It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was performing ablution and washing his leather socks (instead of wiping them). He (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his blessed hand like this and said: "You were only commanded to wipe," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) spread apart the fingers of his blessed palms and passed them over his leather socks (by way of wiping) to show him.
Imam Ibn Majah narrated it; however, it is not among the narrations we have heard (in our transmission).
