Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 1884 — Wiping over the leather socks

Shurayh said: I asked Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) about wiping (over the leather socks). She said: "Ask Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about this, for he knows more about it than I do." I asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to command us that the resident should wipe over the leather socks for one day and one night, and the traveller for three days and three nights."
