Wiping over his socks and then sleeping for the full duration of wiping

Question
What is the ruling for someone who slept after wiping over his socks for the full duration of wiping?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: His wiping is invalid; because the duration of wiping starts from the beginning of sleep, which nullifies the ablution, so does the wiping. Refer to: Tanweer al-Absar, Al-Durr al-Mukhtar, and Rad al-Mukhtar 1: 185, and Al-Hadiyya al-Alaiyya p. 40, and God knows best.
