Hadith 749
عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْسَحُ عَلَى ظُهُورِ الْخُفَّيْنِ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: قَالَ أَبِي: حَدَّثَنَاهُ سُرَيْجٌ وَالْهَاشِمِيُّ أَيْضًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over the backs of the leather socks.
Hadith 750
عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّ بَاطِنَ الْقَدَمَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِالْمَسْحِ مِنْ ظَاهِرِهِمَا حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْسَحُ ظَاهِرَهُمَا
Sayyiduna Ali bin Abu Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) says: My opinion was that wiping over the lower part of the foot had more right than wiping over the upper part, until I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over the upper part.
Hadith 751
عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ ظَهْرَ قَدَمَيْهِ وَقَالَ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْسِلُ ظُهُورَ قَدَمَيْهِ لَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ بُطُونَهُمَا أَحَقُّ بِالْغُسْلِ
Abd Khair says: I saw Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) wiping over the upper part of the foot and he said: If I had not seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over the outer part of the foot, I would have thought that the underside of the foot was more deserving of being wiped.
