Musnad Ahmad 87 (Book 2, Hadith 6) #33781
Wiping Over Khuffain in Islam

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) wiping over his khuffain and how Ibn 'Umar was told by 'Umar bin al-Khattab to not object to Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas doing the same.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that he said: I saw Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas wiping over his khuffain in Iraq when he did wudoo’ and I objected to that When we met with 'Umar bin al-Khattab, he said to me. Ask your father about what you objected to me doing of wiping over my khuffain, I mentioned that to him and he said: If Sa'd tells you something, do not object to it, for the Messenger of Allah used to wipe over his khuffain.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ يَمْسَحُ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ بِالْعِرَاقِ حِينَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَأَنْكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِي سَلْ أَبَاكَ عَمَّا أَنْكَرْتَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ مَسْحِ الْخُفَّيْنِ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِذَا حَدَّثَكَ سَعْدٌ بِشَيْءٍ فَلَا تَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَمْسَحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ‏.‏

In this hadith, it is mentioned that Ibn 'Umar saw Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas performing this act in Iraq and objected to it. When they met with Umar bin al-Khattab, he told him not to object because the Prophet Muhammad used to do this himself.
