ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to [do the following] whenever he returned from a battle or the pilgrimage (1) or ‘umrah (2). While ascending a hill or an elevation, he would testify to God’s greatness three times and then say, “There is no god except Allāh (3) alone; He has no partner. His is the dominion; to Him belongs all praise. He has power over all things. We return(4), repentant, worshipping, seeking [God's pleasure], praising our Lord. God has kept His promise; He came to the aid of His bondsman (5) granting him victory and defeating the confederates alone(6).” Footnotes: (Ḥajj) The pilgrimage to Makkah and Madīnah during the first half of the month of Thul-Ḥijjah, which is the fifth pillar of Islām. A voluntary short ritual visit to the Sanctified Mosque in Makkah that can be performed at any time of the year. Allāh is the Arabic name for the One and Only God, the same God shared by all monotheistic faiths (the name Allāh is often used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews). The name Allāh encompasses all the divine names and attributes of the Lord of the worlds, and hence has vast scopes of meaning. It is for this reason that Muslims consider it unique. Unlike the word 'God', Allāh in Arabic has no inflections of gender or number. Returning to our homes; or he may have also meant returning to God in repentance. Here the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, is referring to himself. The different factions that united to fight against Islam.

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ بَالَ جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَتَفْعَلُ هَذَا قَالَ وَمَا يَمْنَعُنِى وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَفْعَلُهُ. قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُمْ حَدِيثُ جَرِيرٍ لأَنَّ إِسْلاَمَهُ كَانَ بَعْدَ نُزُولِ الْمَائِدَةِ. هَذَا قَوْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَعْنِى كَانَ يُعْجِبُهُمْ. قَالَ وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَعَلِىٍّ وَحُذَيْفَةَ وَالْمُغِيرَةِ وَبِلاَلٍ وَسَعْدٍ وَأَبِى أَيُّوبَ وَسَلْمَانَ وَبُرَيْدَةَ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَأَنَسٍ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَيَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ وَعُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنِ شَرِيكٍ وَأَبِى أُمَامَةَ وَجَابِرٍ وَأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَابْنِ عُبَادَةَ وَيُقَالُ ابْنُ عِمَارَةَ وَأُبَىُّ بْنُ عِمَارَةَ. قَالَ أَبُوعِيسَى وَحَدِيثُ جَرِيرٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Jarīr Ibn-Abdullāh urinated then performed ablution and wiped (over) his footwear(1). He was asked, "Why do you do that?" He replied, "and Why not when I saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, do so (i.e. wipe his footwear rather than take it off and wash his feet)." Ibrāhīm [an-Nakh'ī] said, they (i.e. scholars of ḥadīth) liked Jarīr's ḥadīth because he embraced Islām after al-Mā'idah Chapter was revealed (2).
(1) Khuf: a leather boot or sock, much like a moccasin, that covers the entire foot and ankle. (2) In al-Mā'idah Chapter, the descrpition of ablution was revealed : "You who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and [wash] your feet to the ankles" (5 [al-Mā'idah]: 6). However, since he was doing that, he must have seen the Prophet , peace and blessing of God be upon him, do so after this verse was revealed, and so it remains valid.
