"‏ ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ - أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ - وَلَيَالِيهِنَّ لِلْمُسَافِرِ فِي الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ ‏"

It was narrated from Khuzaimah bin Thabit that:

The Prophet said: "Three days." I think he said, "And three nights during which the traveler may wipe over his leather socks."

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 554) and Ahmad (No. 20851).
