hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayidina Muhammad
wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman Kathira
on Isla yo Medina Amma buried
hamdulillah Allah subhanho wa Taala has given us the tofi. To
get to the ninth chapter of this blessing work the Shema ill the
characteristics and features of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam. This is a very short chapter consisting of just two
narrations to hadith is the chapter on the the I mean, I could
say socks but rather it's the leather socks because that's what
it specifically speaks about the hoof. And the hoof is normally a
leather covering of the feet something made out of leather in
the form of the feet. So that's what hoof is, because in Arabic
the word for
any other kind of footwear that is so close, Li snuggling the feet
are such that are not shoes, because shoes are colada and
ascended is called non which we which is the next discussion in
this book, then there is a job. So job refers to most likely socks
that are made from other materials. And the reason why I
have a special is because people use the hoof as footwear. And the
reason is, as you will see from the next chapter about the
sandals, when we say sandals today, we'd rather say slippers,
but sandals and slippers should be the same thing. He just sandals
give an impression of something more bulky, because nowadays we
have these really thick soles and we're talking about slippers then
we talk we're normally indicating thin soles, and really the
Slippers of Rasulullah sallallahu ala some of the footwear, the
general footwear of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam when he wore it,
because sometimes he walked barefoot as well was about two
pieces of leather, two pieces of leather cut in a particular shape,
sewn together with a strap or two straps on top of it, which we will
be discussing. That's essentially the footwear, very flexible, very
flexible. And that's why you'll hear that in one Hadith it says
that he the Prophet sallallahu Sallam used to sometimes even wash
his feet through them while he while keeping them on because it
was possible to do so because they would just dry within the next few
minutes outside anyway.
But a number of things will be established through that, when
we're talking about, sometimes the hoof was used.
Because it was more concerning than this. It was more concealing,
more covering and more protective than just those two pieces of
leather with a strap over it. So hope was actually used like a
footwear. It was like a basic shoe in a sense. That's why the word
hoof exists the way it is, that should give a lot of clarity to
the big discussion about making Messiah and wiping over what kinds
of socks is permissible or not. Because you can understand from
this description of hope that hope was something that was very
covering as opposed to just socks. People don't really walk in socks
around there they walk in shoes or sandals or bare feet, or you find
people walking around in normal socks. And then you have the
normal socks that would have sometimes a leather soul or a
leather top. So there were various different combinations. This
particular chapter deals with the leather socks of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as has been established that he had some
and
what they
what exactly the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did,
how he made masa over them and and so on. That is the discussion here
the author, Imam Timothy decided to keep a separate chapter for
this and separated it from the chapter on the sandals or the
slippers, because this was specific and significant enough to
be able to mention it separately. So let us look let us first read
this, the hadith of this chapter for our narration and our
transmission purpose
and then we'll start Inshallah, an explanation.
Will Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Morbi listener then matassa
elimina Imam Timothy you call a bourbon merger if you hopefully
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will be he call her death

further visa Houma had the heart raka
layer there interview sallallahu alayhi wa sallam other key Yun
Houma amla
called Bucha isa abou is Hawk Harada, who Abu is Huck a che
Bernie what is smooth Sulaiman the first Hadith in this chapter is
from
IGNOU Barreda from his father. He relates essentially herbal
Barreda. Well, the son of Barreda, so bowrider himself. He relates
that Najafi the Joshi is the leader of Abyssinia at that time
the ancient leaders have ever seen used to be called Najafi or Negus
in English. So this Niger she had the hadith is very simple. It just
mentioned that Niger she had gifted to the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, to a pair of a pair of black plain leather socks,
and the prophets of Allah, some wore them. And he made wudu. Then
came the opportunity to do will do because he broke you to do and
then he made Messiah over them.
Now, the reason it's mentioned in this specific way is a number of
things become established by this. Firstly, let's speak about Najafi.
This is the title of the ancient kings of Abyssinia rules of
everything. They tended to be Christian at the time because they
were under generally under the Rome they were kind of semi
independent, maybe but they were with the Romans in general.
Yemen was similar just over the border. Well over the channel, the
Gulf. Yemen was also similarly in and then Yemen came under Islam
first. That's, as you know, that's where the first group and the
second group migrated first, Yemen their leaders used to be called
topbar. Right? Wasn't their name. It was their title. Then you had
for Persia you had Kisara which is called Rose or Khusro. Right? That
was the leaders. They all had the individual names with this title.
