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 :
- To create humility within a person
- To break one’s ego
- To become accustomed to it as sometimes a person will be forced to walk barefoot
(Mirqat, vol. 8 pg. 291, Hadith: 4449)
See the Hadith references here.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
