(May Allaah be pleased with them), who said that Allaah's Apostle
(sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "Woe to dry heels because of Hellfire.”

the city of Madeenah in the month of Ramadaan 58 years AH, after a life spent
propagating much knowledge that benefited the Ummah. May Allaah be
pleased with her.
The overall meaning is that since taharah (purification) is one of the greatest
and most important conditions for salaah, improperly doing it will take away
from the salaah. That is why the Prophet (`alayhi salaatu was-salaam)
warned against incompletion or improperly making the purification to the
degree that he gave such a threat regarding improper handling of one of the
parts upon which wudhuu’ is to be made; a threat of Punishment in Hell on
that particular part. Why did the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi was-sallam)
particularize the heels as the part? This is because it was the place where the
wudhuu’ on it was not completed as in the hadeeth referring to this incident.
In the version reported by 'Abdullaah ibn ‘Amr he said: “We returned from
Makkah to Madeenah with the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam), and when we came to some water on the way, some of the people
were in a hurry at the time of the afternoon prayer and performed ablution
hurriedly; and when we reached them, their heels were dry, no water had
touched them. The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘Woe to (dry)
heels, because of Hell-fire. Make your ablution thorough’.” [Muslim]. In
another narration also by 'Abdullaah ibn ‘Amr who said: “The Messenger of
Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) lagged behind us on a journey. We
travelled (back) and we took him; and then came the time of the afternoon
prayer, and as we were going to wipe our feet he (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam) called out: ‘Woe to the heels because of Hell-fire’.” [Muslim]. So this
is the reason behind the hadeeth, and in the version by Abi Hurayrah, he
reported that: “Allaah's Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) saw a man
who did not wash his heel and he remarked: ‘Woe to the heels because of
Hell-Fire’.” [Muslim].

2. There is a warning and a threat as to the one who neglects this
and improperly handles it.
3. Since there is a threat, then negligence regarding this matter is a
major sin.
4. Washing the feet in wudhuu’ is obligatory if they are
uncovered.
5. Affirming the recompense on the actions. The recompense is
related to the kind of action.
