 Hammam said: Jarir urinated, then performed Wudu´ and passed (wet) hands on his Khuff. He said to him: ´´Do you do this?´´ He said: ´´Yes, I saw that the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam urinated, then performed Wudu´ and then passed his wet hands on his Kjuff.´´

A´mash said: Ibrahim told that they used to like this Hadith because Jarir embraced Islam after the revelation of Surat al-Ma´idah.

Abu Wa´il reported: Abu Musa Al-Ash´ari used to be compulsive in avoiding ruine. He used to urinate in a bottle, and he used to say, ´´When a Jew happened to soil his clothes with urine, he used to cut that portion by cutter.´´ Hearing that, Hudhaifah said to Abu Wa´il, ´´I was he (abu MUsa) would not be that compulsive in that matter. The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam and I were walking together until we reached the dump behind an orchard. He stood up as one of you would stand up, and he urinated. I tried to turn away from him, but he backoned to me. So I wnt to him and I stood behind him until be finished.´´ In another version it is added. ´´He performed Wudu´ and passed wet hands on his Khuff (leather socks).´´

Al-Mughriah bin Shu´bah narrated: One night I was with the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam and he asked (me), ´´Do you have water?´´ I said, ´´Yes.´´ So he got down from his shecamel and went away until he disppeared in the darkness of the night. Then he came back and I poured water for him from the pot. He washed his face while he was wearing a woolen cloak (the sleeves of which were narrow) and he could not take his arms out of it. So he took them out from under the cloak. Then he washed his forearms and passed his wet hands on his head. Then I tried to take off his Khuff, but he said, ´´Leave them, for I put them on while I had valid Wudu´.´´ And so he passed his wet hands over them.

Aisha to ask her about wiping the light boots. She said: ´´You better ask ´Ali bin Abu Talib for he used to travel with Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam.´´ We asked him and he said: ´´The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam timed the period of wiping validity of three days and three nights for a traveler and one day and one night for the resident.´´
