And from the Hadith of Jarir ibn Abdullah (RA), from the Prophet (SAW)
ومن حديث جرير بن عبد الله، (1) عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
Hadith 770:50
Sufyan narrated to us, al-A’mash narrated to us, from Ibrahim, from Hammam, who said: I saw Jarir ibn Abdullah performing ablution from a leather container, and he wiped over his leather socks. They said: "Do you wipe over your leather socks?" He said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace," and he said once: "wiping over his leather socks." This hadith used to amaze the companions of Abdullah, and they would say: "His conversion to Islam was only after the revelation of [Surah] al-Ma'idah."
حدثنا سفيان، حدثنا الأعمش، عن إبراهيم، عن همام قال: رأيت جرير بن عبد الله يتوضأ من مطهرة، ومسح على خفيه فقالوا: أتمسح على خفيك؟ فقال: " إني رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " وقال مرة: " يمسح على خفيه " فكان هذا الحديث يعجب أصحاب عبد الله يقولون: " إنما كان إسلامه بعد نزول المائدة "
