1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,139 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:07,139 --> 00:00:09,199 With pens of longing, 3 00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:11,779 And the ink of love, 4 00:00:11,779 --> 00:00:15,869 We record lines more precious than gold, 5 00:00:15,869 --> 00:00:17,870 In describing the Master of all creation, 6 00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:20,870 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 7 00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:30,539 The Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il). 8 00:00:30,539 --> 00:00:35,539 Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the leather socks (khuff) of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 9 00:00:35,539 --> 00:00:40,329 On the authority of ‘Abdullah Ibn Buraydah, from his father, 10 00:00:40,329 --> 00:00:44,329 That the Negus (al-Najashi) gifted the Prophet, peace be upon him, 11 00:00:44,329 --> 00:00:48,329 Two black, plain leather socks. 12 00:00:48,329 --> 00:00:51,329 He wore them, then performed wudu, 13 00:00:51,329 --> 00:00:53,329 And wiped over them. 14 00:00:53,329 --> 00:00:56,450 In this hadith, 15 00:00:56,450 --> 00:00:58,450 The noble Companion informs us, 16 00:00:58,450 --> 00:01:01,450 Buraydah Ibn al-Husayb, may Allah be pleased with him, 17 00:01:01,450 --> 00:01:03,450 That the Negus, 18 00:01:03,450 --> 00:01:05,450 Who was the King of Abyssinia, 19 00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:07,450 And whose name was Ashama Ibn Abjar, 20 00:01:08,450 --> 00:01:13,450 Was the king of Abyssinia during the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 21 00:01:13,450 --> 00:01:15,450 And he embraced Islam during his lifetime, 22 00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:17,450 Though he did not migrate to him, 23 00:01:17,450 --> 00:01:20,450 And the Prophet, peace be upon him, prayed over him, 24 00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:22,450 The funeral prayer in absentia. 25 00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:26,739 His statement "gifted the Prophet, peace be upon him," 26 00:01:26,739 --> 00:01:29,739 "Two black, plain leather socks," 27 00:01:29,739 --> 00:01:31,739 Means their color was black, 28 00:01:31,739 --> 00:01:33,739 And "plain" (sadhijayn), 29 00:01:33,739 --> 00:01:35,739 Means they were unadorned, 30 00:01:35,739 --> 00:01:37,739 Without hair on them, 31 00:01:37,739 --> 00:01:40,799 And without any color contrasting with their own. 32 00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:42,799 His statement "he wore them," 33 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:44,799 Means he was in a state of purity (tahara), 34 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:47,799 And the particle "fa" (then) implies immediacy. 35 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:49,799 The Prophet, peace be upon him, 36 00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:52,799 Was gracious in accepting the gift, 37 00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:55,799 And hastened to make use of it, 38 00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:59,799 Which brings joy and happiness to the giver. 39 00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:00,799 And his statement, 40 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:03,799 "Then he performed wudu and wiped over them," 41 00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:06,799 For wiping over the leather socks, the hadiths are mutawatir (widely transmitted), 42 00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:09,800 From the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,800 Both while traveling and while at home. 44 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,080 From al-Sha‘bi, who said: 45 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,080 Al-Mughirah Ibn Shu‘bah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 46 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,080 Dihyah gifted the Prophet, peace be upon him, 47 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,080 Two leather socks, and he wore them. 48 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,259 In this hadith, 49 00:02:29,259 --> 00:02:32,259 It is mentioned that Dihyah al-Kalbi, may Allah be pleased with him, 50 00:02:32,259 --> 00:02:35,259 Gifted the Prophet, peace be upon him, 51 00:02:35,259 --> 00:02:38,259 Two leather socks, and he wore them, 52 00:02:38,259 --> 00:02:40,259 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 53 00:02:40,259 --> 00:02:42,259 This is among the many virtues 54 00:02:42,259 --> 00:02:45,259 Of the character of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 55 00:02:45,259 --> 00:02:46,259 With his Companions, 56 00:02:46,259 --> 00:02:49,259 As he would accept their gifts, 57 00:02:49,259 --> 00:02:56,530 And reward them with something even better. 58 00:02:56,530 --> 00:03:03,870 Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the sandals (na‘l) of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. 59 00:03:03,870 --> 00:03:05,870 On the authority of Qatadah, who said: 60 00:03:05,870 --> 00:03:08,870 I asked Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 61 00:03:08,870 --> 00:03:13,870 "What were the sandals of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, like?" 62 00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:15,870 He said: 63 00:03:15,870 --> 00:03:17,870 "They had two straps (qibalan)." 