Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: "We were sitting with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) when a funeral passed by, so he stood up and we stood up too. Then we prayed (the funeral prayer), and he took off his shoes. We said: 'O Khalifah of the Messenger, you have taken off your shoes while the people are wearing theirs?' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever walks barefoot in obedience to Allah, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will not ask him on the Day of Resurrection about what He made obligatory upon him."'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) except with this chain; Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Mu'awiyah al-Hadhdha' al-Wasiti is alone in it."
