حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِأَصْحَابِهِ إِذْ خَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَوَضَعَهُمَا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَی ذَلِکَ الْقَوْمُ أَلْقَوْا نِعَالَهُمْ فَلَمَّا قَضَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ مَا حَمَلَکُمْ عَلَی إِلْقَائِ نِعَالِکُمْ قَالُوا رَأَيْنَاکَ أَلْقَيْتَ نَعْلَيْکَ فَأَلْقَيْنَا نِعَالَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ فِيهِمَا قَذَرًا أَوْ قَالَ أَذًی وَقَالَ إِذَا جَائَ أَحَدُکُمْ إِلَی الْمَسْجِدِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ فَإِنْ رَأَی فِي نَعْلَيْهِ قَذَرًا أَوْ أَذًی فَلْيَمْسَحْهُ وَلْيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 650
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was leading his Companions in prayer, he took off his sandals and laid them on his left side; so when the people saw this, they removed their sandals. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he asked: What made you remove your sandals? The replied: We saw you remove your sandals, so we removed our sandals. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Gabriel came to me and informed me that there was filth in them. When any of you comes to the mosque, he should see; if he finds filth on his sandals, he should wipe it off and pray in them.
