I heard Allah's Apostle ﷺ saying during an expedition in which we also participated: Make a general practice of wearing sandals, for a man is riding as it were when he wears sandals. (Using translation from Muslim 2096)
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَوْنَاهَا «اسْتَكْثِرُوا مِنَ النِّعَالِ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَا يَزَالُ رَاكِبًا مَا انْتَعَلَ»
