Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
Salatu was Salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi
wa Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman cathedral, Eli Yomi Dean
Emeritus.
We continue with
the 10th Chapter of Shema L of Imam tell me the characteristics
of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam This is a chapter on
footwear. Specifically the Slippers of Rasulullah sallallahu
some of the sandals of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. We
covered a few Hadith already. We're on Hadith number 76.
This hadith is related from Abner Amara, the Allah one who says that
I saw
it's actually related from Aubade IGNOU Jurij, who's at Derby from
Madina, Munawwara.
He says to Abdullah Nakamoto, the hola Juan, why is it that I've
seen you wearing
these sandals that are SIP to sip tea or sandals, and essentially
sip tea or sandals are those
that had their hair removed, say leather sandals with the hair
removed? Because the custom of the Arabs of the time was or in Arabia
at that time was not to was to actually use leather without
having to remove the hair. So these were foreign. And it looks
like Abdullah Muhammad Ali Allahu anhu, used to continue to do the
same thing.
Out of emulation of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
That's why there's a hadith
related by Imam Bukhari in which
he said to Abdullah Ahmed or the Allah one,
why is it that I see you're doing four things which I don't see
anybody else of your companions doing?
And one of them was wearing the sandals that were without that,
that the leather was cleaned out? There was no hair on it.
Why did he ask him that question? Firstly, because it seems strange,
it wasn't a custom. Number two, maybe he thought that this was a
matter of indulgence, because there's an extra step to be taken
to remove the hair. So maybe this was the way of the wealthier
people. And he was wondering why Abdullayev no matter the Allahu
Anhu used to also try to have such sandals with the hair removed. So
he asked him, he asked him straight out, that's the good
thing to do. When you see somebody doing something, what you think is
strange, the best way to deal with it is to politely gon take them
aside and talk to them. Preferably, you know, make them
sit down, give them a cup of coffee cup of tea, helps the
situation.
Right. So it is a good idea rather than entertaining different
thoughts and
unreasonable notions and and then you talk to somebody else. And
it's best always to approach somebody and say, brother, why'd
you do this for is there some wisdom behind it just nicely.
The one brother I've seen, he's really good. He is probably one of
the best that I've seen in terms of correcting you, that you and if
you've made a mistake, they will come and correct you, they will
come and take Mushara is very good. He'll come he'll sit by you
start talking about everything else in the world first. And
really, you know, you're sitting down relaxed, talking about some
easy things. And then suddenly, he'll bring up the issue and say,
what about what about this issue? You know, can you please You know,
you mentioned in your hotbar, you mentioned in your bio, and you
mentioned this particular point, it shouldn't be like this. And
mashallah, it's a lot better than just grabbing somebody and saying,
you know, you mentioned this today that was wrong.
We're humans, we deal with humans, we're not machines that just do
things according to some particular
written code, we have to understand where the other person
is coming from. It's part of the hikma and wisdom to do this to
find the right moment and achieve the recent studies show that if
you want to criticize someone or say something to someone that
would be slightly critical.
They would take it much better if they were sitting than if they
were standing.
So don't ever criticize somebody standing up.
And they would take it even even better if they were laying down as
opposed to sitting.
So you really want to talk talk to somebody, call them relax them,
put some pillows under them, you know
killaby locker, you know, just give give them some food and so on
and then and then bring it up more relaxed. Don't just grab somebody
on the street, take them to the side in the corner and start
talking to them because then people get defensive.
It has its hikma its wisdom
So this person were Allahu Alem. He came in us and this is the
commentators are saying that maybe he thought that they were a bit
exquisite. And that's why I was wondering why is he getting these
exquisite sandals for? So that's why he asked. And the answer was
the he saw Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam because he says
Abdullah Imam Timothy relates here. In the continuation of this
narration in nero Ito rasool Allah He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
yelled best in the URL that he lays if he has showered on way
toward dark fie her that I saw Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam wearing slippers that did not have any hair and he also made
will do in them. He also made wudu in them meaning while being on the
feet he would pour the water over and the water would run everywhere
because the sandals were very simple. They were not complicated
sandals with lots of straps here and there and you know they were
very simple sandals you pour water over them the water would go
everywhere anyway. And he could still do Hillel and everything.
