[Machine] "What brought you here?" I said, "I came in search of knowledge." He said, "We were talking that the angels spread their wings for the seeker of knowledge, pleased with what he seeks." Then I asked him about wiping over the socks. He said, "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and we used to wipe over our socks for three days and nights, and for the resident it is one day and night."

[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»

'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.'"
