Is it established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped his neck during wudu, or that any of his Companions did so?

The Shaykh : It is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) that he wiped his neck during wudu, or that any of his Companions did so? This is the first question.
The answer is: No authentic hadith has come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) stating that he wiped his neck or encouraged doing so. Rather, authentic hadiths have come in al-Bukhari, Muslim, and others from a group of the Messenger’s (peace be upon him) Companions describing his wudu (peace and blessings be upon him), and none of them mentioned at all that he (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped his neck. Therefore, the correct school among the schools followed today in this issue is the school of Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him), who does not consider wiping the neck to be prescribed, because it is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
As for the hadith: "Wiping the neck is a safety from the chains on the Day of Resurrection," it is a fabricated hadith, as I had previously clarified in the early parts of my book "Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Da'ifah" (The Chain of Weak Hadiths). As for whether this was reported from any of his Companions (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him), that is something we do not know.
