Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from his father that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the traveler to wipe over the socks for three days and three nights, and the resident for one day and one night. "When a person puts on the socks after performing ablution, he can wipe over them during this period." The narrator named Abu Ash'ath states: "A traveler can wipe over them for three days and three nights, while a resident can do so for one day and one night."

This narration is also transmitted with another chain of transmission.
