طَلْحَةُ بْنُ مُصَرِّفٍ، عَنْ زِرٍّ

[Machine] Indeed, whatever He does, no one else can do except for Him. Whenever you make wudu, the angels spread their wings in approval of what you are doing. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have come to ask you about wiping over the socks." He said, "Indeed, I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if I could wipe over the socks, and he said, 'Yes, there are three things for the traveler that should not be removed: urine, feces, and sleep. And for the resident, one day.'"

[Machine] "What's wrong with you?" I said, "I am seeking knowledge." He replied, "For I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Verily, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge, pleased with what he does.' So I asked him about wiping over the two socks, and he said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to wipe over three (things) when we travel, and a day and a night when we stay, without removing them due to defecation, urination, or sleep, but rather due to sexual impurity.'"

مَا غَدَا بِكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ ابْتِغَاءَ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ رِضًا بِمَا يَصْنَعُ» فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ فَقَالَ «أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَمْسَحَ ثَلَاثًا إِذَا سَافَرْنَا وَيَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً إِذَا أَقَمْنَا وَلَا نَنْزِعُهُمَا مِنْ غَائِطٍ وَلَا بَوْلٍ وَلَا نَوْمٍ وَلَكِنْ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ»

[Machine] What brought you here? I said, I came to seek knowledge. He said, I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whenever a person goes out of his house in search of knowledge, the angels lower their wings in approval of what he is doing." I said, I came to ask you about wiping over the socks. He said, Yes, we were in the army that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent. He commanded us to wipe over the socks when we put them on while in a state of purity three times, even if we were traveling and did not remove them due to feces or urine.

[Machine] "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to ask him about wiping over the socks. So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I came to ask you about knowledge.' He said, 'Verily, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge, satisfied with what he seeks.' 'And what knowledge do you ask about?' I said. 'O Prophet of Allah, I ask about wiping over the socks,' he said. 'Yes, there is one day and night for the resident and three for the traveler, from defecation or urination, then he renews ablution.'"
