حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ قَالَ
رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا تَوَضَّأَ، وَمَسَحَ عَلَى النَّعْلَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَلَ كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي فَعَلْتُ، لَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّ بَاطِنَ الْقَدَمَيْنِ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِالْمَسْحِ مِنْ ظَاهِرِهِمَا