So there's two things that he's trying to establish here one is
that Rasulullah Musa were such sound sandals maybe he was given
those sandals from someone from outside number one number two,
he made wudu in them proves that they were not unclean, even though
we don't know the source of the leather which animal it came from
whether it was Malibu, the Bihar sacrificed or not because once you
tan, any kind of hide except pig, it becomes halal.
There is also a possibility that he ministers Yetta what does he
have meaning he made will do and then used to put them on but still
the feet wet. Then you put them on it's still fine, it doesn't. It
will not make your feet impure unless they're made of pig
leather. Then you've got a problem. Because pig leather is
intrinsically impure. You can wash it 100 times
say Bismillah each time as well. It was still not become pure.
So then Abdullah abnormality and then added for an O hippo and
Alba. He explained the reason that he said and I love to also wear
them because of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. This is not the
only Hadith from him, which discusses the close following of
Rasulullah Salah and there are many other Hadith about it as
well. And alive now Omar in particular, there are a number of
Hadith in Bukhari, which explain this is to look for the place he
prayed and where he even relieved himself where he stopped where he
made will do and so on and so forth.
Like there's a hadith in which, which will come later on about the
food of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
from UNASUR, the Allah one that he wants Surah Surah allah sallallahu
Sallam
eating and what was cooked was the
de Burgh means this light to green God that you get. It's a type of
vegetable.
God, g o u r d, right? It doesn't have much of a taste. It's got a
very bland taste. In fact, you make it in curry or something. And
it's some goods are sweet. But this one is not sweet. This one
has a kind of a bland plain taste. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam
Abdullayev not one of them saw him eat it with some relish.
He was looking for the good in the in the dish. So honestly, the
Allahu Anhu said, since that day, I've learnt to love it. I've loved
it since that day, doesn't have any particular days. It's not like
extremely sweet or some exquisite taste or exotic, nothing of that
nature. But just for that reason.
That's why how many of us have tried this type of green God?
They call it cut doing although
it's not a marrow, but it's probably bigger than a marrow.
It's a green one. It's Dodi in Gujarati, right? I'm sure. You
must have seen that.
Okay, so if you don't get bring some home and get it cooked and
eat it.
So if not Abdullah
Maliki the great Maliki scholar he says min Saudi Hill Imani muhabba
to Makana Mustafa SallAllahu Sallam you Hibou who were at by
Omar Caniff, Allah who had killed makhoul on mushrooms el mal boosts
you know because there is some people will bring up here that you
guys have been coming extremists in the following the province of
Assam never said you should eat this or never said you should wear
this kind of clothing. So, judging from what Sahaba like Abdullah
Muhammad or the Allahu Anhu used to do in the northern ma after
him, ignore Abdullah al Maliki says that it is part of pure faith
study halimun It is part of pure faith, to love that which the
prophets of Allah awesome used to love and to follow and emulate
what he used to do even in eating and drinking and clothing.
by
essentially saying even in those things which he did not directly
say you must do this, you must do this, what he just done himself,
we must love to do the same thing. That is, if anybody understands
the concept of love, then this is a permissible aspect of you can
call it an extreme level of love. This is a permissible aspect of it
because people greater than us and who are better differentiators
between the right and wrong did it they come to live now morally
Allah one. The next Hadith number 77 is related from
Imam Tirmidhi. Related related from is how cognomen Su from
abdulrazaq from Amara from ignobly
it'd be the job. That was this narrator's name,
his real name that was what he was known as, but his real name was
Mohammed.
His father's name was Abdul Rahman Muhammad Abdul Abdul Rahman but he
became more famous as Ibnu Abebe the son of Abu Talib.
He was a man of great status
when how to negotiate the great Abbas ID. Holly's one of the
biggest of the later are basilica lifts he came for Hajj and he
entered muster the Naboo II. Everybody stood up except Abu
Dhabi that he refused to stand up. Everybody else stood up in honor
of the Khalif.