Then you had the Pacer of of the Romans, which is the Caesars of
Rome as such. And
Heraclea
was for Sham although that's her Oculus was probably his name and
he was the he was the leader. Then you have Pharaohs for the Copts.
The leaders were called pharaohs, and then you had Egypt had the
disease after the pharaohs disease, and the Turkic tribes of
probably Central Asia, like Howard ism and all of these areas they
leaders will call the heart on
it's a very powerful sounds like a very powerful Hawk on you. Sounds
very powerful. And they were here.
These are all Joe Healy times. This is all pre Islamic times,
most of them. This particular ninja xi this particular Negus,
this leader of Abyssinia who gifted the sorcerer Allah
salAllahu Alaihe Salam, very nice man. His name was US hammer, US
hammer. That was his real name. And
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had sent amrutam Omiya of
Bodhi to him with a letter inviting him to Islam. He became
Muslim in the sixth year of Hijra. And it said about him that he was
a very pious individual, as we know from the other incidents
about the migration about the migration, so when he passed away
on the ninth Hijiri, so three years after that he passed away,
according to the majority of scholars, and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was informed about his death,
divinely, and he told us Sahaba that this is the day when the
Joshi in Abyssinia, Osama has passed away, and they prayed with
him. That was the one instance where the Prophet salallahu alayhi
wa sallam he really did this. But there's one instance where he
prayed janazah
in absent here, because otherwise you hardly ever see it. That the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam prayed without the body
being in front of him. This was one of the only occasions because
of this Imam Shafi allows it for, especially for very pious
individual and so on. If they die, one patient will they could do
janazah. But in Abu Hanifa, Imam, Abu Hanifa Rohingya he doesn't
allow it, because this was a very specific case that Rosa lism did.
The other thing was that he was also the same one where Omar
Habiba, the daughter of Abu Sufyan later who became Muslim, the
sister of malaria, or the Allah she became Muslim very early on
and she migrated to Habesha to Abyssinia, her husband passed away
there. So this Najafi under the proposal of Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam conducted her Nikka to Rasulullah sallallahu SAMHSA
Hanukkah was conducted in Abyssinia to Prophet salallahu
Alaihe Salam, and it's related by Abu Dhabi remember without from
Asia, the Allahu anha that we used to speak at that time we used to
discuss that when the Joshi died
In the Allahu on his from his grave for a number of for a long
time a light used to emanate, because I mean he was so far away
and he gave refuge to these Muslims. I mean that was really
something despite the fact that his close associates in that were
not very supportive of him.
Then after he died in the ninth of hijra, there's another leader that
came out the next manager she has such His name is really not known
and whether he became Muslim or not, is not known. So Allahu
Allah.
So he gave to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Fany
us Rodini servie Janie wasa Janie, that means pair of leather socks,
black leather servage means plain.
Plain could mean they had no design on them. Because you know,
things have designs in this nation. It's not just now that
people have designs, they used to have designs. So this didn't have
any design, it was very simple, plain.
And also, they were cleaned of any hair, because this was leather. So
none of the wasn't it was totally clean leather, as you will see
most of them today. Right, the leather was cleaned out. And the
reason why that's mentioned is because in the Arabian Peninsula,
the leather that was used in the footwear that was made from it,
the slippers and so on. They used to leave the hair on them, they
didn't clean it completely didn't declare it as such, if that's the
term. So this was something that was a specific characteristic that
was mentioned if it was not a if it was not a unique
characteristic, or is that well just to hopes if it was normal to
not have hair on them.
Now the point is that the prophets of Allah, some wore them. Now in
this case, he wore them obviously, after having done voodoo. And then
it says, it tells us a number of things. One is he accepted this as
a gift. This was sent as a gift from this Najafi. So firstly, he
accepted the gift. It's also mentioned that this gift was sent
to him before he became Muslim. If that is the case, then it means
that he is accepting a gift from a non Muslim, which is completely
fine. It's also a gift of something which comes from an
animal, the prophets Allah some war, it made Messiah over it, it
had to be pure.
Was it known as to how it was purified and whether the animal is
slaughtered properly? Well, they were Christians. So the meat of
Christians as Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, and they were
practicing Christians. And probably until today, you'd
probably find in Abyssinia that there's probably more practicing
Christians that are really like they're probably a lot more
Christian than Christians in the West. In fact, most Christians in
Africa tend to be more Christian than the Western Christians. The
Western Christians seem to have diluted everything if you see most
of the diaries among the Christians. Most of the you know
the bible thumpers and so on, you're always gonna see some body
from Africa there Nigeria and Ghana and all of these countries
very strong Christianity, the white the Western people took it
there and they've literally I mean, they're more stronger in
their Christianity it seems then then the people here especially we
look at all this controversy with the Anglican Church and and so
under the African ones mashallah they're standing up for the you
know the truth a bit more. It seems wala Juan.
