Sunan Ibn Majah 458 (Book 1, Hadith 192) #29810
Wiping Feet During Ablution

SUMMARY: Ibn 'Abbas asked Rubai' about a hadith she narrated regarding the Prophet's ablution and washing of his feet. Ibn 'Abbas said that there is no mention of washing feet in the Quran, only wiping them.

It was narrated that Rubai' said: "Ibn 'Abbas came to me and asked me about this Hadith" meaning the Hadith, that she had narrated, saying that the Messenger of Allah performed ablution and washed his feet".Ibn 'Abbas said: 'The people are insisting on washing their feet, but I do not find anything in the Qur'an except (the injunction to) wipe them'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ رَوْحِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنِ الرُّبَيِّعِ، قَالَتْ أَتَانِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، - تَعْنِي حَدِيثَهَا الَّذِي ذَكَرَتْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ تَوَضَّأَ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ - فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ النَّاسَ أَبَوْا إِلاَّ الْغَسْلَ وَلاَ أَجِدُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الْمَسْحَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow instructions from Qur'an and Hadith accurately ; Be mindful of religious practices ; Perform ablutions before prayer .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the importance of performing ablution before prayer. The Prophet Muhammad performed ablution by washing his face, hands, arms, head and feet. However, according to this hadith, when it comes to wiping one's feet during ablution there is no mention of it in the Quran; instead one should only wipe their feet with wet hands or a cloth. This shows us that we should be careful not to add any extra steps or rituals to our religious practices which are not mentioned in the Quran or Hadith as this can lead us astray from true Islamic teachings.
