[[Kunya]] of Bishr was Abu Nasr and was called "al-hafi" (bare-footed) because he did not wear shoes. | [[Kunya]] of Bishr was Abu Nasr and was called "al-hafi" (bare-footed) because he did not wear shoes. About the reason why he did not wear shoes, they say that, "since he was bare-footed in the meeting he had with Imam al-Kazim (a), he respected that meeting and did not wear shoes later." When he was asked, "why do not you wear shoes?" He answered, "The day I reconciled with [[God]], I was bare-footed and now I feel shy to wear shoes." He also said, "the earth is estate of the [[Truth]] and it is not right to walk on His estate wearing shoes." | ||
Some said that he asked a shoe maker to repair his shoes, but the shoe-maker responded to him with reluctance. Bishr threw away his shoes and [[swear|swore]] that he would never wear shoes again. | Some said that he asked a shoe maker to repair his shoes, but the shoe-maker responded to him with reluctance.