May Allah guide them May Allah guide them to, to the lust of the
prophets and take that additional step as this Naja she did as the
Naja she did. So yes, a number of scholars have mentioned that this
was before his Islam so the promise the law some accepted it.
So accepting the idea from anybody is permissible, as long as it's a
valuable and as long as it's
a permissible gift. It's also possible that he accepted it to
bring him closer you know, when you accept somebody's gift you
become closer. That's the whole point of it. The Rockstar awesome
said to her do to her boo, give gifts and spread the you know,
generate the love among you. So accepting the gift is part of it.
If you somebody doesn't accept to give, you've done your part and it
didn't happen it's going to be worse than if you didn't even try
to give the person a gift. Because then you're going to want to wait
and need to accept the gift. So that's why it's it works from both
sides accepting the gift, but don't just keep accepting it give
back as well. Then the prophets Allah made will do over them and
he made Messiah over them, which means he did not wash his feet. So
this becomes established there are about 70 narrations. Imam Abu
Hanifa, is when I first started studying and
I then saw so many iterations about wiping over leather socks,
that it became totally clear to me because washing the feet out of
all of the parts of the body, the part that probably needs to be
washed more than any other parts. It's probably the feet especially
nowadays,
but there's a permissibility given to wipe over
But as long as you've got special footwear, not just any footwear,
and as the great thing about leather, it's really good with
smell in the sense that it doesn't. It's a lot better than
cotton and these other materials for that ledger she had written
back to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam that I have, I
have conducted your Nika with a woman from your people, one of the
migrators, which was more heavy, what are the hola Juana? And, and
he gave the name he said she's on your deen OMO Habiba Binti abuse
of Yan, and I'm sending you these gifts. He sent a kameez and a
seawall, which means he sent
a tunic that's worn on the top, and he also sent some trousers of
some sort. Sear Well, that's what I said wireless. And he sent a
kind of a, another garment that is worn over.
And he sent these two Huff's he sent this footwear, this leather,
so the promise of Allahu Allah, Allah made Messiah with it.
Right, that's the first generation the next generation which is
Hadith number 82 of the book. It's related through Mahira Abner
shorba, who's a Sahabi he relates that day here. The here was
another Sahabas name, the here Kelby from the tribe. He was a
really high ranking Sahabi very, very handsome. And
the Gibreel Ali Salam used to come in his form right just so that he
didn't seem strange that he was somebody people knew so Okay, GPUs
to come. I'm not sure if they ever came together. The he was not he
alone was then W. Allison was here, somebody saying what's going
on, I'm not sure if that ever happened. But so this in this next
Hadith we have that the hiya kalbi or the Allah Who gave these cuffs
to gave a set of hosts a pair of hosts to Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wasallam and the promise that Lawson wore them so he's also
accepting a different one of the Sahaba in this case. Now Imam told
me the mentioned something in between here in the in between
this narration is Salah eel, who's one of the later narrators, he
relates from gerbil geography, not the not the Sahaba but related job
it Jabil geography from Army a shabby, who adds in this part that
not only did the hair or the hola Juan give the promise of awesome
pair of handcuffs, but he also gave him a job. Which means that
the over garment is such that like, like a coat of the time,
right a job.
This job by it says in another narration, it was from Sham. It
was from the Levant. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam it says
he wore them until they became worn out or they tore. So the
prophets Allah had some accepted the gift and he wore them and
continue to wear them until they were worn out, which shows that he
really liked them. Or there was a reason why he did that. It's also
possible that he's referring just to the socks that he wore them so
often, because what happens then is it says at the end, the Narita
mentions layer three, and Wu sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the
key Yun Houma amla that this is an observation, this is speaking
about Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam that, and the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam did not know whether the leather of the animal from which
it came whether the animal had been sacrificed according to the
proper rituals are not. And still he wore them. So this is a deal
for the Hanafis. Because the Hanafi is say that even if an
animal is not sacrificed properly from the throat, as it's mentioned
in the Quran, and in the Old Testament, right, and that's why
the Christian food was a lot of time and Jewish food was a lot of
time because they used to do it properly. So
I mean, did you still do it in the West, most of them still do it
properly. Whereas Christians don't. Maybe they still do it
properly in Africa, Allahu Anam in some in some countries, but the
main thing here was the process and didn't know he didn't ask.
