Chapter on the Description of Ablution (Wudu)

وَ أَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتَ فَامْسَحْ قَدَمَيْكَ ظَاهِرَهُمَا وَبَاطِنَهُمَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ« هَكَذَا» فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى اَلْكَعْبِ وَ ضَرَبَ اَلْأُخْرَى عَلَى بَاطِنِ قَدَمِهِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَهُمَا إِلَى اَلْأَصَابِعِ.
As for the narration reported by Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ʿIsa, from Bakr ibn Ṣalih, from al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn ʿImran, from Zur’ah, from Samaah ibn Mihran, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: "When you perform Wuduʾ, wipe your feet, both their upper and lower surfaces." Then Imam عليه السلام said: "Like this," - placing one hand on the ankle and striking the other on the sole of the foot, then wiping them toward the toes.
