حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ أُمِّ وَلَدٍ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ : إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ" أُطِيلُ ذَيْلِي فَأَمْشِي فِي الْمَكَانِ الْقَذِرِ ؟ ، فَقَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يُطَهِّرُهُ مَا بَعْدَهُ " .
´It was narrated that Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, said:` "I am a woman whose hem is lengthy, and I may walk through a dirty place. The Messenger of Allah said: 'That which comes after it purifies it.'"

Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Commentary:
When passing through a filthy place, if one's clothing brushes against it or shoes come into contact with it, one should not fall into doubt or obsessive thoughts (waswasah) because of this. If no impurity (najasah) is visibly present on the clothing, shoes, or body, then it should be understood that it has become pure (tahir) by itself due to walking on clean ground.
However, if something is actually attached to it, then certainly it is impure (najis) and it is necessary to wash it.

383. Commentary:
➊ If the effect of a heavy impurity (najasa ghaliza) is removed by rubbing against pure earth, then this garment will be considered pure; if it is not removed, then it should be washed.
➋ In the best generations (khayr al-quroon), the state of women's veiling (purdah) was such that they would even take care to cover their feet, and they were extremely mindful of purity (taharah), to the extent that they would inquire about such matters in detail.

Hafiz Abu Samee'ah
Benefit:
... It is understood that the earth becomes pure when it dries, and whatever garment or shoe, etc., comes into contact with impurity, the dry part of the ground purifies it. This blessed hadith is also presented as evidence for the distinction between dry and wet impurity. In any case, Imam Malik rahimahullah is establishing that impurity coming upon the body or clothing does not invalidate ablution (wudu). A woman from Banu Abd al-Ashhal asked about this very issue regarding rain, so the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
«أَلَيْسَ بَعْدَهَا طرِيقٌ هِيَ أَطيبُ مِنْهَا؟»
"Does there not come a path after it that is purer than it?"
She said: "Why not?" So he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
«فهذه بهذه»
"Then that is in place of it."
[ابو داود: 384، اس كي سند صحيح هے]
Furthermore, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
«اذَا وَطِئَ أَحَدُكُمْ بِنَعْلِهِ الأذى فَإِنَّ التُّرَابَ لَهُ طَهُور»
"When any one of you treads filth with his shoe, then indeed, the earth is a purifier for it."
[ابو داود: 387 - 385، اس كي سند صحيح لغيره هے]
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu said:
«كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلَا نَتَوَضَّأُ مِنَ الْمَوْطِئ»
"We used to perform prayer with the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and, due to treading on impurity, we would not perform (a new) ablution (wudu)."
[ترمذي: 143، ابو داؤد: 204، ابن ماجه: 1041، حاكم: 139/1، اس كي سند صحيح هے]
