Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

( لَا يَمْشِي أَحَدكُمْ فِي النَّعْل الْوَاحِدَة ) : نَفْي بِمَعْنَى النَّهْي , وَفِي رِوَايَة الْبُخَارِيّ لَا يَمْشِ ( لِيَنْتَعِلهُمَا جَمِيعًا أَوْ لِيَخْلَعهُمَا جَمِيعًا ) : أَيْ لِيَلْبَسهُمَا جَمِيعًا أَوْ لِيَنْتَزِعهُمَا جَمِيعًا. قَالَ الْحَافِظ فِي الْفَتْح قَالَ الْخَطَّابِيُّ : الْحِكْمَة فِي النَّهْي أَنَّ النَّعْل شُرِعَتْ لِوِقَايَةِ الرِّجْل عَمَّا يَكُون فِي الْأَرْض مِنْ شَوْك أَوْ نَحْوه فَإِذَا اِنْفَرَدَتْ إِحْدَى الرِّجْلَيْنِ اِحْتَاجَ الْمَاشِي أَنْ يَتَوَقَّى لِإِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ مَا لَا يَتَوَقَّى لِأُخْرَى فَيَخْرُج بِذَلِكَ عَنْ سَجِيَّة مَشْيه وَلَا يَأْمَن مَعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ الْعِثَار. وَقِيلَ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْدِل بَيْن جَوَارِحه وَرُبَّمَا نُسِبَ فَاعِل ذَلِك…

Abu Huraira came to us and he struck his forehead with his hand and said: Behold I you talk amongst yourself that I attribute wrongly to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (certain things) in order to guide you to the right path. In such a case, I would myself go astray. Listen. I bear testimony to the fact…

إِذَا انْقَطَعَ شِسْعُ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلاَ يَمْشِ فِي نَعْلٍ وَاحِدَةٍ حَتَّى يُصْلِحَ شِسْعَهُ وَلاَ يَمْشِ فِي خُفٍّ وَاحِدٍ وَلاَ يَأْكُلْ بِشِمَالِهِ ‏"

Do not walk in one sandal and do not wrap the lower garment round your knees and do not eat with your left hand and do not wrap yourself completely leaving no room for the arms (to draw out) and do not place one of your feet upon the other while lying on your back.

لاَ تَمْشِ فِي نَعْلٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلاَ تَحْتَبِ فِي إِزَارٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلاَ تَأْكُلْ بِشِمَالِكَ وَلاَ تَشْتَمِلِ الصَّمَّاءَ وَلاَ تَضَعْ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْكَ عَلَى الأُخْرَى إِذَا اسْتَلْقَيْتَ ‏"
