[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "No one goes out of his house seeking knowledge except that the angels spread their wings for him, pleased with what he does." He said, "I came to ask you about wiping over the two socks." He said, "Yes, I was in the army that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent, and he commanded us to wipe over the two socks when we put them on in a state of purity, three times when we traveled, and for the duration of a night when we stayed, and we did not remove them for urination, defecation, sleep, or except from janabah." He said, "And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Indeed, at Maghrib there is an open gate for repentance, its distance is seventy years, and it does not close until the sun rises from its direction.'"

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whenever someone leaves their home in search of knowledge, the angels lower their wings in approval of what they are doing." He was asked about wiping over the socks. He replied, "Yes, I was amongst the army that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent, and he commanded us to wipe over our socks three times, for cleanliness, during travel for up to three days and nights, and during staying in a place for one day and one night. We do not take them off except when in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah)." He also said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'There is a gate open for repentance in the west, the distance of a journey of seventy years, which will not be closed until the sun rises from the west.'"

[Machine] What brought you here? I said, I came to seek knowledge. He said, I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whenever a person goes out of his house in search of knowledge, the angels lower their wings in approval of what he is doing." I said, I came to ask you about wiping over the socks. He said, Yes, we were in the army that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent. He commanded us to wipe over the socks when we put them on while in a state of purity three times, even if we were traveling and did not remove them due to feces or urine.
