2050. It was narrated that Bashîr bin Al-Khaṣāṣiyyah said: "I was walking with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he passed by the graves of the Muslims and said: 'They died before a great deal of evil came to them.' Then he passed by the graves of the idolators and said: 'They died before a great deal of good came to them.' Then he turned, and he saw a man walking between the graves in his sandals and he said: 'O you with the Sibtiyah sandals, take them off.'" (Saḥīḥ)
2048 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ وَكَانَ ثِقَةً، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ، أَنَّ بَشِيرَ ابْنَ الْخَصَاصِيَةِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَرَّ عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ سَبَقَ هَؤُلَاءِ شَرًّا كَثِيرًا»، ثُمَّ مَرَّ عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ سَبَقَ هَؤُلَاءِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا»، فَحَانَتْ مِنْهُ الْتِفَاتَةٌ، فَرَأَى رَجُلًا يَمْشِي بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ فِي نَعْلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتِيَّتَيْنِ أَلْقِهِمَا»

With this, and the following chapter, Imām An-Nasāʾī argues that it is permissible to walk in the graveyard wearing shoes, but not Sibtiyah, or shoes of untanned leather. And this argumentation is strong.
