Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Abu Dawud narrated to us: Hammam narrated to us, from Qatadah, who said: I asked Anas ibn Malik: ‘What were the sandals of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) like?’ He said: ‘They had two straps.’
Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The English witness begins at Qatadah and omits Muhammad ibn Bashshar, Abu Dawud, and Hammam. The Arabic term qibalan indicates two straps on the sandals.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ،
The English witness omits three transmitters preceding Qatadah in the Arabic chain.
Can the English witness’s abbreviated isnad be confirmed as an intentional editorial choice?
