البيهقي:١٣٨٨وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ

مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى بَاطِنَ الْقَدْمَيْنِ إِلَّا أَحَقَّ بِالْمَسْحِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْسَحُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ خُفَّيْهِ

I used to think that the bottom of the feet were more deserving of being wiped than the tops, until I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiping the top of his feet. (Using translation from Aḥmad 737)
