The researchers of Musnad Ahmad, as well as the great scholar Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, have discussed this narration at length and have also mentioned its supporting evidences, from which the opinion that the hadith is hasan appears to be closer to correctness. Therefore, despite the aforementioned narration being weak in its chain, it is still actionable. And Allah knows best.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ It is permissible to accept a gift and to use it immediately after acceptance, and this is also a sign that it has been accepted.
➋ Leather becomes pure after being tanned.
➌ Counting this narration among the unique reports of the people of Basrah is one of the oversights of Imam Abu Dawud rahimahullah. [عون المعبود]

The previous three narrations are weak in terms of their chain of transmission, whereas the issue itself—that is, wiping over the leather socks (khuffayn)—is correct and established by the narrations of the two Sahihs (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim).
