مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 749

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."
