Hadith 18091

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ عَسَّالٍ الْمُرَادِيَّ ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : كُنَّا نَكُونُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، " فَيَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ لَا نَنْزِعَ خِفَافَنَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَائِطٍ وَبَوْلٍ وَنَوْمٍ " . وَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ جَهْوَرِيُّ الصَّوْتِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، الرَّجُلُ يُحِبُّ الْقَوْمَ وَلَمَّا يَلْحَقْ بِهِمْ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : : " الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ " .
Zirr bin Hubaish (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I presented myself before Hazrat Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about the ruling of wiping over leather socks. He said: We were with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and he used to command us not to remove our leather socks for three days, except if someone became junub (in a state of major ritual impurity). But for urination, defecation, and sleep, there was no command to remove them. And a loud-voiced Bedouin came and said, "O Muhammad! (peace and blessings be upon him) If a man loves a people but is not included among them, what is the ruling?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A person (on the Day of Judgment) will be with those whom he loves.
