Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ وَكَانَتْ امْرَأَتُهُ أُمَّ وَلَدٍ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ابْتَاعَ جَارِيَةً بِطَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ فَأَعْتَقَهَا وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَحُجَّ مَعَهُ فَابْتَغَى لَهَا نَعْلَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْهُمَا فَقَطَعَ لَهَا خُفَّيْنِ أَسْفَلَ مِنْ الْكَعْبَيْنِ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِابْنِ شِهَابٍ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَتْهُ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُرَخِّصُ لِلنِّسَاءِ فِي الْخُفَّيْنِ فَتَرَكَ ذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Ibn Abi Adi told us, from Muhammad b. Ishaq, who said: Nafi' told me — his wife was a slave-mother of Abdullah b. Umar — she told him that Abdullah b. Umar bought a slave-girl on the road to Makkah, freed her, and ordered her to perform Hajj with him. He sought sandals for her but could not find them, so he cut a pair of leather socks for her below the ankles. Ibn Ishaq said: I mentioned that to Ibn Shihab, and he said: Salim told me that Abdullah used to do that; then Safiyyah bint Abi Ubayd told him that Aishah told her that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to grant women a concession regarding wearing leather socks in pilgrim sanctity — so he gave up that cutting practice.
