Washing both feet, and it is not sufficient to pass wet hands over the feet

باب غَسْلِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ وَلاَ يَمْسَحُ عَلَى الْقَدَمَيْنِ

Sahih al-Bukhari 163
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ تَخَلَّفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنَّا فِي سَفْرَةٍ سَافَرْنَاهَا، فَأَدْرَكَنَا وَقَدْ أَرْهَقْنَا الْعَصْرَ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَتَوَضَّأُ وَنَمْسَحُ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا، فَنَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ ‏ ‏‏.‏ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا‏.‏
"‏ وَيْلٌ لِلأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"
`Abdullah bin `Amr:

The Prophet (ﷺ) remained behind us on a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for the `Asr prayer which was overdue and we were just passing wet hands over our feet (not washing them thoroughly) so he addressed us in a loud voice saying twice , "Save your heels from the fire."
