وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، ثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَفْلَحَ مَوْلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ؓ
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْمَسْحِ، وَكَانَ هُوَ يَغْسِلُ قَدَمَيْهِ قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ: كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُ بِالْمَسْحِ ؟ فَقَالَ: « بِئْسَمَا لِي إِنْ كَانَ مَهْنَاهُ لَكُمْ، وَإِثْمُهُ عَلَيَّ ; قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُهُ وَيَأْمُرُ بِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ حُبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الْوُضُوءُ

✧ He used to command wiping, but he himself used to wash his feet. He said: It was said to him about that: How is it that you command wiping? He said: "How bad it would be for me if its benefit were for you and its sin upon me! I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do it and command it, but ablution has been made beloved to me."