This is a very strong statement to be made. That he's saying the
President did not know. Not that I think he didn't know that he
didn't ask about it. He says he didn't know whether they were from
a sacrificed animal or not. Because it could also be have been
from a dead animal died its own death and they use because they
could do these things in these places. Or whether the animal was
tanned or not. So he just took it on the face value. Normally the
understanding there is that if somebody is going to you could see
from him that it's been purified. And that's why the Hanafi say that
even if an animal has not been slaughtered, sacrificed by tanning
the skin tanning is a process you use by adding chemicals or leaving
it in the sun for all of for all of the moisture and all of the
Have the grease in the fat of the skin, it dissipates, it's removed,
and then the the skin remains. What's very interesting is that in
the Hanafi school, if you want, and
I'm not encouraging this, because it's not a good idea when you're
talking about animal rights and so on. But technically speaking, if a
lion is sacrificed in the Islamic way somehow, then, although its
meat is going to remain haram, but its skin will become pure, even
without turning it because the blood will come out. Right. So
that's a interesting way of doing it, if you can get around to doing
that. Now, how did the sahabi know that a professor Lawson did not
know either there was a discussion that had taken place which he does
not mention the details of, or he found out that he had asked him
and he got some indication. So but for Sahaba, to be so specific like
that, they have to have some information. Imam iblue Though a
Buddhahood has related, actually, there's a hadith that's related by
Mantovani and by Herky with Asahi chain from Abdullah Abdullah Abbas
of the Allah one.
That lawsuit allah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, whenever he would
want to relieve himself in those days, they didn't have bathrooms,
toilets in the house. So he would go far out into away from the
community as such, because you'd go you'd find a tree or something,
and you would relieve yourself. So once had gone there, in fact, I
think this is one of the first chapters of the Buddha where he
starts actually from one of these chapters.
He sat beneath a tree, took off his Huff's took off his leather
socks, and he probably made his will do and everything and then he
wore the sock he wore one of them. Before he was able to wear the
other one. A bird, a bird came and took it up.
Remember, they'd been left on the side for a while while he'd been
making wudu and so on. A bird came and took the other one up. He put
one on the other one wasn't there, the bird took it, and the bird
began to circle above. He didn't fly away with it. He began to
circle above holding on to this. As he was circling around, a black
snake fell out of the hoof and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
said he karama a Quran Manila hooba. This is a miracle of divine
favor which Allah subhanaw taala has favored me with and then he
made it to allow me now to become incidentally my MC other botany. I
mean, Saturday my yam Shia Allah additionally, and when when
shuddered the main yam she Allah orbera, that I seek refuge in
Allah subhana I seek your refuge in speaking to Allah subhanaw
taala Oh Allah, I seek refuge from the evil of that which crawls on
its stomach like reptiles, I seek your refuge from that which works
on two feet, and I seek your refuge from that which works on
for comprehensive dua for protection from all forms of evil.
In another version, it says that it was a chrome specifically that
had come and and then a snake popped out. That's why then the
general in general encouragement as a dub, was that whenever you
wear socks, or
who hoofs especially if they're left out in the open, you should,
you should actually shake them out. With very thin nylon socks. I
mean, normally you don't have these creepy crawlies in the house
as much, but where you do have more of them than you should be
doing. This also does a similar thing for doing the bed as well.
Especially in places where more aware, you have these insects and
so on that proliferate that ends the chapter of the hoofs. So
essentially Huff's just a simple pair of leather socks. Nowadays,
we have modern equivalents of these things that are waterproof,
like the seal skins and these other materials that are able to
do this as long as they're waterproof. And they bulky enough,
because if you look at a hole for leather sock, even if it's very
thin leather, it's normally going to have enough of a bulk that if
you just bulked it up outside, and you laid it on a table on the
floor, it would stand up.
