Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The mentioned narration, according to our esteemed researcher, is weak in its chain of transmission, while its meaning is correct because the matters stated in this narration are established from other ahadith.
Most likely for this reason, Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has declared it authentic.
For details, see: (al-Irwa: 1/198, Hadith: 183)
➋
If the feet become impure, then only the feet should be washed; there is no need to repeat the entire ablution (wudu). And if impurity is not apparent, then one should not go to the trouble of washing the feet merely on the basis of doubt about the place being impure.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
This narration is also authentic according to Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, and the matters mentioned in it are also established from other ahadith.
➊ If a person passes over filth and impurity, and afterwards walks on dry ground in such a way that everything is removed, then the body and clothing become pure. However, if the substance (physical presence) remains, then washing is necessary. For leather socks (khuffayn) and shoes, rubbing them on the ground is sufficient.
➋ During prayer, it is not permissible to gather or fold the hair or clothing in a manner that changes their natural state; if they touch the ground, let them do so. However, letting the garment hang (sadl) from the head or shoulders is not permissible; rather, it should be wrapped.
