Hajjaj ibn Minhal and Abu al-Nu`man narrated to us, saying: Hammad ibn Salama narrated to us, on the authority of Abu Naama al-Saadi, on the authority of Abu Nadra, on the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khudri said: While the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was leading his Companions in prayer, he took off his shoes and placed them on the to his left, so they took off their shoes. When he finished his prayer, he said: “What made you throw off your shoes?” They said: We saw you took off, so we took off. He said: “Indeed Gabriel came to me or came and told me that there was harm or filth in them, so when one of you comes to the mosque, he should turn on his shoes, and if he sees There is harm in them, so let him apply water and pray in them.”
