رَآنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عَلَيَّ نَعْلٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَقَالَ يَا عُبَيْدُ مَا لَكَ وَ لِلنَّعْلِ السَّوْدَاءِ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ فِيهَا ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ تُرْخِي الذَّكَرَ وَ تُضْعِفُ الْبَصَرَ وَ هِيَ أَغْلَى ثَمَناً مِنْ غَيْرِهَا وَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَلْبَسُهَا وَ مَا يَمْلِكُ إِلَّا أَهْلَهُ وَ وَلَدَهُ فَيَبْعَثُهُ اللَّهُ جَبَّاراً.
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Ibn Fazzal, from bureyd Bin Muhammad Al Ghaziry, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saw me, and upon me were black sandals. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Ubeyd! What is it with you and the black sandals. Do you not know that therein are three characteristics – it slackens the manhood, and weakens the vision, and it is more expensive in price than others, and if the man wears it and he does not possess except for his family and his children, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Resurrect him as a tyrant’.
