[Machine] "What brings you here?" I said, "I seek knowledge." He said, "Verily, the angels spread their wings for the seeker of knowledge, pleased with what he seeks." I asked him about wiping over the socks, and he said, "We used to wipe over the socks for three days and nights for the traveler, and one day and night for the resident."

[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 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."

[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.'"