Somebody said to him
stand up for the Ameerul Momineen he said in the Maya Kuma nursery
Rob Bill Alameen.
Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, people stand up for the
Lord of the Worlds not for the lord of this dunya
Haroon Rashid saw this happening very he was a pious individual
himself he respected piety. He said that oh who forgot karma mean
equal Lucia Ara?
Leave him alone leave him alone. Already. Every hair of my body has
stood up.
From what he said in the Maya coma nursery. Robben Island mean
this is an ibis in Cardiff, you know, this was one of the greatest
of the basilica lifts. He took a break from this person and you
know, not getting angry that Who is he to say this, everybody else
is standing up, but not him. Let me show him. Let me assert my
power.
And this is where people don't understand that you'd rather gain
something by respect, as opposed to by showing your power. That's
why I'm while we are the Allah and had a cousin who was a governor in
one of the other cities, and he was very cruel. He used to just
take care of his enemies just like her judge used to be. So
Margarita, the Allahu Anhu used to say that he tries to gain order
and harmony by using
by using vigor by using his sword. I will use my tongue where it
suffices and will refuse to use my whip.
So he he knew how to do this. He knew how to he really was very
careful. He says there's no point in beating people into submission.
When your love and your clemency can suffice. Your forbearance can
suffice
but this is really something that how Ronaldo she said this
afterwards up every hair of my body standing on its end leave him
alone.
So he relates from Saudi Molotow Amma
Saudi he was a freed slave of dharma. She was a twin tau amines
twin became her name mobile atoma because she was one of the twins.
Right? And she was Sahabi
she had a she was a Sahaba, whose name was whose sister's name was
Robbie ignore Omega IGNOU heard of Al Juma he who relates from a he
relates from Abu Huraira the Allah one that the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam sandals or slippers had the two straps, which
we discussed before two straps, exactly where they were, there's a
difference of opinion as to exactly how they were whether they
were coming from in between the toes, or whether they were over
the top, but he definitely had two straps. Or it could also mean that
he had a double layered two straps, because we learned that
from another Hadith that said that's just a reiteration of one
of the other generations we've already explained that hadith
number 78 is related from
from IGNOU Hadith, I'm Ragna Hadith. Who says
this? Let's speak a bit about Omroep no hurry if he is actually
a Sahabi very young Sahabi. He was very young when he became a
Wahhabi kurayoshi Massumi
the main six books of all taken Hadith from him, he passed away
when he, the Prophet said Allah is on pasture when he was only 10
years old. So it's very young Sahabi Abdullah on what are the
Alon wasn't very old either. But he was 10 years old when he passed
when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam passed away.
He relates that I saw Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
He must have been very young when he saw this, but the aroma of
accepted his Hadith, primarily, most likely, because he was
distinguishing, and people could witness give witness to that, that
he was a distinguishing young boy.
Nowadays, our we don't even trust our 10 year old boys nowadays,
which is really sad.
It means that they don't mature or we do not help them to mature we
do not consider them to be mature enough. And this is the problem of
the Western society. They only consider people legal to do things
or 1618 when it comes to some things. And in other things, they
make it very young. It's just kind of really weird.
And that's why you see that. People who come from third world
country, young boys, they seem a lot more mature than young boys of
other areas. And that's one of the reasons why I don't think people
in the West can really understand
why in Islam, it's permissible, as it was in many other cultures as
well to marry even younger girls, because they just can't see a 19
year old girl mature.
You know, they just can't see her do that. Nowadays, they don't even
know how to comb their hair. Sometimes the mother has to still
be combing her hair is really sad.
But that's it's still an issue in in third world countries. Many
third world religions seem to do better because they're forced to,
they're not pampered as much they're forced to go and act act
up the age.
So he says I saw Rasulullah sallallahu some you saw leafy
Nalini Matsu first thing I saw Rasulullah sallallahu some praying
in a pair of slippers that were muscle 15 Look at his
understanding as well look at what he noticed. Because this is the
one narration that is different from the others that others say
that okay, they used hair, which was not with us sandals that were
with leather that had no hair on it, and, and so on. But this is a
very intricate observation. MK su 14 refers to comes from the word
house of house.
