452 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: رَأَتْ عَائِشَةُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ، فَقَالَتْ: أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَاقِيبِ مِنَ النَّارِ»

The Hadith contains the word 'Arâqib', which is the plural of 'Urqub' meaningthe back part of the ankle joint which is above the heel. It is thus clear thatthe feet must be washed along with the ankle joints and their back.
