It is narrated from Sahl bin Abi Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunayf al-Ansari that a man from the people of Syria asked his father, Abu Umamah, about wiping over leather socks (khuffs), and he replied: "Yes, wipe over them."
The Syrian man asked: Then what about the statement of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)? (That is, what is the standing of the contrary statement reported from him?) At that my father said to me: O my dear son, go to Sa'id bin al-Musayyib and tell him what this man has said! Sahl said: So I went to Sa'id bin al-Musayyib and said: My father sends you greetings of peace and asks you about wiping over leather socks. He said: "If you put them on while your feet were pure (in a state of ablution), then keep wiping over them until you take them off."
