Hadith 55
وعن علي رضي الله عنه أنه قال : لو كان الدين بالرأي لكان أسفل الخف أولى بالمسح من أعلاه ، وقد رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يمسح على ظاهر خفيه. أخرجه أبو داود بإسناد حسن.
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)].
