"I asked 'Aishah about wiping over the Khuffs and she said: 'Go to 'Ali, for he knows more about that than I do.' So I went to 'Ali and asked him about wiping (over the Khuffs) and he said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to tell us to wipe (over the Khuffs) for one day and one night for the resident, and three for the traveler.'"  

فَقَالَتِ ائْتِ عَلِيًّا فَإِنَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ مِنِّي فَأَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَسْحِ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ يَمْسَحَ الْمُقِيمُ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً وَالْمُسَافِرُ ثَلاَثًا  

"I asked 'Aishah about wiping over the leather socks and she said: 'Go to 'Ali and ask him, for he knows more about that than I do.' So I went to 'Ali and asked him about wiping. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah used to tell us that the resident could wipe for one day and one night, and the traveler could do so for three days.'"  

فَقَالَتِ ائْتِ عَلِيًّا فَسَلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ مِنِّي فَأَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَسْحِ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَمْسَحَ لِلْمُقِيمِ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً وَلِلْمُسَافِرِ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ  

I asked ʿAʿishah about wiping over the khuffain [leather slippers]. She said: Go to ‘Ali, for he knows more about that than me. So I went to ʿAli ؓ and asked him about wiping over the khuffain. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to tell us to wipe over the khuffain for one day and night, and for the traveller it is three [days and nights]. Yazeed told us: Hajjaj narrated to us and attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ.  

ائْتِ عَلِيًّا فَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ مِنِّي قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ قَالَ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَمْسَحَ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً وَلِلْمُسَافِرِ ثَلاثًا  

I asked ʿA’ishah: Tell me about a man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ whom I can ask about wiping over the khuffain. She said: Go to ‘Ali and ask him, for he stayed close to the Prophet ﷺ. So I went to ‘Ali ؓ and asked him, and he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us to wipe over our khifaf when we travelled.  

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ أَخْبِرِينِيبِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ فَقَالَتْ ائْتِ عَلِيًّا فَسَلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَلْزَمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْمَسْحِ عَلَى خِفَافِنَا إِذَا سَافَرْنَا  

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. So I went to him and asked him, and he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set three days and nights for the traveller and one day and night for one who is not travelling.  

عَلَيْكَ بِابْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍفَاسْأَلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَافِرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيَهُنَّ لِلمُسَافِرِ وَيَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً لِلمُقِيمِ  

"I asked 'Aishah about wiping over the leather socks and she said: 'Go to 'Ali and ask him, for he knows more about that than I do.' So I went to 'Ali and asked him about wiping. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah used to tell us that the resident could wipe for one day and one night, and the traveler could do so for three days.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 552)  

ائْتِ عَلِيًّا فَإِنَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ مِنِّي فَأَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَسْحِ؟ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ يَمْسَحَ الْمُقِيمُ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً وَالْمُسَافِرُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ»
