Musnad Ahmad 917 (Book 5, Hadith 344) #34570
Wiping Feet in Islam

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaching 'Ali (RA) that wiping the top of one's feet is more important than wiping the bottom.

It was narrated from 'Abd Khair that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: I used to think that the bottoms of the feet were more deserving of being wiped than the tops, until I saw the Messenger of Allah wiping the top (of his feet).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّ بَاطِنَ الْقَدَمَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِالْمَسْحِ مِنْ ظَاهِرِهِمَا حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَمْسَحُ ظَاهِرَهُمَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us an important lesson about how to perform ablution, or wudu, in Islam. According to this hadith, it is more important to wipe the top of your feet than the bottom when performing wudu. This was taught by Prophet Muhammad PBUH to his companion Ali RA who initially thought that it was more important to wipe the bottom of his feet first. This shows us that we should always follow what our Prophet PBUH has taught us and not rely on our own opinions or thoughts when it comes to religious matters as they may be incorrect. We should also strive to learn more about our religion so we can practice it correctly and live a life pleasing to Allah SWT.
