Hadith 160

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ عَبَّادٌ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَوْسُ بْنُ أَبِي أَوْسٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى نَعْلَيْهِ وَقَدَمَيْهِ " ، وَقَالَ عَبَّادٌ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى كِظَامَةَ قَوْمٍ يَعْنِي الْمِيضَأَةَ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مُسَدَّدٌ الْمِيضَأَةَ وَالْكِظَامَةَ ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا ، فَتَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى نَعْلَيْهِ وَقَدَمَيْهِ .
Narrated Aws ibn Abu Aws ath-Thaqafi: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution and wiped over his shoes and feet. Abbad (a sub-narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the well of a people. Musaddad did not mention the words Midat (a place where ablution is performed), and Kazamah (well). Then both agreed on the wording: "He performed ablution and wiped over his shoes and feet. "

Benefit:
➊ On the condition of authenticity (as Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has declared it authentic), this narration is to be understood in light of the previous narration. That is, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wiped over the socks (jurabayn) and shoes. And "wiping over the feet" refers to the situation in which socks were being worn. Ibn Qudamah rahimahullah states that apparently it seems that he wiped over the strap of the shoes or sandals, which is on the upper part of the foot.
