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.  

مسلم:٢٧٦aوَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْمُلاَئِيِّ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ أَسْأَلُهَا عَنِ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ فَقَالَتْ

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

I asked ʿA’ishah about wiping over the khuffain (leather slippers) and she said: Ask ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ , for he used to travel with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So I asked him and he said: For the traveller (the khuffain in may be wiped over) for three days and nights and for the one who is not travelling one day and night. Yahya said: He - meaning Shuʿbah - used to attribute it to the Prophet ﷺ, then he stopped doing that.

I came to ʿAʿishah ؓ to ask her about the khuffain (leather slippers). She said: Go to Ibn Abi Talib, for he used to travel with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
