Sunan Ibn Majah 556 (Book 1, Hadith 290) #29908
Concession Granted to Travelers by the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet granted a concession to travelers that they can wipe over their leather socks for three days and nights, while the resident could do so for one day and one night.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakrah, from his father, that: The Prophet granted a concession to travelers: "If a traveler performed ablution and put on leather socks, then he performed a fresh ablution, he could wipe over the leather socks for three days and nights; the resident could do so for one day and one night".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَبِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الصَّوَّافُ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُهَاجِرُ أَبُو مَخْلَدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ لِلْمُسَافِرِ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ وَلَبِسَ خُفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ أَحْدَثَ وُضُوءًا أَنْ يَمْسَحَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيَهُنَّ وَلِلْمُقِيمِ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith is about a concession granted by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to travelers who are on a journey. It states that if a traveler performs ablution and puts on leather socks, then he can perform another ablution and wipe over the leather socks for three days and nights. For those who are not traveling but are settled in one place, they can only do this for one day and night. This shows us how merciful our beloved Prophet was towards those who were traveling as it would be difficult to perform ablutions multiple times during their journey due to lack of water or other resources. This hadith also teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions even when we are away from home as Allah is watching us wherever we go.
