Sayyiduna Safwan bin Assal narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In one narration, these words are mentioned: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted concession for the traveler to wipe over the leather socks for three days. However, the ruling for major ritual impurity (janabah) is different; this ruling is only for defecation, urination, or the passing of wind (i.e., after these, a person may wipe over the leather socks during ablution)." The ruling regarding the passing of wind is mentioned in only one narration.
