2.9 The obligation of washing the feet completely

٢۔٩ باب وُجُوبِ غَسْلِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ بِكَمَالِهِمَا

(139) bukhari:60Abū al-Nuʿmān ʿĀrim b. al-Faḍl > Abū ʿAwānah > Abū Bishr > Yūsuf b. Māhak > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr

Once the Prophet ﷺ remained behind us in a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for the prayer which was over-due. We were just passing wet hands over our feet (and not washing them properly) so the Prophet ﷺ addressed us in a loud voice and said twice or thrice: "Save your heels from the fire."  

(١٣٩) البخاري:٦٠حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ عَارِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

تَخَلَّفَ عَنَّا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي سَفْرَةٍ سَافَرْنَاهَا فَأَدْرَكَنَا وَقَدْ أَرْهَقَتْنَا الصَّلاَةُ وَنَحْنُ نَتَوَضَّأُ فَجَعَلْنَا نَمْسَحُ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا فَنَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: «وَيْلٌ لِلأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ!» مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا۔  

(140) bukhari:165Ādam b. Abū Iyās > Shuʿbah > Muḥammad b. Ziyād

I heard Abu Huraira saying as he passed by us while the people were performing ablution from a utensil containing water, "Perform ablution perfectly and thoroughly for Abul-Qasim (the Prophet) said, 'Save your heels from the Hell-fire.' "  

(١٤٠) البخاري:١٦٥حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَكَانَ يَمُرُّ بِنَا وَالنَّاسُ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ مِنَ الْمِطْهَرَةِ قَالَ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ فَإِنَّ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ قَالَ وَيْلٌ لِلأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ
