It is narrated from Abu Razin (may Allah have mercy on him) that I saw Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) striking his forehead with his hand, and he was saying: O people of Iraq! Do you think that I would lie against the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? Would there be pleasure and comfort for you and sin upon me? I bear witness that I certainly heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When the strap of any one of you (his shoe) breaks, he should not walk in the other (single) shoe until he has fixed it."
