حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُقْرِئِ، قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ جَرِيرًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَوَضَّأَ مِنْ مِطْهَرَةٍ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ، قَالُوا: أَتَمْسَحُ عَلَى خُفَّيْكَ، قَالَ: «إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُهُ» قَالَ: فَكَانَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يُعْجِبُ أَصْحَابَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّمَا كَانَ إِسْلَامُهُ بَعْدَ نُزُولِ الْمَائِدَةِ.
Hammam bin Harith (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I saw Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him), he performed ablution from a vessel and wiped over his leather socks. So the people said: Are you wiping over the leather socks? He replied: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over them. The narrator says: The students of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) liked this hadith, they used to say: Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam after Surah Al-Ma'idah was revealed.
