Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 1876 — Wiping over the leather socks

Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey. He said: "O Mughirah, take the water vessel." So I took the vessel and went with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went out of my sight and relieved himself. Then he came back, wearing a Syrian cloak (jubbah) with narrow sleeves. He tried to bring his hand out through its sleeve, but it was too narrow, so he brought his hand out from underneath the cloak. I poured water for him and he performed ablution as for prayer, then wiped over his leather socks and prayed.