Muscle that then could refer to the fact that they had
patches on them.
They were patched up, because muscle for comes from the house of
hustle means a patch. So it's possible that they had patches on
them. Or it could mean that they had two layers. So that's another
meaning of it, that you had two pieces, which is the case if you
see some of those pictures, because single leather may not be
thick enough to make it stiff enough so that it's okay to walk
in. It's very likely that you have two or three layers for the for
the sole
hadith of Urawa from Aisha Radi Allahu anha, that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
Ghana, you yaki to Thurber who he used to
sew his clothes, which could mean that if there was anything to sew
anything that opened up or if something atone, he would put the
patch on, he would sew up whatever it was
obvious obviously, it doesn't refer to the fact that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was a tailor as such, it's not referring
to that necessarily. And then she talks about his sandals or he
would mend them as well.
These days we don't men sandals anyway probably cost more to mend
the sandals to buy a new pair. Nowadays, if you go to the you
know, you'd only take a very exquisite piece of sandal to get
mended because they probably charge you 10 pounds. And you
could buy another pair of sandals for two pounds. Well, not good
ones, but you know you could buy something. Whereas in many third
world country like India, you I remember when I started I took
some nice pair of sandals from here. I couldn't buy any more like
that. I must have had them sewn up three, four or five times maybe
until the end because you couldn't find something comparable. And
they were they were fine if you just sew them up Subhanallah
it was easy as long as the guys on the street you just go there
literally pay him five rupees, two rupees, three rupees, pennies,
literally. So it's convenient like that. But nowadays we just
recycle, we throw away we fill the dumps. And Allahu Allah, you know,
we wonder how to recycle things. Well make things memorable easily.
Maybe that's one of the ways to do it.
We have too much money we have too much money.
May Allah allow us to use it wisely or not take it away from
us.
And Number Number three, he used to also patch up his his bucket
which was made of leather, if there was if they developed a hole
or something if not, he'd been hacking relate this narration
there's another Hadith from Ibiza who says that I saw the the
sandals of Mustafa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam they were he has
a description using the word mill center twin MC Salatin
which means
it's a very intricate description. Two things one is it was slender
in the middle. So it was narrow in the middle because that's how if
you look at shoes as well today, they narrow down in the middle. So
it wasn't just cut as some crude piece of cloth piece of leather,
just square or you know, some weird shape. No, they were
actually shaped while being slender in the middle, because
that's where the that's where the foot has a concave at the bottom.
The other word he uses comes from the word listen tongue.
So it was shaped in a particular ways to show that there was some
there used to shape it. It wasn't just crudely made.
The next hadith is Hadith number 79 which is related from Abu
Huraira the Allahu Han and then the BSL Allahu Allah Rasool allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam called Allah MCN Hadoken la MCN Hadoken
fina and in Wahida
now, Imam told me the ads the number of other Hadith which
doesn't, which is not, which is no longer speaking about a
description of Rasulullah sallallahu sums on footwear, but
about how to wear footwear and guidance about footwear. So in
this generation of Abu Huraira, the Allahu and the prophets of
Allah and Islam saying, none of you should walk, none of you
should walk
in just one slipper, or just one sandal, just one piece of footwear
on.
Now, this prohibition as such is for showing a dislike of it's not
haram to do that, right. It's disliked to do it for health
reasons, and Dini reasons. Now, what would be a Dini reason of why
you can't walk in one foot? Sorry, with just one shoe on, we can
understand health reasons that you'd be unstable. Eventually, the
pressure on one side will maybe cause you to become imbalanced in
your backbone, and so on and so forth. Right. So there are clear
health reasons that could be under supported Dini reason of not of
prohibiting How could they be a Dini reason? Anybody have an idea?
That's an easy one, to blame it on the shaytaan. Clearly, but
specific, more specifically, everything bad is from the
shaytaan. Clear. So what more specifically?
