Sandals - Section 1

Ibn ‘Umar told that he saw God’s messenger wearing sandals which had no hair on them. Bukhari transmitted it.

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَلْبَسُ النِّعَالَ الَّتِي ليسَ فِيهَا شعرٌ. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Anas said the Prophet’s sandal had two thongs. Bukhari transmitted it.

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: إِنَّ نَعْلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم كَانَ لَهَا قبالان

Jabir told that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say on one of his expeditions, “Make a general practice of wearing sandals, for a man keeps riding as long as he wears sandals.” (The meaning is that wearing sandals makes movement easier and protects the feet lrom toughness or thorns on the road. So it is here compared with riding on an animal.) Muslim transmitted it.

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا يَقُولُ: «اسْتَكْثِرُوا مِنَ النِّعَالِ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَا يَزَالُ رَاكِبًا مَا انتعَلَ» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, “When one of you puts on sandals he should put on the right one first and when he takes them off he should take off the left one first, so that the right one should be the first to be put on and the last to be taken off. “ (Bukhari and Muslim.)

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا انْتَعَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالْيُمْنَى وَإِذَا نَزَعَ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالشِّمَالِ لِتَكُنِ الْيُمْنَى أَوَّلَهُمَا تُنْعَلُ وَآخِرَهُمَا تُنْزَعُ»

He reported God’s messenger as saying, “None of you should walk with one sandal, but should walk barefoot or wear a pair.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَمْشِي أَحَدُكُمْ فِي نعلٍ واحدةٍ ليُحفيهُما جَمِيعًا أَو لينعلهما جَمِيعًا»

Jabir reported God’s messenger as saying, “When the thong of a man’s sandal is cut off he should not walk with one sandal till he repairs his thong ; he should not walk with one shoe, or eat with his left hand, or support himself when sitting with a single garment wrapped round his knees, or wrap himself up completely leaving no opening for the arms.” Muslim transmitted it.

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا انْقَطَعَ شِسْعُ نَعْلِهِ فَلَا يَمْشِ فِي نَعْلٍ وَاحِدَةٍ حَتَّى يُصْلِحَ شِسْعَهُ وَلَا يَمْشِ فِي خُفٍّ وَاحِدٍ وَلَا يأكلْ بِشمَالِهِ وَلَا يجتبي بِالثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ وَلَا يَلْتَحِفِ الصَّمَّاءَ» . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ

Ibn ‘Abbas said God’s messenger’s sandal had two thongs, their straps being doubled. Tirmidhi transmitted it.

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ لِنَعْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِبَالَانِ مُثَنًّى شراكهما. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ

Jabir said God's messenger forbade that a man should put on sandals while standing. Abu Dawad transmitted it, and Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it on Abu Huraira’s authority.

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَنْتَعِلَ الرَّجُلُ قَائِمًا. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَرَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

Al-Qasim b. Muhammad quoted ‘A’isha as saying the Prophet (ﷺ) often walked wearing one sandal. A version says she walked wearing one sandal. Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is sounder

وَعَن القاسمِ بن محمَّدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: رُبَّمَا مَشَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَعْلٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: أَنَّهَا مَشَتْ بِنَعْلٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا أصحُّ

Ibn Abbas said it is part of the <i>sunna</i> that when a man sits down he should take off his sandals and place them at his side. Abu Dawud transmitted it.

وَعَن ابنِ عبَّاسٍ قَالَ: مِنَ السُّنَّةِ إِذَا جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَخْلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَيَضَعَهُمَا بِجَنْبِهِ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ

Ibn Buraida told on his father’s authority that the Negus presented the Prophet (ﷺ) with two plain black shoes and he wore them. Ibn Majah transmitted it, and Tirmidhi added on Ibn Buraida's authority quoting his father’s authority, that he then performed ablution and wiped over them.

وَعَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ النَّجَاشِيَّ أَهْدَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُفَّيْنِ أَسْوَدَيْنِ سَاذَجَيْنِ فَلَبِسَهُمَا. رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ. وَزَادَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ: ثمَّ تَوَضَّأ وَمسح عَلَيْهِمَا هَذَا الْبَاب خَال من الْفَصْل الثَّالِث
