حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ قَتَادَةَ بْنَ دِعَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، " أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ تَوَضَّأَ وَتَرَكَ عَلَى قَدَمِهِ مِثْلَ مَوْضِعِ الظُّفْرِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ارْجِعْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَيْسَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ ، وَلَمْ يَرْوِهِ إِلَّا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ وَحْدَهُ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْجَزَرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ،عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، نَحْوَهُ ، قَالَ : ارْجِعْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ .
Anas reported: A person came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He performed ablution and left a small part equal to the space of a nail upon his foot. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Go back and perform ablution well. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not known through Jarir bin Hazim. It was transmitted only by Ibn Wahab. Another version adds the wording: “ Go back and perform the ablution well. ”

Commentary:
If, before the prayer, any part of the limbs of ablution (wudu) is found to be dry, then one should perform ablution again. And if it is discovered after the prayer, then one should perform ablution again and also repeat the prayer, as is explicitly mentioned in the following hadith.

➊ This hadith is clear evidence that washing the entire foot is obligatory.
➋ In another hadith, which Muslim has narrated, it is stated that for whatever part of the foot remains dry, there is fire. [صحيح مسلم، الطهارة، باب وجوب غسل الرجلين بكماله، حديث : 241]
➌ In Abu Dawud, there is also a narration from Khalid bin Ma'dan with the same meaning, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saw a man praying who had a small dry spot on the back of his foot. He ordered him, "Go, first perform ablution (wudu) again, and then pray." [سنن ابي داؤد، الطهارة، باب تفريق الوضوء، حديث : 175]
➍ This and other narrations of the same kind indicate that washing the feet is obligatory; wiping (masah) is insufficient.
➎ In light of these very ahadith, the four Imams, Ahl al-Sunnah, and the mujtahid scholars of the Ummah have unanimously declared washing the feet to be obligatory. Those who do not consider washing the feet obligatory and hold the view of wiping (masah) are refuted by these ahadith.
