163 — Muhammad ibn Rāfiʿ narrated to us, Yaḥyā ibn Ādam narrated to us, Yazīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, with this ḥadīth. He said:

"I had not thought that the inner part of the feet was more deserving of washing, until I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiping over the upper part of his khuffs."

164 — Muhammad ibn al-ʿAlāʾ narrated to us, Ḥafṣ ibn Ghiyāth narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, with this ḥadīth. He said:

= Al-Bayhaqī also recorded it in 1/292, and Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr in al-Tamhīd 11/150, via the author's chain of transmission.
Al-Dāraquṭnī recorded it in (769), (770), and (783), al-Bayhaqī in 1/292, and al-Baghawī in Sharḥ al-Sunnah (239), via multiple paths from Ḥafṣ ibn Ghiyāth, with it.
See also the narrations that follow after it.

(1) Its chain of transmission is sound.
Al-Bayhaqī recorded it in 1/292 via the author's chain of transmission.
Al-Bazzār recorded it in (789) via Muḥāḍir ibn Muwarriʿ, from al-Aʿmash, with it.
Al-Dārimī recorded it in (715), Aḥmad in (1264), al-Bazzār in (794), and al-Bayhaqī in 1/292 via Yūnus; al-Dāraquṭnī in 4/47 via Sufyān al-Thawrī; and al-Bayhaqī in 1/292 via Ibrāhīm ibn Ṭahmān — both of the latter from Abū Isḥāq, with it.

His statement "the inner part of the feet" — by "the feet" he meant the khuffs, as in the aforementioned narration of Ḥafṣ, and as Wakīʿ said in his narration that follows shortly, and because of his statement at the end of this very narration: "wiping over the upper part of his khuffs." Al-Bayhaqī said: "What was meant by it is the feet of the khuff, as evidenced by what has preceded — meaning the narration of Ḥafṣ — and by what we have narrated from Khālid ibn ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbd Khayr, from ʿAlī, in his description of the ablution of the Prophet ﷺ, in which he mentioned that he washed his feet three times each." We say: see the ḥadīth of Khālid ibn ʿAlqamah in the author's work, no. (111).
