ahmad:9467ʿAffān > Abū ʿAwānah > ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿUmayr > a man from Banī al-Ḥārith b. Kaʿb

[Machine] I was sitting with Abu Hurairah when a man came to him and asked him, "O Abu Hurairah, have you forbidden people from fasting on Fridays?" He replied, "No, by the oath of Allah, but I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'None of you should fast on the day of Friday unless he has also fasted on the day before or the day after it.'" Then another man came and asked him, "O Abu Hurairah, have you forbidden people from praying in their shoes?" He replied, "No, by the oath of Allah, but I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying while wearing his shoes, and I also saw him take them off afterwards."  

أحمد:٩٤٦٧حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَنْتَ نَهَيْتَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَصُومُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ قَالَ لَا لَعَمْرُاللهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّ وَرَبِّ هَذِهِ الْحُرْمَةِ وَرَبِّ هَذِهِ الْحُرْمَةِ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَصُومَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا فِي أَيَّامٍ يَصُومُهُ فِيهَا قَالَ فَجَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَنْتَ نَهَيْتَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا فِي نِعَالِهِمْ؟ قَالَ لَا لَعَمْرُ اللهِ غَيْرَ أَنْ وَرَبِّ هَذِهِ الْحُرْمَةِ وَرَبِّ هَذِهِ الْحُرْمَةِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي إِلَى هَذَا الْمَقَامِ وَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ نَعْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَهُمَا عَلَيْهِ
