حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي حَيْوَةُ ، سَمِعْتُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ ، أَنَّ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بِفَتْحِ دِمَشْقَ ، قَالَ : وَعَلَيَّ خُفَّانِ ، فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ : " كَمْ لَكَ يَا عُقْبَةُ لَمْ تَنْزِعْ خُفَّيْكَ ؟ " ، فَتَذَكَّرْتُ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ ، فَقُلْتُ : مُنْذُ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ ، قَالَ : " أَحْسَنْتَ ، وَأَصَبْتَ السُّنَّةَ " .
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he presented himself before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on the occasion of the conquest of Damascus. He says: "I was wearing leather socks (khuffs)." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) inquired: "O Uqbah! How many days has it been since you last removed your khuffs?" Then I remembered: "I have been wearing them from the previous Friday until this Friday." I replied: "For eight days." So he said: "You have done right and acted according to the Sunnah."
