The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You may wear trousers and also tie the waist-wrapper, but do oppose the People of the Book. We said: O Messenger of Allah! The People of the Book wear socks but do not wear shoes? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You should wear socks and also wear shoes, and thus oppose the People of the Book.

When that water is brought near to him, he will feel disgust for it. When it is brought even closer, his face will burn and the hair of his head will fall off. And when he swallows that water, his intestines will be cut to pieces until that water comes out from his anus.
