1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Musa b. ’Umayr from Abdillah b. Jabalah from Hanan b. Sadeer who said: “Why are you wearing black shoes? Do you know its bad consequences?” He asked, “What are its bad effects?” Imam  replied, “It affects eyesight and male prowess and it is a cause of sadness and anger. Further, it is the sign of oppressors. Wear yellow shoes and enjoy its benefits.” He asked, “What are the benefits of wearing them?” Imam  replied, “It improves eyesight and increases male prowess. It ends sadness and anger and it is a part of the dress of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.).”
