Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَنْبَأَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُخَيْمِرَةَ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا عَنْ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ فَقَالَتْ سَلْ عَلِيًّا فَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهَذَا مِنِّي هُوَ كَانَ يُسَافِرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْمُقِيمِ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ وَلِلْمُسَافِرِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيهِنَّ.
English Translation
It was narrated that Shuraih bin Hani’ said: I asked `A`ishah (may Allah be well pleased with her) about wiping over the khuffain. She said: “Ask Hadrat 'Ali, for he knows more about that than me. He used to travel with the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).” So I asked Hadrat 'Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him) and he said: “The Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated: `For one who is not travelling, one day and night; and for the traveller, three days and nights.`
