ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِمَنْ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ لِلصَّلَاةِ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ فِي نَعْلَيْهِ وَيَمْسَحَ الْأَذَى عَنهُمَا إِنْ كَانَ بِهِمَا

[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."  

ابن حبّان:٢١٨٥أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

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»

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.

[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.
