حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي السَّوْدَاءِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ
رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا تَوَضَّأَ، فَغَسَلَ ظُهُورَ قَدَمَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَغْسِلُ ظُهُورَ قَدَمَيْهِ، لَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ بُطُونَهُمَا أَحَقُّ بِالْغَسْلِ
