Hadith 1416
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، وَأَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِأَصْحَابِهِ إِذْ خَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَوَضَعَهُمَا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَخَلَعُوا نِعَالَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ، قَالَ: "مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى إِلْقَائِكُمْ نِعَالَكُمْ ؟"قَالُوا: رَأَيْنَاكَ خَلَعْتَ فَخَلَعْنَا، قَالَ: "إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَانِي أَوْ أَتَى فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ فِيهِمَا أَذًى أَوْ قَذَرًا، فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمْ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَلْيُقَلِّبْ نَعْلَيْهِ، فَإِنْ رَأَى فِيهِمَا أَذًى، فَلْيُمِطْ وَلْيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا".
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was once praying with his companions when he suddenly took off his sandals and placed them to his left. When the companions saw this, they also took off their sandals. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he said: "What made you take off your sandals?" They replied: "We saw you take off your sandals, so we also took ours off." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) came to me," or he said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) came and informed me that there was impurity on my sandals (so I took them off). Therefore, when any of you comes to the mosque, he should turn his sandals over and look at them. If he sees any impurity or filth on them, he should remove it, and then he may pray wearing them."
Brief Explanation
(Explanation of Hadiths 1414 to 1416)
From these hadiths, it is understood that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to pray while wearing shoes.
Therefore, performing prayer while wearing shoes is correct and permissible without any dislike, provided that there is no impurity on them. To say that "na'l" was a specific type of shoe for the Arabs and that prayer is not permissible in common shoes, even if they are clean and pure, is not correct according to the evidences. Likewise, it is also not correct to say that praying while wearing shoes is to imitate the Jews, because the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Oppose the Jews, for they do not pray in their shoes and socks." [أبوداؤد 652].
