It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took off his sandals while praying, and those praying behind him (peace and blessings be upon him) also took off their sandals. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked (after the prayer): "What made you take off your sandals?" They said: "We saw you (peace and blessings be upon him) taking (them) off, so we took them off too." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) told me that there was filth on one of my two sandals, so I took them off." Then he said: "Do not take off your sandals."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Hamzah except Zuhayr."
