Imam Qastalani رحمه الله and Imam Salihi رحمه الله, who was a student of Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti رحمه الله, both mention that Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Masud رضي الله عنه, was one of the servants of the Beloved Prophet ﷺ whose sandals he would cary.
When the Prophet ﷺ rose, Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Masud رضي الله عنه would put the blessed sandals on his sacred feet, and when the Prophet ﷺ sat down, Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Masud رضي الله عنه would carry the blessed sandals in his arms until he rose again.
[Imam Qastalani’s Mawahib al-Laduniyya; Imam Salihi’s Subul al-Huda wal Rashad]
Also reported by Imam Qastalani رحمه الله that, Sayyidina Abu Ishaq al-Zuhri who was one of the Tabi’een, reports that Sayyidina Qasim ibn Muhammad (ibn Abu Bakr Siddiq) (may the blessing of Allah be upon them) said,
“Of the proven blessing of the likeness of the Prophet’s ﷺ sandal is that, whoever has it in his possession for tabarruk will be safeguarded by it from the sedition of rebels and the mastery of enemies, and it will be a barrier against every devil and the evil eye of the envious.
If a pregnant woman holds it in her right hand during labour, her delivery will be easier by Allah’s Power.”
Imam al-Zarqani رحمه الله states,
“If possible, kiss the dust that has been touched by the sandals, otherwise, kiss an image of the sandals.”
[Sharh al-Zarqani ‘ala’l Mawahib, 5:48]
