- "Acquire many sandals, for a person remains as if mounted as long as he wears them." Narrated by Muslim (6/153), Abū Dāwūd (4133), Aḥmad (3/337, 360), and al-Khaṭīb in "Tārīkh Baghdād" (3/425) through the route of Abū al-Zubayr from Jābir who said: I heard the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say during a battle we participated in: and he mentioned it.
