“I always preferred to wash the under part of the feet until I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiping the upper part of them.  

أبو داود:١٦٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ

مَا كُنْتُ أُرَى بَاطِنَ الْقَدَمَيْنِ إِلاَّ أَحَقَّ بِالْغَسْلِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَمْسَحُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ خُفَّيْهِ
