بَابُ مَاجَاءَ فِي النَّعَالِ وَلُبْسِهَا وَآدَابِ تَتَعَلَّقُ بِذَلِكَChapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding Sandals, Wearing Them, and Related Etiquette
Hadith 7912
اُردوEn
عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا اسْتَكْثِرُوا مِنَ النِّعَالِ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَا يَزَالُ رَاكِبًا مَا انْتَعَلَ
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say, on the occasion of a battle: Wear shoes frequently, for as long as a person keeps wearing shoes, it is as if he is mounted (riding).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Imam Nawawi has said that a person who walks wearing shoes remains safe from the hardness and roughness of the path, from thorns, and other harmful things, as compared to one who walks barefoot; his feet remain protected, and the hardship and fatigue are lessened. In this regard, in this hadith, such a person has been likened to a mounted rider. Furthermore, it is also understood from this that a traveler should make use of things that assist him during his journey.
