Bashir—whose name had been Zahm ibn Ma‘bad—migrated to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The Prophet asked: “What is your name?” He replied: “Zahm.” He said: “Rather, you are Bashir.” Bashir said: As I was walking with the Messenger of Allah, he passed by the graves of the polytheists and said three times: “Much good has passed these people by.” Then he passed by the graves of the Muslims and said three times: “These people have attained much good.” The Prophet’s gaze then fell upon a man walking among the graves wearing two sandals of tanned leather. He said: “O wearer of the two leather sandals, cast off your sandals.” The man looked, and when he saw the Prophet, he removed his sandals and threw them away.