Right, because it has enough stiffness on its side that it will
stand up. As opposed to a thin nylon sock, if you try to put that
up, it's going to keep falling down. Right, most of the time it's
going to keep falling down. The other thing is that you have to be
able to walk three miles in them. Nowadays with the fibers and
fabrics that are used for socks, even general nylon socks, as long
as they have a decent quality, they should be enough to walk
three miles in because they the fibers are quite strong. Some of
the woolen ones won't be because wool is wool is not as strong. It
becomes worn out a lot quicker unless it's a mixture of wool and
something. So there needs to be certain conditions one is the part
that
When you're wiping over them, when the water should not seep through,
and number two, you should be able to walk sufficiently three miles
in him. Because if all of these conditions are being
extrapolated from the horse, because that is the only thing on
which we hear, properly established, the from the
prophets, Allah Islam is making Messiah, there is a Hadith about a
job, which means other sock, but it's a turbulent narration. It's
not clear cut, and categorical, the only categorical integrations
we have about the hosts. So anything that's like have some
aroma allow that not all aroma, only some aroma allow footwear
that is of similar characteristics to the hoof, primarily that you're
able to walk us number of miles. Number two, it doesn't absorb the
water. It doesn't have to be completely water. In fact, leather
seats are not completely water because the water would go through
the seams. Because it's joined, you know, you don't get something
just one piece of leather. Because leather doesn't come like that.
Whereas SealSkinz and so on would be
completely waterproof until they get worn out then they lose it.
Right because the membrane does tear eventually, and that it stays
bulked up because that's what hosts do. They stand on the feet
without you having to tie them. Okay, the next chapter is on the
footwear. Specifically the sandals or slippers of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam. It's a larger chapter we're only going to
cover a few hadith of this
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim bourbon major finale Rasulullah

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa Salam o. P Birla and we'll leave
it up today, which is Hadith number 77. This chapter deals with
the footwear. And that means we're not just going to describe the
footwear, we're going to tell us we're going to speak about what
the profit or loss would do with this footwear, and general advice
of the Professor lorrison about how to put your footwear on. So
the word is null. And the word null. It refers to the which
protects the feet. So it could be something very thick and bulky. It
could be something very thin. It's just about something that's going
to protect your feet at the end of the day. That's the word. It's
quite comprehensive in its meaning, even though it says that
the Nile is very specific that it's very ancient. This is the
Sunnah of the Gambia, because Musa alayhis salam is mentioned in the
Quran is in fact Allah Now Lake, Allah subhanaw taala orders him
take off your natural your slippers, and I think about this
is that some have mentioned from this that it's the Nile, the
slippers, which means some a base a soul with a strap over it. Right
however that strap is that it's sunnah. Now clearly this example
that we have Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam in Arabia.
And then we have Musa alayhis salam clearly in the Middle East.
Normally hot areas.
In general, moderate weather, for the most part are very hot, so you
could get away with wearing sandals. In England, it's a bit
more difficult in America, it depends on where you are. Right?
It just depends on where you are in the world. So to wear footwear,
in general would be a sunnah in general, because where we still
have some war footwear. That's why you see that Maurice Allison wore
Huff's sometimes when he didn't have to wear hopes he wore natural
and sometimes he washed his feet in them as well. So you could see
from this that there was a need to a host sometimes the Prophet said
Allah some did not need to a host for convenience purposes. I doubt
it. We normally need to wear the leather socks because you don't
want to get
Caught with your foot in the sink, right? In a cafe, a roadside, you
know, in the, you know what I'm saying? That's where that's
normally why we were led the socks. Well some people do wear it
for you know convenience as well you just have to make muscle over
them which is completely fine. But generally that's one of the
reasons why we wear them for the Rasul Allah Salah and I'm sure he
didn't have a problem with washing washing his feet, it's quite
normal day you know, you wash your feet, but so if he will hoofs I
would assume Allahu Allah, that there had to be some purpose of
keeping the feet protected. Right and it being cold because they can
get cold in Madina Munawwara can get cold, more than maca. Makara
so the province has always wore sandals here if you go into some
places with slippers or sandals that probably throw you out. Right
You're not allowed to go in somebody's without shoes and isn't
it? I mean, that's if you go to those kinds of places. This is
something mentioned which is very interesting, which is corroborated
by Iraqi Iraqi that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
sometimes walked barefoot, right there in the minutes probably
stand and so on. He walked barefoot sometimes out of
humility. He walked barefoot out of humility.
And number two, one specific time when he did it was when he went to
visit somebody who's ill. So Iraqi has mentioned specifically to walk
barefoot to visit somebody ill in I'm not sure. I haven't read the
wisdom behind it and so on. But that has been mentioned. Abdullah,
you know, Mr. Oder the Allahu Anhu is specifically known as the
Sahiba nataline When we saw that was Seiwa quatuor. Because he was
in charge of the sandals, the slippers, the pillow, the miss
work, the tooth stick, and the water for purification. Basically,
he was there to provide it for the pro sellers and he would help the
process and put them on and take them off. He was a Hardiman, that
sense of that. And he became known as being specifically for that.
