حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ نَبْهَانَ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَنْتَعِلَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَرَوَى عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّقِّيُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَكِلاَ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ لاَ يَصِحُّ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ . وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ نَبْهَانَ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُمْ بِالْحَافِظِ وَلاَ نَعْرِفُ لِحَدِيثِ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَصْلاً .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: "The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Prohibited That A Man Should Put On Sandals While He Is Standing." [Abu 'Eisa Said:] This Hadith Is Hasan Gharib. 'Ubaidullah Bin 'Amr Ar-Raqqi Reported This Hadith From Ma'Mar, From Qatadah, From Anas. Both Of The Ahadith Are Not Correct According To The People Of Hadith. Al-Harith Bin Nabhan Is Not A Hafiz According To Them, And We Do Not Know Any Basis For The Narration Of Qatadah From Anas.

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1775
This Hadith reports from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم prohibited a man from putting on sandals while standing. The core topic is sandal etiquette. However, the text also includes an important Hadith grading discussion. Abu Eisa says this Hadith is Gharib and then mentions that both this report and another route are not correct according to the people of Hadith. He also states that Al-Harith bin Nabhan was not considered a Hafiz by them, and that the narration of Qatadah from Anas had no known basis. So the explanation must include both the wording and the caution found in the Hadith text.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report mentions not putting on sandals while standing.
- The narration includes a clear caution about its correctness.
- Hadith scholars examined both wording and chains.
- Readers should not ignore Abu Eisa’s grading comments.
