Woe to the heels from the Fire

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a hadith with the meaning of
Woe to the heels because of Hell-fire.ويل للأعقاب من النار
Sunan Ibn Majah 453Sahih (Darussalam)
?

Answer:
Yes, there is a hadith on this matter, and it is authentic. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at a group of people and saw that the water had not reached their heels, so he said, "Woe to the heels from the Fire." He also saw a man who had a spot on his foot the size of a dirham where the water had not reached, so he told him, "Go back and perfect your wudu." It is obligatory to cover the entire limb with water; it is not sufficient for the water to reach only part of the limb while missing another part. The water must flow over the limb that is commanded to be washed; wiping is not sufficient. The water must flow over the limb. Yes.
