حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ، عَنْ كَاتِبِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَسَحَ أَعْلَى الْخُفِّ وَأَسْفَلَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَذَا قَوْلُ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ مِنَ الْفُقَهَاءِ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ مَالِكٌ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَإِسْحَاقُ . وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ مَعْلُولٌ لَمْ يُسْنِدْهُ عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ غَيْرُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا زُرْعَةَ وَمُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالاَ لَيْسَ بِصَحِيحٍ لأَنَّ ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ رَوَى هَذَا عَنْ ثَوْرٍ عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ قَالَ حُدِّثْتُ عَنْ كَاتِبِ الْمُغِيرَةِ مُرْسَلٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ الْمُغِيرَةَ .
AI-Mughirah bin Shu'bah Narrated from:

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 97
This Hadith is about wiping the top and bottom of the khuff. Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah narrates that the Prophet wiped the upper part of the khuff and its bottom. That is the report's wording. However, the Arabic text also includes an important hadith note: Abu Eisa says the Hadith is defective, and he reports that Abu Zur'ah and Muhammad bin Isma'il said it is not authentic because of the way it was transmitted. For that reason, this Hadith should be presented carefully. People search this as wipe bottom of khuff Hadith, top and bottom khuff wudu, and Mughirah khuff narration. The safe explanation is to state the report and also mention the weakness note included in the same text.
What we learn from this hadith
- The wording says the top and bottom of the khuff were wiped.
- The same text records criticism of the report's chain.
- A Hadith explanation should include important notes found in the narration.
- Readers should be careful before treating a weakly noted report as a stand-alone rule.
