حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ عَنْ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا عَنْ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ فَقَالَتْ سَلْ عَلِيًّا فَإِنَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِهَذَا مِنِّي كَانَ يُسَافِرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْمُسَافِرِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيهِنَّ وَلِلْمُقِيمِ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 748
It was narrated that Shuraih bin Hani' said: I asked 'A'ishah about wiping over the khuff (leather slippers) and she said: Ask 'Ali, for he knows more about that than me; he used to travel with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). So I asked 'Ali (RA) and he said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "For the traveller, three days and nights; for the one who is not travelling., one day and night."
