Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 1887 — Wiping over the leather socks

Abu Muslim said: Once I was with Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him). He saw a man taking off his leather socks to perform ablution, and he said: "Wipe over your leather socks and over your head-cloth, and wipe your forelock, for I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over the leather socks and the head-cloth."
