111. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Amr said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ saw some people whose heels were still dry, so he said: 'Woe to the heels from the Fire. Perform Wudû' properly."''[1] (Sahîh)

Arabic text

111 - أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يِسَافٍ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَوْمًا يَتَوَضَّئُونَ، فَرَأَى أَعْقَابَهُمْ تَلُوحُ فَقَالَ: «وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ»

Commentary

The argumentation over the chapter is that had wiping the feet been permitted, then why is this warning of punishment over the heels remaining dry? Apparently, in the case of wiping, the heels would invariably stay dry. This posits that it is obligatory to wash the feet.