Well, one thing that comes to mind is, if you do that somebody is
going to think is this guy, Bill goof. Right. They're going to make
fun of you. Because no decent person does that.
So it's going to cause people to criticize you condemn you. And
they're going to be sinful for doing that, because they should
mind their own business, really. But people can't help it. But
you're causing them to do that. So that is one reason that from a
Dini perspective, as well, but there must be more than that as
well. Anyway, it's my crew.
It's mockery, it's not haram, it's my crew, unless it's for a reason.
But in general, there are some aroma who looked at and said that
even if you're walking and one of your shoes, let's just say this,
the soul came off, you bought them cheap, and the glue just came
apart, it was a hot day, and the glue came apart. And now you're
walking with talking shoes, and you'd rather walk without them. So
you took one off, take both off. Right? So either work and
professionalism. We'll say that in another Hadith, either walk with
both of them or take both off and just walk normally with stability.
But there will be times when you have to because maybe it's just so
hot on the sand or whatever. And one of your slippers got stolen.
When you went for ombre for example, you could still somebody
else's people normally do it, the find another one that looks like
and you take those or he probably took money. You don't do that La
hawla wala Quwata illa biLlah you don't do that. Now people have
become a lot more savvy, they they take these bags with them, where
you put them in there and you hardly lose them. The best is to
have big feet. Nobody will take your slippers. Right? We're just
gonna get snippets that are big, you know, that are larger than
your size, size 12 Nobody will take them less people. You have
789 10 Too many people have the same. They think it's theirs. And
the problem is that the you know, all the snippets are the same. So
what law who item? We don't think people are stealing them. They
just think they're yours. They think they're there. So that's why
they take them. We have to have good
opinion about people there.
So now let's just say it's so hard now you try to walk on both feet,
you're going to be suffering. So maybe in that case
Same will be not so mcru to hop on one foot. Right and I think people
you see that quite often people doing that they especially on the
overtime in the in the peak, right you will probably see people
hopping on one foot they've lost it and I want to steal somebody or
take somebody else's. So then what do you do? So there could be a
need. So it's not like some absolute prohibition, you can't do
it, you're going to burn your feet. There is a narration if not
agile says there is a narration in which he says that Rossum has done
the done this once for some reason.
But that could be that it was some really unique situation or is
before the prohibition. And the resellers have never did it again.
Because then later he said take them both off.
So he says do not the prophets Allah some said Do not walk just
in one piece of footwear.
Now the Dini and dunya here,
it's against the decency of a normal person to walk like that.
It's because it will, they will create some imbalance in the way
you walk you will make you wave to and fro. Also, it could cause you
to trip up because you're not balanced, it could cause you to
trip up. And so Hala, try this, if you want to stand on something
that is even two centimeters or one centimeter higher than the
other.
Right?
pavement is quite clear. But something even lower than a
pavement just something two centimeters higher than other put
one foot on one side, another foot on the other side and extend your
arms and tell somebody to push your arms down, you will notice
that if you're standing on flat ground with both feet level, your
you will have more,
you will have more power in your arms as you normally do, right to
resist somebody trying to push your arms down if they
outstretched, then when you're on slightly, slightly one lower and
one higher level, you will notice that you lose your power,
you won't retain the same power. So
it could refer to it gives the possibility of falling down.
Also the problem of stumbling the problem of one hip becoming higher
than the other backbone problems and so on so forth. And then the
fact that you're going to have somebody else maybe become sinful
if they start laughing at you. And there are always a lesson said you
should avoid all of these things. So there are more than one reason
for avoiding it.
That's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that if a
person breaks their will do in Salah. What are they supposed to
do? You're not supposed to just casually walk out. You can't stick
around as well, because you can't carry on in solid. If you break
your will do. It's really bad to do that. There's some really
serious warnings about that. Then casually walking on Oh yeah, he's
broken his will do. So what the wrestlers have said is that you
should hold your nose and go out. So to make people think that you
had a nosebleed, which is a lot more people according to people
decent than letting off wind.
Now you might think that's lying. It's not lying. You're not telling
them I didn't break my window like that. I broke it like this. You're
just going like that. Now, if somebody is silly enough to ask
you, did you really do that? That's their problem.
