One who prays while having impurity on him that he does not know about

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: A man prayed the obligatory prayer, and after he finished the taslim, he found impurity on one of his feet. Is his prayer valid?
A3: If a Muslim finds impurity on his garment or his body after he has finished
the prayer, he does not repeat it if he did not know about it until after the prayer, or if he knew about it and then forgot it and did not remember it until after the prayer; based on the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said: While God’s Messenger was leading his companions in prayer he took off his sandals and laid them at his left side; so when the people saw that, they removed their sandals. When he had finished his prayer he asked, "What made you remove your sandals? They replied, “We saw you remove yours, so we removed ours.” God’s Messenger then said, “Gabriel came to me and informed me that there was filth on them. When any of you comes to the mosque he should examine, and if he sees filth on his sandals he should wipe it off and pray in them.” Abu Dawud and Darimi transmitted it.بينما رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يصلي بأصحابه إذ خلع نعليه فوضعهما عن يساره ، فلما رأى ذلك القوم ألقوا نعالهم ، فلما قضى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - صلاته قال : ما حملكم على إلقائكم نعالكم ؟ قالوا : رأيناك ألقيت نعليك فألقينا نعالنا ، فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - : إن جبريل - صلى الله عليه وسلم - أتاني فأخبرني أن فيهما قذرا وقال : إذا جاء أحدكم إلى المسجد فلينظر فإن رأى في نعليه قذرا أو أذى فليمسحه وليصل فيهما
Mishkat al-Masabih 766
. It was narrated by Abu Dawud , and Ahmad , and others, with a valid chain. And his saying in the hadith: "and he said" means: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
