I asked: Messenger of Allah ﷺ may I wipe over the socks? He replied: Yes. He asked: For one day? He replied: For one day. He again asked: And for two days? He replied: For two days too. He again asked: And for three days? He replied: Yes, as long as you wish. Abu Dawud said: Another version says: He asked him about the period until he reached the period of seven days. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: Yes, as long as you wish (i.e. there is no time limit). Abu Dawud said: There is a variance in the chain of narrators of this tradition. The chain is not strong. Another chain from Yahya b. Ayyub is also disputed.  

يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَكَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِلْقِبْلَتَيْنِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمْسَحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ يَوْمًا قَالَ يَوْمًا قَالَ وَيَوْمَيْنِ قَالَ وَيَوْمَيْنِ قَالَ وَثَلاَثَةً قَالَ نَعَمْ وَمَا شِئْتَ  

[Machine] From Ubayy ibn Umayrah, who prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the direction of both qiblas, it is reported that he asked, "O Messenger of Allah, should I wipe over both socks?" He said, "Yes." He asked, "For a day?" He replied, "And two days." He asked, "And three?" He said, "Yes, as long as you wish." Ubayy ibn Umayrah was a well-known companion, and this is a reliable chain of narration that has not been attributed to any invalid narrator. Malik ibn Anas and others have reported it.  

عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ وَقَدْ كَانَ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمْسَحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ يَوْمًا قَالَ «وَيَوْمَيْنِ» قَالَ وَثَلَاثَةٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ مَا شِئْتَ» «أُبَيُّ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ صَحَابِيٌّ مَعْرُوفٌ وَهَذَا إِسْنَادٌ مِصْرِيٌّ لَمْ يُنْسَبْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى جَرْحٍ وَإِلَى هَذَا ذَهَبَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ»  

[Machine] On the authority of Ibn Umar Al-Ansari, Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray in his house facing both Qiblas. I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, should I wipe over both my socks?" He replied, "Yes, for a day." I asked, "And for two days?" He said, "Yes, and for three days." I asked, "And for three days?" He replied, "Yes, and as long as you wish."  

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَارَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ صَلَّى فِي بَيْتِهِ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ جَمِيعًا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمْسَحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ يَوْمًا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَيَوْمَيْنِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَثَلَاثَةً» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَثَلَاثَةً؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَمَا شِئْتَ»  

[Machine] I asked the Prophet of Allah ﷺ if I should wipe over my socks. He said, "Yes." I asked, "For one day?" He replied, "Yes, and two days." I asked, "And three days, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Yes, as long as they appear to be clean to you."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي بَيْتِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمْسَحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ يَوْمٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَيَوْمَيْنِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ وَثَلَاثٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَمَا بَدَا لَكَ»  

"عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ عِمَارَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ رسُولُ الله ﷺ صَلَّى فِى بَيْتِهِ القِبْلَتَيْنِ، وَأَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله: أَمْسَحُ عَلَى الْخُفيْنِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قُلتُ: يَوْمَّا؟ قَالَ: ويَوْمَيْنِ، قُلْتُ وَيَوْمَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: وَثَلاَثَة حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعَةً، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ نَعَمْ، وَما بَدَا لَكَ".
