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.

He said to the Messenger of Allah: "Can I wipe over my leather socks?" He said: "Yes." He said: "For one day?" He said: "For two days?" He said: "For three?" And so on, until the number reached seven. He (the Prophet) said: "For as long as you see fit."  

عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ عِمَارَةَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ صَلَّى فِي بَيْتِهِ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمْسَحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ يَوْمًا قَالَ وَيَوْمَيْنِ قَالَ وَثَلاَثًا حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعًا قَالَ لَهُ وَمَا بَدَا لَكَ  

[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."

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»