But that's what you're supposed to do. So people think oh, he's had a
nosebleed.
The Prophet sallallahu sallam said that, so if that's the case, they
you should you shouldn't show your defects like that. Doesn't give
room to lie, it doesn't give room to lie to lying permissibility
then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Let the condition
upon your own Allah
do not become an assistant for shaytaan against your brother.
So in this case here, if you're going to walk in an unstable way,
and you're helping Shaitan to laugh at, to tell this person to
laugh at you and earn sin. And that's not a good idea.
If not, RB does say that this is the way the shaytaan walks. That
had to be one explanation right? Even r&b said that, actually, that
it's the way that shaytaan walks.
Some have gone as far as saying, in fact, they've said that some of
the minions or Obama have agreed on this, that because of this
narration, let's just say that your sandal strap broke of one and
you are standing in the other one, even on top of the other one was
standing in the other one you shouldn't do that you should take
both off and you shouldn't even just stand in one
because it's not becoming of a decent person to do that.
Although others have said look, if you're if you have to stand on
there because the ground is dirty or whatever, then it should be
nothing wrong with that. Some have said that based on this then it
also gives us an understanding that if somebody is wearing a
jacket or a coat, or a shirt or whatever, and he's got one arm
through and the other one he doesn't. That's also an imbalance
and shouldn't do that. I
I don't know how you could do that in trousers. But you know, with
the shirt, definitely that you know that you could have some
people try to do that. So it's not, it's not nothing to do I mean
if that's the way people look cool or something, well then that's the
people you're following. It's not what Rasul Allah Allah told us to
do.
Except in hardware, we're told to do it in a particular way, leave
the right shoulder bear, there's a there's a wisdom in doing that for
that reason.
Likewise said that if you wearing a hoof in one, and a sandal in the
other one, a shoe on one and He's slipping the other one, it's
weird, you don't do that kind of stuff.
Wearing two different types of socks, nobody can see it. Maybe
you might get away with it. If it's in the shoes, but if it's
outside, one red and one green one doesn't look good. Right? It
should be avoided.
That's why then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said
Leon alguma. Jimmy and Oh Leo for him and Jimmy on either way, both
of them somehow or take both of them off.
The next hadith is Hadith number 80, which is related from
kotoba from Malik from Abu Zenit. And it's a similar Hadith Imam
Timothy just says that there's another narration that's similar
to this one. So it's the same content, but it's another
narration. This should give you an understanding that when we say
Buhari, for example has 60,000 Or sorry 6000 durations? What Mr.
Muhammad have no humble memorize a million narrations literally
speaking. It wasn't that there were million different contents,
different themes, different subjects, different points a
different wording completely. It could mean that there was a
similar message in it but it was a different chain that's considered
another not another narration.
So that goes in body when you say they've got 6000 narrations, if
you cut out and you took out all the repetitions just because the
chain is different or a word is different, then you will find that
there's actually about two to 3000 iterations in there that are
unique, uniquely different from each
Hadith number 81 or narration 81.
It's related from
jabber or the Allah one, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam prohibited that a person eat right that a man or a woman
eat in the narration that says yeah, cool. Rajul a person eat be
shimmery, he with his left hand.
That has nothing to do with the chapter, but it's the part that's
coming afterwards, which is relevant. That's why he's brought
it OEMC phenol in Wahida. Just as bad as it is to eat with the left
hand which is supported in number of other ahaadeeth. It's also very
bad to walk in just one slipper about the eating one.
Eating with the left hand
it's considered mcru According to the Maliki's in the Sharpies. But
because of the severity of the way the prophets of Allah mentioned it
the humble is consider it haram to just eat with the left hand.
That's how serious it is. You know what a haram you know the
difference between a haram and a mcru? Daddy me even is that a
haram is something if you reject it, you become careful because it
is established so securely.