When the Prophet sallallahu ala lives and went somewhere and sat
down and the slippers were taken off. Abdullah Norton used to keep
it with him on the side. And then he used to give him back
afterwards. The first Hadith in this chapter is related from an
Assad nomadic or the Allah one.
Actually, it's related from Qatada. He asked us of nomadic or
the Allah one. Can you tell me something about the sandals of
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, the Slippers of Rasulullah Salallahu
Alaihe Salam, what did you want to know? How were they made? Where
exactly were the, the straps or the leather strips or the thongs
as the leather strips that you need to be able to keep them on
your feet because even just a piece of leather. So he was he was
asking how many strips how many straps there was and so on. So
unnecessarily Allahu Anhu said lumati Bilan, the slipper pair
that prophesied some had, they had to pay bail the bail is you can
translate it as thong or a strip. There are two strips. There's a
hadith in Bukhari, which says he had two strips as well. What
exactly does this word people mean as a two strips? Where were these
two strips? Was it two strips going across horizontally over the
top of the foot? Was it something that was going vertically? Which
way were they? So what it is, is that if you look at the pictures
as well, and as described by the Mohawk Dehaene, unlike today's
slippers, today, the slippers that you have either have a
the leather normally it's a very it's either leather or it's
rubber. So it normally comes from between the toe, the big toe, the
thumb of the foot, and the in the next the second toe, as such,
that's where you mostly have them. And then they go both to the
sides, like normal flip flops, slippers as such, however, weird
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says yes to one came
from there, one was from there, and the other one was in between
the middle toe, and the one next to it on the right, if you assume
the right foot.
Okay, you can see a picture of it in the sacred, you can see a
picture of it in this sacred relics book, or you could check it
online, you'll see the picture available online as well.
So you have you have if you can see you have these two,
right, you have these two, one was in between the toe of the foot and
the next finger, and then the middle finger and the next. So it
would go through two of them. I don't think I haven't seen
slippers like this nowadays. Most of them just have the one strip
going and then splitting up. So if you look at this, you have the two
strips going in and then there's a big strip at the top and then then
splits again onto the sides. So I mean, that's just the
The way they were made, then you have some other pictures which
show the one with the one strap, but not sure why, you know, it
could have been like this. It's possible. But what the Hadith
mentioned is it has two, two straps. Maybe that's a hoof, I'm
not sure what that is. So then you have the middle strap. I'm saying
somebody should design some slippers like that. They've got a
lot of companies called Sunbrella. They've got everybody designing
the using the logo of the sandal on ties and coats and handbags and
so on. I'm not sure if anybody's actually tried to manufacture
sandals like that. You know, that might be a project that one of you
might want to take on.
The next hadith is Hadith number 74. Because we still have to get
those specific.
That specific cloth, right that Shoal from Yemen, those two shots
from Yemen, we still need to source those. And the standards
might be a bit more difficult, if it is easy to get now. Right?
Okay. Next hadith is from a person called Khalid al hada. He was a
later narrator, a later scholar, Heather comes from either a person
who manufactures shoes. So somebody said that either he did
that, or it's because he used to sit He used to sit in the market
that were Shoemaker set. If you go to many old cities now as well, in
the markets, you've got different areas, that's all the shops there
are doing the same thing. And you wonder how they make business
because you've got 50 shops doing all the same thing. You know, the
Coppersmith market, right nowadays is a bit different. But that's the
way it was. I mean, you still have fruit markets and meat markets
nowadays even in England as well. Places. So he used to sit down
that's why he was called hada. So he is a narrator in this he
relates from Abdullah Abdul Hadith, a big Derby, a major
Therby and he relates from Abdullah dybuster, the Allah one
who said that the Prophet salallahu some sandal had due to
doubled right to doubled strips or straps. So it wasn't just one
piece of leather, but it was the straps are also made of double
piece of leather for strength purposes. The next hadith is
Hadith number 75, which is related from an IV nomadic or the Allah
one actually a person, a narrator called baman.
Isa ignore dharma. He said even a Tarman says that once and this of
the magic or the Allah Juan
brought out to brought out a pair of sandals that would, again, with
that cleaned up leather without hair, which was something strange
in those days, they said, or they were old. That's what he meant.
And when I looked at them, he says that they had two straps on him.
So then he says that Therby el Bonanni relates related to me
afterwards. At that time, honestly, the Allahu Anhu just
showed us the slippers he didn't mention anything but saboteur.
Guna. And he then said, relating from UNASUR, the hola Juan that
these two were the Slippers of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
the Anasazi alone had kept and had preserved so this ignitor man saw
these pair of slippers
by Anessa, the Allahu and but honestly Don did not mention it at
that time. Therby did not Ernest told him afterwards.
This is a very important discussion that needs to be had
because there's a lot of confusion out there about taking something
from a pious individual. Because at the end of the day, the
scholars are the Walther tool MBR they are the inheritors of the
prophets. And nowhere is it prohibited has it been clearly
prohibited that you can't that you take an article of a pious
individuals clothing or a pen or a slipper or hair or something like
that? It's not prohibited in general. You don't hear that
prohibition except where Schick is feared, like the price a lot is
Amara, the Alon had something cut down because Chinook was feared
because it was something that was being worshipped from before. But
then you have this UNASUR the Allah one is preserving this and
he's actually showing it to people. Right? That look at these
slippers. Firstly, they were D head, which proves that these were
from outside because you didn't find those kinds of slippers in
Arabia as such, so they were from outside.
Number two, this gives us an understanding of the general
encouragement towards keeping something of pious people gaining
Baraka fruit through it. For example, it's related from
Abdullah Amara, the Allahu anha, anastomotic and many Sahaba that
they would keep articles from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam
Not just keep articles from Surah allah sallallahu Sallam but
Abdullah Ahmad Adela was known to even look for places where exactly
the Prophet Solomon did things and he would like to do him there. So
forget about keeping an article that's a physical article, even
trying to preserve the places where the prophets of Allah
sunreef Relieved himself where he prayed where he made will do,
where he stopped on route to someplace, Hajj or Umrah in
Buhari, there's a narration that a woman came to the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wasallam with a shawl border to the voice of the
Lord Islam. And she said, and she must have so sold it, or we've
woven it with so much love. She came in, he said, Nina said to her
be the year, Asuka that I have woven this with my own hands. And
I would like to give it to you to wear. So the prophets of Allah
some took it and he was going to use it. He showed that he had a
need for it. So he says, I'm going to use it. And he took it. So then
he came out to us afterwards, after it was gifted to him, came
up to us. And he had tied it around his lower parts of the
body. So he started using it.
The person was sitting among the sahaba. He said, could you give me
that to? It? Could you
could you give it to me? So the Prophet says, I'm gonna say no,
you know, like, I just got it. No, he's not gonna say no. He said,
Okay, I'll give it to you. He sat for a while. He sat for a while.
Then he went inside, took it off, roll it up, probably put something
else on. And then he sent it to this person. And the people they
were not very happy. They all began to say masks and this year
walked out of the no hula. You do, sir. It's not good thing that you
asked him for that you know that he never refuses anybody. Why did
you ask him? It's not a very good idea. The person said Wallahi
Massa, Aloha, a Lolita, kona Cafe Anioma. And moot wala, and only
reason I asked him Is so that it could become my cafe and my shroud
when I die. So then Sal reports that yes, that was then used. Who
was it? It says it's nobody knows, nobody's mentioned. And this is
the this is the Sahabas etiquette. Because it seemed like a bit of an
act that not everybody agreed with. So they hid his name. They
knew who he was. They didn't relate it. They hid his name.
That's what you'll notice in many places. He mentioned that there
was one man who showed great valor in the field. And people were
saying, Look, he's done. Great, great achievement progress.
Awesome. said no, you know, and then he killed himself afterwards.
Right? They knew who he was. They didn't mention his name, they will
preserve that. But in any other place. They mentioned his name.
They mentioned his name. You know, we studied in the chapter on the
hair of Rasulullah. Anna combing, it mentioned that he should have
the Allah Juana used to comb his hair. And it shows this kind of
intimate relationship. We got a comment online, from a woman from
a sister who's saying, you know, this sounds very embarrassing, you
know, I feel really embarrassing, the oldest kind of intimate
details are being discussed of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. I
mean, subhanAllah they in the books, the Sahaba had the greatest
level of modesty. Right? They're mentioning these things, I should
have the Allies mentioning it herself. You think she's got no
modesty, right? It's just we sometimes have a level of modesty
that we take for ourselves, which is not necessarily
the standard. It's beyond the standard, which is fine, if you
want to do that, but you can't impose it on others. Right? So the
main thing is that that they had the greatest sense of modesty. And
yet they described this the other thing, the other reason for this
is that if Rasulullah salAllahu alayhi salam, and the Sahaba did
not reveal this thing about the intimate relationship, then who
else is going to reveal the way you're going to learn it from?
