( فِيمَا أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ شَوْذَبٍ الْمُقْرِي، بِوَاسِطٍ، ثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، ثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ قَالَ:
رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا تَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْسَحُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْقَدَمَيْنِ لَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّ أَسْفَلَهُمَا أَوْ بَاطِنَهُمَا أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ

I saw ʿAlī perform ablution and wipe, then he said: "Had I not seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiping over the top of the feet, I would have thought that the bottom of them, or the underside of them, was more deserving of that."

صح عن علي بإسناد صحيح
machine translationIt is authentically reported (ṣaḥīḥ) from ʿAlī with a sound (ṣaḥīḥ) chain of transmission.
in سنن البيهقي الكبرى, p. 1411 - Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī
وكذلك رواه أبو السوداء عن ابن عبد خير عن أبيه وعبد خير لم يحتج به صاحبا الصحيح فهذا وما روي في معناه إنما أريد به قدما الخف بدليل ما مضى وبدليل ما روينا عن خالد بن علقمة عن عبد خير عن علي في وصفه وضوء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر أنه غسل رجليه ثلاثا ثلاثا
machine translationAbū al-Sawdāʾ also narrated it in the same way from Ibn ʿAbd Khayr, from his father. The two authors of the Ṣaḥīḥ collections did not use ʿAbd Khayr as evidence. So this report, and what has been narrated with a similar meaning, only intends the feet covered by the leather socks (khuff), by the evidence of what has preceded, and by the evidence of what we narrated from Khālid b. ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbd Khayr, from ʿAlī, in his description of the ablution of the Prophet ﷺ, where he mentioned that he washed his feet three times each.
in سنن البيهقي الكبرى, p. 1411 - Dāraquṭnī
والصحيح من ذلك قول من قال كنت أرى أن باطن الخفين أحق بالمسح من أعلاهما
machine translationThe correct report in this matter is the statement of the one who said: "I used to think that the underside of the leather socks (khuffayn) was more deserving of wiping than their top."
