مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 907

It was narrated that Shuraih bin Hani' said: I asked 'A'ishah about wiping over the khuffain [leather slippers]. She said: Go to 'Ali (RA), for he knows more about that than me. So I went to 'Ali (RA) and asked him about wiping over the khuffain. He said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to tell us to wipe over the khuffain for one day and night, and for the traveller it is three [days and nights].
