Musnad Ahmad 1013 (Book 5, Hadith 435) #34661
Wiping Feet in Islam

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

It was narrated 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 their tops.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَأَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّ بَاطِنَ، الْقَدَمَيْنِ أَحَقُّ بِالْمَسْحِ مِنْ ظَاهِرِهِمَا حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَمْسَحُ ظَاهِرَهُمَا‏.‏
