Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Book 5, Hadith 180

It was narrated that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: I asked `A`ishah about wiping over the khuff (leather slippers) and she said. Ask ‘Ali, for he knows more that than me; he used to travel with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). So I asked ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) and he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: `For the traveller, three days and nights; for the one who is not travelling one day and night.`

A similar report was narrated from ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) from The Prophet (ﷺ)

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ ثُوَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي فَاخِتَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَهْدَى كِسْرَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُ وَأَهْدَى لَهُ قَيْصَرُ فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُ وَأَهْدَتْ لَهُ الْمُلُوكُ فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُمْ‏.‏

Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Book 5, Hadith 180

 
The above hadith is from the Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal collection of hadiths. Compiled by the renowned Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Hanbal, the Musnad is a monumental hadith collection distinguished by its unique organizational structure. Unlike other major collections arranged by topic, the Musnad is organized according to the names of the Prophet Muhammad’s companions. This means each section is dedicated to a specific companion, grouping all the narrations they transmitted together. This method offers valuable insights into the Prophet’s teachings as passed down through his closest followers. While the collection is highly respected for its overall authenticity and vast scope, scholars note that it includes narrations of varying strength, and some feature weaker chains of transmission that require expert analysis.
