1431 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «صَلَّى يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَجَعَلَ نَعْلَيْهِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ»

[1] "That is the Mushaf (collected copy of the Qur'an) of 'Uthmān." Explanation by Sindī, Ibn Hajar (no. 502, Al-Bukhārī) said: "This proves that there was a specific location for the Mushaf, and it occurs in Muslim with the wording: 'He prayed behind the box.' And it is as if there was a box that the Mushaf was placed in."
Commentary
Offering prayer is permitted in both ways, i.e., with or without the shoes on. (Sunan Ibn Majah: 1038). Should anyone want to put the shoes aside during prayer, he should put them on his left.
