2. Purification
٢۔ كتاب الطهارة
I came to 'A'isha to ask her about wiping over the socks. She said: You better ask ('Ali) son of Abu Talib for he used to travel with Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We asked him and he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stipulated (the upper limit) of three days and three nights for a traveller and one day and one night for the resident.
عَلَيْكَ بِابْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَسَلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَافِرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيَهُنَّ لِلْمُسَافِرِ وَيَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً لِلْمُقِيمِ قَالَ وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ إِذَا ذَكَرَ عَمْرًا أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ
This hadith is narrated by Ubaidullah b. 'Amr and Zaid b. Abu Unaisa with the same chain of transmitters.
عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ
I asked 'A'isha about wiping over the shoes. She said: You better go to 'Ali, for he knows more about this than I. I, therefore, came to 'Ali and he narrated from the Apostle ﷺ like this.
فَقَالَتِ ائْتِ عَلِيًّا فَإِنَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ مِنِّي فَأَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا فَذَكَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ
