Question
I have seen many Shia Muslims who start ablution (WUZU) from feet instead of Hands. Does that contradicts the Hadith of Holy Prophet?

Answer
Starting ablution from the feet rather than hands is opposite to the directives of the Qur’an. (refer to 5:6). However the practice you mentioned does not apply to Shia Muslims, as they have no differences with the mainstream Muslims in terms of the order of ablution. Perhaps this is only a misunderstanding.
