I did not think except that the lower side of the feet had more right to be washed (than the upper side) until I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wipe over the top of his Khuffs." Waki reported it from Al-Amash with this chain and he said (in it): "I used to think that the bottom of the feet had more right to be wiped than the top part, until I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wipe over the top of them." Waki said: "Meanin the Khuffs. 'Eisa bin Yousus reported from Al-Amash, just as Waki' reported it from Ibn 'Abd Khair from his father, he said: "I saw 'Ali perform Wudu, and he washed the top of his feet, He than said: 'Had I not seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do this (I would not have done it).....'" And he completed the Hadith.
