It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) praying in his sandals, and sometimes he (peace and blessings be upon him) would take them off."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ja'far (may Allah have mercy on him) except Isma'il (may Allah have mercy on him)."