That's the difference. The Maliki's under Shafi is they do
not consider the evidence as strong as Zina for example, the
prohibition of Zina, but it's still something to avoid, because
Hadith and Muslim that the Prophet said a lot of some sort of man
eating with his left hand and he said to him, as he couldn't be me
and eat with your right hand. He said, law study, I can't. I have
not, I don't have the ability to he said, let's start Prophet
sallallahu Sallam know what he was probably in a state he said, let's
start you will not be able to. And since then he could not raise that
hand to his mouth. From that day on. Let's show severity the profit
or loss of in another head. He said that eating with the left
hand is the eating is the way shaytani eats. Right? Clearly,
it's the way shaytaan eats right. So
the majority do not consider it haram they consider it Makuta
anime highly disliked, but the humble is have taken it really to
the level of haram here.
Why is it encouragement to eat with the right and not with the
left? Well, it's part of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam is saying that Allah subhanaw taala has distributed for
us activities of honor to be undertaken with the right hand and
activities that are necessary but are not considered very honorable
necessarily with the left side, like washing this oneself. So you
don't want to be washing as well as even if a person is using
tissue should use the left hand and not the right even if you're
using tissue. Right. That's what the rhythm I mentioned. So even
though a person may never
such place maybe using something else even then we don't want to
come too close to be eating with the with the left the eating
should be done with the right
now if the right
the other thing that Professor Lawson will say later is that a
person should start wearing with the right will we'll talk about
that in the next Hadith inshallah
so the bounties of Allah subhanaw taala is the food and we want to
show honor with our right hand because in Islam the right is
considered the honor the honorable
part
so the prophets Allah some said these two things He prohibited
these two things that a person eat with his left or that he walked
just in one slipper.
Hadith number 82.
It's related
from Abu Huraira the Allahu Anhu again, that Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said, He then started to come fully up that
Binyamin, what he then as Allah away then Nizar follow up that
Mishima
that when one of you
puts on his slippers, footwear, he should start with the right side.
And when one of you take some often he should start with the
opposite the left hand side we should start with the left hand
side. And then he says that means the right should be the first one
to be worn and the left should be the first one to be taken off. He
clarified it again.
This is where the products are awesome said you should not stand
you should not eat with the left hand that is considered Makuta
creamy right. Now in this case, where the proposal awesome is
saying a person should start with the right, right foot first and
take off the left first. What level of hokum is that? Is that
followed? Is that wardrobe? Is that Mr. Hub? Or what is it? It's
considered Mr. Hub. So it's not necessary. But it's most the hub
as part of a Muslim who's conscious was always trying to do
things to better himself and get closer to Allah subhanaw taala
then it is befitting of such a person to follow this as well. So
it's mazahub you will be rewarded for doing so. But you will not be
you will a person will not be sinful for leaving it.
Now how do you
because we've been told that when you enter into the masjid, you go
with your right, when you come out you go with your left. And
normally when you're coming in and out of the masjid is the slipper
issue you don't go in with your slippers.
As has been throughout history, except in the early days, because
in time the prophesy the Lord is some of the masajid they did not
have carpets or any kind of rugs or it was just under pebbles for
some time afterwards as well. But eventually it turned to having
some kind of something on the ground. Now in that case, people
stopped taking their foot when the footwear became more complicated.
The footwear became more kind of something to the outside. Because
initially the profits or losses is really it's related. It's an array
to the hero. He just as he did would do in his slippers. He
prayed with his slippers on and if somebody today comes in as
somebody did, some, somebody who
doesn't have much insight, who's very literalist sees a hadith I
want to act on this hadith is the only hadith is found in the whole
world. He hasn't seen the tahajjud one maybe. Right? So he comes into
the masjid with his shoes on and the people are saying brother take
your shoes off. It's sunnah
it's so now how can you stop me from doing a sadhana? The prophets
Allah some have these Docker boots on these Caterpillar steel toe,
you know, is that what he had on? Is that what he prayed with?
So people need to understand that another person is sitting reading
a newspaper in the masjid. Rather it's sunnah to know about the
affairs of the Muslim affairs of the world.
What you're going to be talking about pop stars and all that stuff
in there as well. It's not always just about Liverpool and
Manchester United, you know, no offense to any of you, you know.
