How to reconcile the hadith of the man with the two sandals and the prohibition of wearing them in the cemetery with the hadith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Here, it is necessary to remind you of a doubt that often occurs to some people when they hear this last hadith: . They say, and perhaps it is more accurate for us to say: they claim that this hadith is contradicted by one that is more authentic. This is correct, meaning that it is more authentic, but there is no contradiction. What is this more authentic hadith that some claim contradicts that authentic hadith? It is the hadith of Anas ibn Malik in Sahih al-Bukhari, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . So, this hadith clarifies that when people bury their dead and come to the cemeteries wearing their sandals, the proof is that when they leave, that dead person they just buried hears the sound of their sandals as they turn away from him. Our answer to this claim is that this hadith is undoubtedly, as we said earlier, authentic, indeed more authentic than the hadith of the two sandals, but there is absolutely no contradiction between them.
O owner of the two sandals, take off your sandals
يا صاحب السَّبتِيَتَين اخلع نعليكWhen the people leave from burying the dead, he hears the sound of their sandals as they turn away from him
إذا انصرف الناس من دفن الميت ، فإنه ليسمع قرع نعالهم وهم عنه مدبرون
