Hadith 684
عَنْ سَالِمٍ سَبَلَانَ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا إِلَى مَكَّةَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ بِأَبِي يَحْيَى التَّيْمِيِّ يُصَلِّي بِهَا فَأَدْرَكْنَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ فَأَسَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْوُضُوءَ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ! أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ النَّارِ))
Salim Sablān, may Allah have mercy on him, says: We were traveling towards Makkah Mukarramah with Sayyidah Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her. Sayyidah used to travel with Abu Yahya Taymi, and he would lead her in prayer. One day we met Abdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, and he performed an incomplete ablution. Sayyidah Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said to him: "O Abdur Rahman! Complete your ablution, for I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'Woe to the heels from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection.'"
Hadith 685
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ) عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: تَوَضَّأَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَقَالَتْ: يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ! أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَاقِيبِ مِنَ النَّارِ))
Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: When Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) performed ablution in the presence of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said to him: "O Abdur Rahman! Perform ablution completely, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Woe to the heels (and upper parts of the feet) from the Fire.'"
Hadith 686
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَوْمًا يَتَوَضَّأُونَ فَلَمْ يَمْسَسْ أَعْقَابَهُمُ الْمَاءُ، فَقَالَ: ((وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ، (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: لِلْعَرَاقِيبِ) مِنَ النَّارِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some people who had performed ablution but water had not reached their heels, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Woe to the heels from the Fire."
Hadith 687
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَوْمًا يَتَوَضَّأُونَ وَأَعْقَابُهُمْ تَلُوحُ فَقَالَ: ((وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ، أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some people who had performed ablution, but the dryness of their heels was clearly visible, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Woe to the heels from the Fire! Perform ablution thoroughly."
Hadith 688
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوُهُ

عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ الْهِلَالِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتِي رِبْعِيَّةُ بِنْتُ عَيَاضٍ الْكِلَابِيَّةُ عَنْ جَدِّهَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْكِلَابِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَأَسْبَغَ الطَّهُورَ، وَكَانَتْ هِيَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَتْ أَسْبَغَتِ الطَّهُورَ حَتَّى تَرْفَعَ الْخِمَارَ فَتَمْسَحَ رَأْسَهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubaidah bin Amr Kalabi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing ablution, and he (peace be upon him) would perform ablution completely. On this basis, when Rubaiyyah would perform ablution, she would wash each limb thoroughly, to the extent that she would lift her scarf and wipe her head.
