Zirr bin Hubaish reported: I went to Safwan bin `Assal (May Allah be pleased with him) to inquire about wiping
with wet hands over light boots while performing Wudu'. He asked me, "What brings you here, Zirr?'' I answered:
"Search for knowledge". He said, "Angels spread their wings for the seeker of knowledge out of joy for what he
seeks". I told him, "I have some doubts in my mind regarding wiping of wet hands over light boots in the course of
performing Wudu' after defecation or urinating. Now since you are one of the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH), I
have come to ask you whether you heard any saying of the Prophet (PBUH) concerning it?". He replied in the
affirmative and said, "He (PBUH) instructed us that during a journey we need not take off our light boots for
washing the feet up to three days and nights, except in case of major impurity (after sexual intercourse). In other
cases such as sleeping, relieving oneself or urinating, the wiping of wet hands over light boots will suffice.'' I, then,
questioned him, "Did you hear him say anything about love and affection?'' He replied, "We accompanied the
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) in a journey when a bedouin called out in a loud voice, `O Muhammad.' The
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) replied him in the same tone,
`Here I am.
' I said to him (the bedouin), `Woe to you,
lower your voice in his presence, because you are not allowed to do so.' He said, `By Allah! I will not lower my
voice,' and then addressing the Prophet (PBUH) he said, `What about a person who loves people but has not found
himself in their company.' Messenger of Allah (PBUH) replied,
`On the Day of Resurrection, a person will be in the
company of those whom he loves.
' The Messenger of Allah then kept on talking to us and in the course of his talk,
he mentioned a gateway in the heaven, the width of which could be crossed by a rider in forty or seventy years".
Sufyan, one of the narrators of this tradition, said: "This gateway is in the direction of Syria. Allah created it on the
day He created the heavens and the earth. It is open for repentance and will not be shut until the sun rises from that
direction (i.e., the West) (on Doomsday)".
[At-Tirmidhi, who categorised it as Hadith Hasan Sahih]
Commentary:
1. We learn from this Hadith that in ablution, it is permissible to wipe over light boots rather than washing the feet.
It is called Mash. The period, in which Mash is intact, in case of travellers it is three days and three nights; while for
the residents, it is one day and one night only. A precondition for it is that light boots should be clean and worn after
full Wudu'. Ankles should also be covered. In case of breach of ablution, the wiping over the socks is sufficient, and
there is no need for washing the feet. Wudu' is invalidated by sleeping, call of nature and passing of wind. This is
called Hadath Asghar. In the case of Hadath Akbar, which occurs because of coitus, menses and wet dream, washing
of the whole body becomes obligatory. It means that the privilege of wiping over the light boots is also finished in
this case, in the same way as it does after the expiry of period specified for it.
2. One should associate himself with the pious people so that he is counted among them. One also comes to know
many other points from this Hadith which every intelligent person can understand with a little effort.

. Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Prophet of Allah (PBUH) said:
"There was a
man from among a nation before you who killed ninety-nine people and then made an inquiry about the most
learned person on the earth. He was directed to a monk. He came to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine
people and asked him if there was any chance for his repentance to be accepted. He replied in the negative and the
man killed him also completing one hundred. He then asked about the most learned man in the earth. He was
directed to a scholar. He told him that he had killed one hundred people and asked him if there was any chance for
