Sunan Ibn Majah 1037 (Book 5, Hadith 235) #30389
Praying in Sandals - A Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) praying in his sandals and how his companion, Aws, followed suit.

It was narrated that Ibn Abu Aws said: "My grandfather, Aws, used to perform prayer, and sometimes he would make a gesture while praying, and I would give him his sandals. He said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah performing prayer in his sandals.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ جَدِّي أَوْسٌ يُصَلِّي فَيُشِيرُ إِلَىَّ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَأُعْطِيهِ نَعْلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يُصَلِّي فِي نَعْلَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a companion of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, named Aws. He used to pray and sometimes he would make a gesture while praying. His grandson noticed this and asked him why he was doing it. He said that he saw the Messenger of Allah performing prayer in his sandals. This shows us that it is permissible to pray with one's sandals on as long as they are clean and not made from leather or fur from an animal that has been sacrificed for other than Allah's sake. It also teaches us that we should follow the example of our beloved prophet whenever possible as it will bring us closer to Allah and increase our reward in Jannah insha'Allah!
