[Machine] I went to Safwan bin Assal and I said to him: "You were one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and it has been bothering me that I have traces of urine and feces on my socks. Please tell me anything you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this." He replied: "He used to command us, when we were traveling or on a journey, not to remove our socks for three days and nights except in a state of major impurity, but it is permissible to remove them for urination, defecation, or sleep."  

البيهقي:٥٥٧أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْبَيْرُوتِيُّ أنا أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي شَيْبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ ابْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي النَّجُودِ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ عَسَّالٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّكَ كُنْتَ امْرَأً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ حَاكَ فِي صَدْرِي الْمَسْحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ وَالْغَائِطِ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِشَيْءٍ إِنْ كُنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا إِذَا كُنَّا سَفَرًا أَوْ مُسَافِرِينَ أَنْ لَا نَخْلَعَ خِفَافَنَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيَهِنَّ إِلَّا مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ لَكِنْ مِنْ بَوْلٍ أَوْ غَائِطٍ أَوْ نَوْمٍ

[Machine] "What brings you here?" I said, "Seeking knowledge." He said, "Indeed, the angels spread their wings for the seeker of knowledge, pleased with what he seeks." I said, "May I ask you - an action that I perform in private, which is wiping over my socks after using the toilet - I used to be one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , so I came to you to ask if you have heard from him anything about it?" He said, "Yes, he used to instruct us when we were traveling or on a journey, not to remove our socks for three days and nights unless due to Janabah (major ritual impurity), but to remove them for using the toilet, urine, and sleep.”

مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ قُلْتُ ابْتِغَاءَ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ رِضًا لِمَا يَطْلُبُ قُلْتُ حَكَّ فِي نَفْسِي الْمَسْحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ بَعْدَ الْغَائِطِ وَالْبَوْلِ وَكُنْتَ امْرَأً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُكَ أَسْأَلُكَ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ مِنْهُ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ «كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا إِذَا كُنَّا سَفْرًا أَوْ مُسَافِرِينَ أَنْ لَا نَنْزِعَ خِفَافَنَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيَهُنَّ إِلَّا مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ لَكِنْ مِنْ غَائِطٍ وَبَوْلٍ وَنَوْمٍ»

[Machine] "What do you need from me?" I said to him, "I seek knowledge." He said, "Indeed, the angels spread their wings for the seeker of knowledge, pleased with what he seeks." I said to myself, "I will cleanse the two socks after relieving myself and urinating." I was a companion of the Prophet ﷺ , so I came to you to ask if you heard anything from him about this? He said, "Yes, he used to command us when we were on a journey or traveling, not to remove our socks for three days and nights except for sexual impurity, but we could do so for relieving ourselves, urinating, and sleeping."

[Machine] I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "When we were on a journey, he would instruct us not to remove our socks for three nights and days, except for janabah (sexual impurity), but rather for urination, defecation, or sleep."

سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا إِذَا كُنَّا سَفَرًا أَوْ مُسَافِرِينَ أَنْ لَا نَخْلَعَ خِفَافَنَا ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ وَأَيَّامَهُنَّ إِلَّا مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ وَلَكِنْ بَوْلٍ أَوْ غَائِطٍ أَوْ نَوْمٍ»

[Machine] "I came to Safwan ibn 'Assal al-Muradi and said to him: I have an itching sensation in my chest when I wipe over my socks after relieving myself. I used to be one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , so I came to ask you if you have heard anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this matter. He replied: Yes, he used to command us that when we are traveling or on a journey, we should not remove our socks for three days and nights, except for janabah (major ritual impurity). But on the other hand, if it is due to urination, defecation, or sleep, we can remove them."
