء وَاحِد وَمسح عل خُفَّيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: لَقَدْ صَنَعْتَ الْيَوْمَ شَيْئًا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَصْنَعُهُ فَقَالَ: «عَمْدًا صَنَعْتُهُ يَا عمر» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Translation

Burayda reported that on the day of the Conquest the Prophet prayed the prayers with a single ablution and wiped over his leather footwear. ʿUmar said to him: ‘Today you have done something you did not used to do.’ He replied: ‘I did it deliberately, ʿUmar.’ Muslim transmitted it.

Translation notes
  • The accompanying grading labels this report ṣaḥīḥ (sound). Khuff refers to leather footwear over which one may wipe during ablution.
