3230. It was narrated from Bashīr, حَدَّثَنَا
the freed slave of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ his name during Jāhiliyyah was Zāhm bin Ma'bad, and he emigrated to join the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ who said: "What is your name?" He said: "Zāhm." He said: "No, you are Bashīr." He said: "While I was walking with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, he passed by the graves of some idloaters. He said: 'These people missed out on great goodness' three times. Then he passed by the graves of some Muslims and said: 'These people attained great goodness.' Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saw a man who was walking among the graves wearing shoes. He said: 'O you with the shoes (Sibtīyyatain)[1], woe to you! Take off your shoes.' The man looked, and when he recognized the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, he took off the shoes and threw them away." (Ṣāḥih)

Commentary
As proven from this Hadīth, it is better for anyone walking among the graves to take off his shoes. There must be separate graveyards for Muslims and non-Muslims.
