It is narrated from Abu Zur'ah bin Amr bin Jarir (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) urinated, then performed ablution and wiped over the leather socks, and said: Nothing prevents me from wiping; I have indeed seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping. They said: That was (the ruling) before the revelation of Surah al-Ma'idah. He said: I became Muslim after the revelation of Surah al-Ma'idah.
