Arabic hadith text

وَعَن صَفْوَان بن عَسَّال قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُنَا إِذَا كُنَّا سَفَرًا أَنْ لَا نَنْزِعَ خِفَافَنَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيَهُنَّ إِلَّا مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَائِطٍ وَبَوْلٍ وَنَوْمٍ. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَالنَّسَائِيّ

Translation

Ṣafwān ibn ʿAssāl said: ‘When we traveled, the Messenger of Allah instructed us not to remove our khuffs for three days and nights except in the case of sexual impurity; not for defecation, urination, or sleep.’ Al-Tirmidhī and al-Nasāʾī transmitted it.
