Musnad Ahmad 943 (Book 5, Hadith 370) #34596
The Importance of Wudoo

SUMMARY: Wudoo is an important part of Islamic practice and should be done thoroughly, including wiping the tops of the feet. Drinking leftover wudoo water whilst standing is also permissible.

It was narrated that 'Abd Khair said: I saw 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) call for water for wudoo’. Then he wiped himself thoroughly with it and wiped the tops of his feet, then he said: This is the wudoo’ of one who has not broken his wudoo’. Then he said: Were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah wipe the tops of his feet, I would have thought that the bottom of the feet were more deserving of being wiped. Then he drank the leftover wudoo’ water whilst standing then he said: Where are those who claim that no one should drink whilst standing?
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ لِيَتَوَضَّأَ فَتَمَسَّحَ بِهِ تَمَسُّحًا وَمَسَحَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَسَحَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَدَمَيْهِ رَأَيْتُ أَنَّ بُطُونَهُمَا أَحَقُّ ثُمَّ شَرِبَ فَضْلَ وَضُوئِهِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَشْرَبَ قَائِمًا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of performing wudoo in Islam. It was narrated by 'Abd Khair that he saw 'Ali call for water for wudoo and then wipe himself thoroughly with it and wipe the tops of his feet. He then said that if he hadn't seen the Messenger of Allah do this himself he would have thought that wiping only the bottom parts was enough. He then drank some leftover wudoo water whilst standing which goes against what some people claim about not drinking whilst standing. This hadith teaches us that we must perform our wudoos properly according to how it has been taught by Prophet Muhammad as well as being mindful about what we say or think without having any proof from Quran or Hadith to back it up. We should also be careful not to waste any resources such as water when performing our ablutions since even a small amount can be used for something beneficial like drinking after performing wudoos while standing up if needed.
