Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَلْقَمَةَ فَهُوَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَتَى أَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَحَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى تَقَدَّمْ
يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَإِنَّكَ أَقْدَمُ سِنًّا وَأَعْلَمُ قَالَ لَا بَلْ تَقَدَّمْ أَنْتَ فَإِنَّمَا أَتَيْنَاكَ فِي مَنْزِلِكَ وَمَسْجِدِكَ فَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ قَالَ فَتَقَدَّمَ أَبُو مُوسَى فَخَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَى خَلْعِهِمَا أَبِالْوَادِي الْمُقَدَّسِ أَنْتَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي فِي الْخُفَّيْنِ وَالنَّعْلَيْنِ

حديث علقمة فهو هذا الحديث
English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Hasan ibn Musa, from Zuhayr, from Abu Ishaq, from 'Alqama ibn Qays — [though he did not hear it directly from him; a man asked him about a hadith of 'Alqama, and it is this hadith] — that 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud came to Abu Musa al-Ash'ari at his house, and prayer time arrived. Abu Musa said: "Step forward, O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman — for you are older and more learned." He said: "No, you step forward — for we have come to you in your house and your mosque, so you are more entitled." Abu Musa stepped forward and removed his sandals. When he gave the salam, [Ibn Mas'ud] said: "Why did you remove them? Are you in the Sacred Valley [al-wadi al-muqaddas]? I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray in [leather] socks and sandals."
