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.  

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.  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي بَعْضِ صَلَاتِهِ خَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَوَضَعَهُمَا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ خَلَعُوا نِعَالَهُمْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ مَا بَالُكُمْ أَلْقَيْتُمْ نِعَالَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا رَأَيْنَاكَ أَلْقَيْتَ نَعْلَيْكَ فَأَلْقَيْنَا نِعَالَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ فِيهِمَا قَذَرًا أَوْ قَالَ أَذًى فَأَلْقَيْتُهُمَا فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ فِي نَعْلَيْهِ فَإِنْ رَأَى فِيهِمَا قَذَرًا أَوْ قَالَ أَذًى فَلْيَمْسَحْهُمَا وَلْيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا قَالَ أَبِي لَمْ يَجِئْ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بَيَانُ مَا كَانَ فِي النَّعْلِ

So when one of you enters the mosque, let him flip over his sandals and look at them. If he sees any impurity on them, let him touch them to the ground and then pray in them."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فَخَلَعَنَعْلَيْهِ فَخَلَعَ النَّاسُ نِعَالَهُمْ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لِمَ خَلَعْتُمْ نِعَالَكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ خَلَعْتَ فَخَلَعْنَا قَالَ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ بِهِمَا خَبَثًا فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلْيَقْلِبْ نَعْلَهُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ فِيهَا فَإِنْ رَأَى بِهَا خَبَثًا فَلْيُمِسَّهُ بِالْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ لِيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فَخَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَخَلَعَ النَّاسُ نِعَالَهُمْ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ «لِمَ خَلَعْتُمْ نِعَالَكُمْ؟» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ خَلَعْتَ فَخَلَعْنَا قَالَ «إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ بِهِمَا خَبَثًا فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلْيَقْلِبْ نَعْلَيْهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ فِيهِمَا خَبَثٌ فَإِنْ وَجَدَ فِيهِمَا خَبَثًا فَلْيَمْسَحْهُمَا بِالْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ لِيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا»  

[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."  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى خَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَوَضَعَهُمَا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَخَلَعَ الْقَوْمُ نِعَالَهُمْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ «مَا لَكُمْ خَلَعْتُمْ نِعَالَكُمْ؟ » قَالُوا رَأَيْنَاكَ خَلَعْتَ فَخَلَعْنَا قَالَ «إِنِّي لَمْ أَخْلَعْهُمَا مِنْ بَأْسٍ وَلَكِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ فِيهِمَا قَذَرًا فَإِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلْيَنْظُرْ فِي نَعْلَيْهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهِمَا أَذًى فَلْيَمْسَحْهُ»  

[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."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي نَعْلَيْهِ فَصَلَّى النَّاسُ فِي نِعَالِهِمْ ثُمَّ أَلْقَى نَعْلَيْهِ فَأَلْقَى النَّاسُ نِعَالَهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى إِلْقَاءِ نِعَالِكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ فَعَلْتَ فَفَعَلْنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ جَبْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ فِيهَا أَذًى فَإِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلْيَنْظُرْ فَإِنْ رَأَى فِي نَعْلَيْهِ أَذًى وَإِلَّا فَلْيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا  

"إِنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ بَيْنَا هَو يُصَلِّى يَوْمًا خَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ، فَخَلَعَ النَّاسُ نِعَالَهُمْ، فَلَّما انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: مَا شَأنُكُمْ؟ خَلَعْتُمْ نِعَالَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: رَأَيْنَاكَ خَلَعْتَ فَخَلَعْنَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ جِبْريلَ أَتَانِى فَأَخْبَرنِى أَنَّ بِهمَا قَذَرًا، فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمْ الْمسْجِدَ فَليَنْظرْ نَعْلَيْهِ، فإِنْ كَانَ بِهِمَا قَذَرٌ فَليُدلّكهُمَا بِالأَرْضِ".