So people have this misapplication
they probably regretted about five years afterwards when they become
wiser when they get a few slips from here and there, you know.
So when you do go out, you're supposed to put the right foot in
first into your slippers.
But you're supposed to go up with your left foot. So how do you deal
with that? When you're going out of the masjid, for example. So
what they say is what you should do is you should go with your left
foot first, place it on top of your slipper, because you don't
want to place it on the ground. You place it on top of your left
slipper. And then with the right foot you go into your right
slipper. So you wear that first then you wear your left one, so
you've acted under sunlight.
Likewise, when you're going into the masjid, you take your left one
off first and then put it on
Stop, and then you take the right one, and then you walk in with
that.
But most places, this is where you leave the shoes just outside and
you kind of walk in.
Right, which is not the case nowadays nowadays you have a kind
of a place.
In between the two, you take your you can take your left on off
calmly and everything, and then you take your right one off, then
you put them on this, you know, hopefully, you know, you put them
on the,
the racks, and then you walk in calmly with your left hand with
your left foot, or sorry, with your right foot, and you come out
with your right with your left. And then I'm getting completely
confused the right so you understand what I mean.
That's the way to act on it. These are small things. These are small
things in symbols, nothing in what's the big deal with the small
things. But
obviously, we can only start thinking of the small things if
we've done other things. And if you start thinking of the small
things, we will also think of the big things, every little counts.
May Allah give us the tofi to follow 100% in the footsteps of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam
Hadith number 83, which is the next generation in this hadith is
related from our era, the Allahu Ana, she says that Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam can have your Hibou Dannemann must Tatara
used to like to do things from the right, as much as he could. So in
anything that he could do from the right, he would do so he would
love to do it. He used to like to give preference to the right side
as much as possible in anything that was of some dignity and
honor.
That doesn't mean that you know, he would insist on it when you
couldn't do it. You know, it's not about being extreme about it, as
far as he could, he would do it the right on the right way. And
that's why there are other mentioned that, you know, for
example, if you're putting your glasses on, you know, how is there
a right and left on that? Well, there is you, you know, it's which
side do you kind of start from as such, right, which side do you
start from so it's just a slight, but just to have that conscious
there means that you're connected? That's the main thing. It's a
state that we're speaking about.
We're obsessed with the Sunnah. Hamdulillah you know, that's an
obsession you should have.
So let people love hamdulillah we're obsessed with the Sunnah and
prophets Allah some said you will be with whom you love.
Now there's a few points that are mentioned that I have discussed
here, which is that let's just say that there is something
right so to finish off the Hadith first before we discuss that, it
says that the process I'm used to love the right as much as far as
possible. FITARA Judy, you attend Rudy he will tahari he he used to
love the right When Tara jewel than Aaron and the whole when
combing his hair when wearing his slippers, footwear and purifying
himself that's what we'll do we wash the right over for before the
left right in most things.
But that's just an example. I showed the Allah who is giving she
sing in everything, but these are the main things that you normally
do. Actually, it is one Hadith left in this chapter, which is
related from Mohammed the blue screen. The famous dream
interpreter from Abu Huraira the Hola, Juan Catalina and Rasulullah
sallallahu Are you some Clevedon? Well, it'd be bhaker Where Omar
are the Allahu Anhu OMA just to finish off a narration with a
description. Because in the middle he he brought those Hadees which
are general guidance about how to wear them. So he's saying here
that the Prophet salallahu idea, some slipper and also a Booba
chronometer, the Allahu Anhu slippers had two strips, double
strips are the Allahu Anhu The question we will deal with some
other issues next time. But the main thing is what a woman aka
Arkadin were hidden with Myrna the Allah one
the first person to just have one strap so until it with Amanda the
alone time oh but normally the last time the custom it seemed was
to have two straps with Amanda the alarm then went on to using one
strapped
so what essentially what the what we understand from this hadith is
that you do whatever is the normal way of doing things in your custom
there is no one way is not necessary over the other 201
Whatever is found it's fine.
Just like I love him
