Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَنْتَ نَهَيْتَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَصُومُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ لَا لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ غَيْرَ أَنِّي وَرَبِّ هَذِهِ الْحُرْمَةِ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا يَصُومَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا فِي أَيَّامٍ يَصُومُهُ فِيهَا فَجَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَنْتَ نَهَيْتَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا فِي نِعَالِهِمْ قَالَ لَا لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ غَيْرَ أَنِّي وَرَبِّ هَذِهِ الْحُرْمَةِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي إِلَى هَذَا الْمَقَامِ وَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ نَعْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَهُمَا عَلَيْهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Affan narrated to us, he said: Abu Awanah narrated to us, he said: Abd al-Malik ibn Umayr narrated to us, from a man from Banu al-Harith ibn Ka'b, who said: I was sitting with Abu Hurayrah when a man came and asked him: 'O Abu Hurayrah, did you prohibit people from fasting on Friday?' He said: 'No, by the life of Allah, except that by the Lord of this sanctuary, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: None of you should fast on Friday unless it falls within days that he regularly fasts.' Then another man came and said: 'O Abu Hurayrah, did you prohibit people from praying in their sandals?' He said: 'No, by the life of Allah, except that by the Lord of this sanctuary, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) praying toward this station with his sandals on, and then he left with them still on (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).'
