Sunan Abi Dawud 4160 (Book 35, Hadith 2) #24450
Moderation in Luxury & Going Barefoot

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man from the companions of the Prophet travelling to Fudalah ibn Ubayd in Egypt and discussing a tradition they both heard from the Messenger of Allah. The man was surprised to see Fudalah dishevelled and unshod, but he explained that this was due to the Prophet's commandment not to indulge in luxury and go barefoot at times.

Abdullah ibn Buraydah said: A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ travelled to Fudalah ibn Ubayd when he was in Egypt. He came to him and said: I have not come to you to visit you. But you and I heard a tradition from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I hope you may have some knowledge of it. He asked: What is it? He replied: So and so. He said: Why do I see you dishevelled when you are the ruler of this land? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has forbidden us to indulge much in luxury. He said: Why do I see you unshod? He replied: The Prophet ﷺ used to command us to go barefoot at times.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ الْمَازِنِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَحَلَ إِلَى فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ وَهُوَ بِمِصْرَ فَقَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ آتِكَ زَائِرًا وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ حَدِيثًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عِنْدَكَ مِنْهُ عِلْمٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَمَا لِي أَرَاكَ شَعِثًا وَأَنْتَ أَمِيرُ الأَرْضِ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَنْهَانَا عَنْ كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الإِرْفَاهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَا لِي لاَ أَرَى عَلَيْكَ حِذَاءً قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَحْتَفِيَ أَحْيَانًا
