It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he prayed on a rug and said: "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also prayed on a rug." This hadith is sahih (authentic); the two Shaykhs used its narrators as evidence, but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you prays, let him pray wearing his sandals or place them between his feet, and let him not cause harm to anyone else with them." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Sa'ib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the year of the Conquest of Makkah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) led the Fajr prayer, and he took off his sandals and placed them on his left side. Imam al-Hakim says: I have cited it as a supporting narration (shahid); the two Shaykhs did not record it.
