Azami 1701

Malik narrated it in Hajj (31), from Saeed bin Abu Saeed Maqburi, from Ubayd bin Jurayj, and he mentioned the hadith. Bukhari narrated it in wudu (166), and in clothing (5850), from Abdullah bin Yusuf, and Muslim narrated it in Hajj (1187), from Yahya bin Yahya, both of them from Malik with this wording. The full hadith will come later in Hajj.Bukhari titled his chapter on it, "Washing the feet in sandals, and not wiping over the sandals." The correspondence between the hadith and the chapter title lies in his saying, "and he would perform wudu in them," for its apparent meaning is that ﷺ would wash his feet while they were in his sandals, and if he had meant wiping, he would have said, "over them." But Sufyan narrated it from Muhammad bin Ajlan, from Maqburi, adding to it, "and he wiped over them." This is how Ibn Khuzayma narrated it (199), and Bayhaqi through his route (1/287), and he said, "If this addition is preserved, it does not contradict washing them, for one may wash them while in the sandal and wipe over them, just as he wiped over his forelock and over his turban." End of quote.His saying, "sibtiyyah," with a kasrah on the undotted letter, refers to sandals that have no hair on them, derived from "sabt," meaning shaving, or because they were softened through tanning.As for what was narrated from Yaala bin Ata, from his father, who said, Aws bin Abu Aws Thaqafi informed me that he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ come to a water channel belonging to some people, and in another wording, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ come to a water channel," meaning a place for ablution, "and he performed wudu and wiped over his sandals and his feet." This is a hadith with a defect, narrated by Abu Dawud (160), who said, Musaddad and Abbad bin Musa narrated to us, who said, Hushaym narrated to us, from Yaala bin Ata, from his father.Ata, the father of Yaala, who was Amiri, is unknown, as Ibn Qattan said, and in Taqrib he is described as "acceptable," meaning acceptable if corroborated, and since we found no corroboration for him, his hadith is weak, with disagreement in it as well. For Ahmad narrated it (16158) through the hadith of Shuba, who said, Yaala narrated to me, from his father, with the wording, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform wudu and wipe over his sandals, then stand for prayer."Hammad bin Salama differed with him, for he did not say, "from his father," but rather narrated it from Yaala bin Ata, from Aws bin Abu Aws, who said, "I saw my father perform wudu and wipe over his sandals, so I said, 'Do you wipe over the sandals?' He said, 'I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wipe over them.'" From this route Imam Ahmad narrated it (16165), and Ibn Hibban (1339). Bayhaqi said, "There is a disconnection in it, and this is an isnad that is not strong."I say, he is pointing to the disconnection between Yaala bin Ata and Aws bin Abu Aws, and his saying "not strong" refers to Hammad bin Salama's disagreement with Hushaym and Shuba, and in their isnad is the father of Yaala, who is unknown as mentioned before.The summary of the matter, as Hazimi said (62–63), is, "This hadith is not known to be sound and connected except through the hadith of Yaala bin Ata, and there is disagreement in it as well, and even assuming it is established, some have held that it was abrogated." He also said, "With this instability, it is not possible to rely on it, and even if it were established, it would be abrogated, as Hushaym said."As for Ibn Turkmani's response to Bayhaqi, that Ibn Hibban included it in his Sahih, so relying on it as evidence is sufficient, the correct view is that it is not sufficient, because it contains the father of Yaala, who is unknown as mentioned before, and Ibn Hibban is well known for authenticating unknown narrators, as is well known.Likewise, what was narrated from Ibn Abbas, that he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform wudu once each, and wipe over his sandals, is not sahih. Bayhaqi narrated it (1/286) and said, "This is how Rawwad bin Jarra narrated it, and he alone narrates unusual reports from Thawri, and this is one of them, while the trustworthy narrators narrated it from Thawri without this wording, and it has been narrated from Zayd bin Hubab, from Thawri, in this manner, but it is not preserved." End of quote.Likewise, what was narrated from Ali bin Abu Talib is not sahih, that he called for a pitcher of water, then performed a light wudu, then wiped over his sandals, then said, "This is how the Prophet's ﷺ wudu was, for the one who is pure as long as he has not broken his purity." Ibn Khuzayma narrated it (200), and Bayhaqi (1/75). For in its isnad is Ibrahim bin Abu Layth, who is discarded in hadith, as Dhahabi said in Mizan.And even assuming it is sahih from Ali bin Abu Talib, Bayhaqi mentioned several interpretations, among them, that he performed a voluntary wudu, not an obligatory one incumbent on him, and this is what Ali bin Abu Talib pointed to in his saying, "This is the wudu of one who has not broken his purity," narrated by Ibn Hibban (1340) with a sahih isnad, as a report stopped at him. Or he meant washing the feet while in the sandals, as Bukhari said, or he meant by it wiping over the socks, because what is established from him is that he washed the feet, and this is what is established from the Prophet ﷺ.