You're going to learn it by yourself by default, you can learn
from the soap operas, where most people are learning it from these
days, right? I mean, there's no intimacy, there's just it's just
all divorce. Well, it's not even divorce, we get divorced, doesn't
even get, it doesn't even get to marriage. So when you're going to
learn it from if it doesn't come from the Dean is supposed to be a
comprehensive Dean. So one mustn't feel embarrassed by this. In fact,
one must reorient their level and sorry, their understanding of
modesty by this. So here as well, you've got so yes, they did not.
They did not reveal the name. And it says it's related. It was maybe
maybe Abdurrahman, probably Allah one. Right. So then you have
Anessa the Allahu and kept also the bowl of Rasulullah sallallahu
the vessel from which he used to eat or drink. And actually the
Allahu Anhu kept some of the clothes back of Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam after he passed away. Why we are the Allah who
aren't used to keep the kept the hair of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam.
Before he passed away, he actually wrote to me he sent a messenger to
Aisha the Allahu Ana, from Syria from Sham saying, Can you can you
to send to me the government of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam.
And she sent it soon as he got it, he washed it, or he soaked it in
water. He put the water over him, he drank some of that water. He
had some nail clippings of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, he
had some of the hair of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and he said that
when I die, I want you to put some of this in my nostril, some of
this in my mouth. And I want you to wrap me in this and that is
going to be my coffin. And he said, I have hoped that this is
what's gonna you know, this is what this is one of the things
that that is going to give me salvation in the Hereafter. This
is a some of the great Sahaba who are doing this alright? Isha.
Right? If it was shook, I said, No, no, I'm not gonna give it to
you shouldn't have kept to yourself, she would have buried it
or disposed of it. So today, you have extreme people who don't
understand these things. And they just want to cut it from the root,
so that they have some understanding. And the reason for
that is there are people who do some weird things, we start
worshipping trees and keeping photos of the Sheikh and kind of
looking at adoringly, and maybe, you know, doing I don't know what
else, all of that is overboard. That doesn't mean you cut it all
so that you don't allow the permissible things to happen as
established from Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam Sahaba almost
salam ala the Allah one had the hair of a pseudo Allah Salah was
we related earlier that she kept in a gold veal and the people used
to take baraka from it and make dua to Allah subhanaw taala when
the promise that was made will do that water would not would not
come down, it would not be able to get to the floor, except that the
Sahaba would would pick it up would capture catch it and put it
over them. Almost sulayem Almost unnamed not one of the waves one
of the other women, she cut off the mouth of the leather vessel
that the person was used to drink from she because eventually it
gets worn out. So she cut off the the neck of it from where the
royal awesome used to put his lips. And she kept that third
Beatle buena Annie
Sahabi Tabby, he wouldn't whenever he would shake hands with us or
the Allahu and he would not let go until he would kiss us and the
Allahu Anhu was hands. And he would say that these are hands
which have constantly touched the hands of Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam because honestly the on the stage we Rasulillah lesson from a
very young age for a number of years. So then you have Imam
Mohammed. This is really something Imam Muhammad of no humble. He
sent a garment to Imam Shafi. Some said the other way around, and
Imam Shafi he took that he washed that garment of Imam Muhammad and
he drank from that water even though that was a student, and
then talk to you Dina subkey, one of the great Shafi scholars, when
he became the the CHE who will Hadith as such the way we would
say, for the Hadith al Ashrafi in Syria after Imam no he passed away
used to be you now know his position. So it's the next day
called hadith is coming in. And he said this poem and literally what
he said in that point was that
I mean, this is such a high position that I could just touch
my face to where the feet have now we know we settled right. So if
there is such respect among scholars, and then among Sahaba,
then what is the problem with getting this kind of Baraka? So,
I mean, there's numerous, numerous other things, but it has to be
kept in moderation because they're clearly could, as some people have
led things like this to shirk, and that's why some aroma have
condemned it. So there needs to be a level of moderation. Allah
subhanaw taala give us the correct understanding and the following of
