حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، - قَالَ عَبَّادٌ - قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَوْسُ بْنُ أَبِي أَوْسٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم

تَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى نَعْلَيْهِ وَقَدَمَيْهِ ‏.‏

Narrated Aws ibn AbuAws ath-Thaqafi:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed ablution and wiped over his shoes and feet.

Abbad (a sub-narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to the well of a people. Musaddad did not mention the words Midat (a place where ablution is performed), and Kazamah (well). Then both agreed on the wording:"He performed ablution and wiped over his shoes and feet."

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 160).

Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

بَاب كَذَا فِي أَكْثَرِ النُّسَخ , وَهَكَذَا فِي مُخْتَصَر الْمُنْذِرِيِّ , وَلَيْسَ فِي بَعْض النُّسَخ لَفْظ الْبَاب. ( أَتَى عَلَى كِظَامَة قَوْم ) : بِكَسْرِ الْكَاف وَفَتْح الظَّاء الْمُخَفَّفَة. قَالَ اِبْن الْأَثِير فِي النِّهَايَة : هِيَ كَالْقَنَاةِ وَجَمْعُهَا كَظَائِم , وَهِيَ آبَار تُحْفَر فِي الْأَرْض مُتَنَاسِقَة وَيُخْرَق بَعْضهَا إِلَى بَعْض تَحْت الْأَرْض فَيَجْتَمِع مِيَاههَا جَارِيَة ثُمَّ يَخْرُج عِنْد مُنْتَهَاهَا فَيَسِيح عَلَى وَجْه الْأَرْض , وَقِيلَ هِيَ السِّقَايَة. اِنْتَهَى. وَقَالَ اِبْن الْأَثِير فِي جَامِع الْأُصُول : هِيَ آبَار تُحْفَر وَيُبَاعَد مَا بَيْنهَا ثُمَّ يُحْفَر مَا بَيْن كُلّ بِئْرَيْنِ بِقَنَاةٍ يُؤَدِّي الْمَاء مِنْ الْأُولَى إِلَى مَا يَلِيهَا حَ…

I was with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) when he arrived at the dump of some people and passed urine while standing. I stepped aside, but he said: "Draw near." So, I drew near until I stood behind his heels, and he performed ablution and wiped over his leather socks.
