Reason for Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ordering us to occasionally walk barefoot

Have the commentators of Hadith given a reason as to why Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ordered us to walk barefoot occasionally?

Answer:

Mulla ‘Ali Al Qari (rahimahullah) cites three reasons as to why Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ordered us to walk barefoot occasionally :

  1. To create humility within a person
  2. To break one’s ego
  3. To become accustomed to it as sometimes a person will be forced to walk barefoot

(Mirqat, vol. 8 pg. 291, Hadith: 4449)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
