Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding wiping over the socks. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For the traveler, three days and three nights, and for the resident, one day and one night." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) This narration has been transmitted as a marfu' hadith from Shu'bah only by Yahya al-Qattan and Abu Walid Tayalisi.
