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.  

أبو داود:٦٥٠حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِأَصْحَابِهِ إِذْ خَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَوَضَعَهُمَا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ الْقَوْمُ أَلْقَوْا نِعَالَهُمْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَتَهُ قَالَ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى إِلْقَائِكُمْ نِعَالَكُمْ قَالُوا رَأَيْنَاكَ أَلْقَيْتَ نَعْلَيْكَ فَأَلْقَيْنَا نِعَالَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ ﷺ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ فِيهِمَا قَذَرًا وَقَالَ إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ فَإِنْ رَأَى فِي نَعْلَيْهِ قَذَرًا أَوْ أَذًى فَلْيَمْسَحْهُ وَلْيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with us one day, and during some of his prayers, he took off his shoes and placed them to his left. When the people saw that, they also took off their shoes. After he finished his prayer, he asked, "What happened? Why did you all take off your shoes?" They replied, "We saw you take off your shoes, so we took off ours." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Gabriel came to me and informed me that there was impurity or harm in them, so I took them off. So when any of you come to the mosque, let him look at his shoes, and if he sees impurity or harm in them, let him wipe them and pray in them." My father did not mention the details of what was in the shoes in this narration.

[Machine] While the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was praying with his companions, he took off his sandals and placed them on his left side. So, they also took off their sandals. When he finished his prayer, he asked them, "What made you take off your sandals?" They replied, "We saw you taking off yours, so we took off ours too." He said, "Verily, Gabriel came to me or someone else came and informed me that there was something harmful or impure on them. So, when any of you come to the mosque, let him flip his sandals. If he sees something harmful, he should shake them off and pray in them."

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم prayed with us, and after he finished praying, he took off his sandals and placed them on his left side. The people also took off their sandals. When he finished his prayer, he asked, "Why did you take off your sandals?" They replied, "We saw you take off yours, so we took off ours." He said, "I did not take them off due to any discomfort, but the angel Gabriel informed me that there was some impurity on them. So, when one of you enters the mosque, let him check his sandals. If there is any impurity on them, he should wipe it off."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed in his sandals, and the people prayed in their sandals. Then he removed his sandals and the people removed their sandals while they were still in prayer. When he finished his prayer, he asked, "What made you throw your sandals in prayer?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, we saw you do so, so we did the same." He said, "Indeed, Jibril (Gabriel), ﷺ , informed me that there was impurity in them. So, when any one of you enters the mosque, let him look at his sandals. If he sees any impurity on them, then he should remove them. If not, then let him pray in them."