64 00:03:17,870 --> 00:03:21,599 In this hadith, 65 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:24,599 Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, was asked 66 00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:28,599 About the nature of the sandals of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 67 00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:31,599 And he informed us that they had two straps. 68 00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:34,599 "Qibalan" is the dual form of "qibal," 69 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:42,599 Which is the fastener or the leather thong that is tied, the strap that goes between the two toes. 70 00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:48,599 It helps with a person's comfort in walking and the stability of the footwear on the foot. 71 00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:56,599 These sandals are closest to what people today call "zanuba" (flip-flops). 72 00:03:56,599 --> 00:04:01,849 On the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 73 00:04:01,849 --> 00:04:06,849 The sandals of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had two straps, 74 00:04:06,849 --> 00:04:09,849 With double-layered thongs. 75 00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:18,129 In this hadith as well, the Companion ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, describes 76 00:04:18,129 --> 00:04:21,129 The sandals of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 77 00:04:21,129 --> 00:04:24,129 As having two straps, 78 00:04:24,129 --> 00:04:26,129 And the meaning of "two straps" has already passed. 79 00:04:26,129 --> 00:04:29,129 "With double-layered thongs" (mathnay shirakihima), 80 00:04:29,129 --> 00:04:31,129 "Mathnay" comes from "tathniya" (doubling), 81 00:04:31,129 --> 00:04:34,129 Which is making a thing into two. 82 00:04:34,129 --> 00:04:37,129 The "shirak" is one of the straps of the sandal, 83 00:04:37,129 --> 00:04:43,129 Meaning that the sandal of the Prophet, peace be upon him, had a fastener, 84 00:04:43,129 --> 00:04:46,129 In which two thongs had been placed. 85 00:04:46,129 --> 00:04:50,790 On the authority of ‘Isa Ibn Tahman, who said: 86 00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:54,790 Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, brought out to us 87 00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:56,790 Two hairless sandals, 88 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:58,790 That had two straps. 89 00:04:59,790 --> 00:05:00,790 He said: 90 00:05:00,790 --> 00:05:04,790 Then Thabit later narrated to me from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, 91 00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:10,790 That they were the ones worn by the Prophet, peace be upon him. 92 00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:14,040 In this hadith, 93 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,040 Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 94 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,040 Brought out to some of the Tabi‘un two hairless sandals, 95 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,040 That had two straps. 96 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,040 "Jardawayn" (hairless), 97 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,040 Means there was no hair on them. 98 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,040 It is said "ard jardā'" (barren land), 99 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,040 Meaning there is no vegetation on it. 100 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,139 Then this Tabi‘i said: 101 00:05:33,139 --> 00:05:36,139 Thabit narrated to me after that, 102 00:05:36,139 --> 00:05:38,139 From Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, 103 00:05:38,139 --> 00:05:44,139 That those two sandals belonged to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 104 00:05:44,139 --> 00:05:48,139 And Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, had kept them 105 00:05:48,139 --> 00:05:53,139 After the passing of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 106 00:05:53,139 --> 00:05:56,420 On the authority of ‘Ubayd Ibn Jurayj, 107 00:05:56,420 --> 00:06:00,420 That he said to Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both: 108 00:06:00,420 --> 00:06:04,420 "I see you wearing sabti sandals." 109 00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:05,420 He said: 110 00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:12,420 "I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, wearing sandals that had no hair on them, 111 00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:14,420 And he would perform wudu while wearing them, 112 00:06:14,420 --> 00:06:18,420 So I love to wear them." 113 00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:21,699 In this hadith, 114 00:06:21,699 --> 00:06:23,699 ‘Ubayd Ibn Jurayj asks 115 00:06:23,699 --> 00:06:26,699 ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, 116 00:06:26,699 --> 00:06:27,699 Saying: 117 00:06:27,699 --> 00:06:31,699 "I see you wearing these sabti sandals." 118 00:06:31,699 --> 00:06:34,699 "Sabti" is attributed to "sabt," 119 00:06:34,699 --> 00:06:37,699 Which is tanned cowhide. 120 00:06:37,699 --> 00:06:39,699 It is called "sabti," 121 00:06:39,699 --> 00:06:42,699 Because its hair has been "subitat" (removed) from it, 122 00:06:42,699 --> 00:06:45,699 Meaning it was removed through a tanning process. 123 00:06:45,699 --> 00:06:47,699 So "sabti" sandals 124 00:06:47,699 --> 00:06:50,699 Are those made from tanned cowhide, 125 00:06:50,699 --> 00:06:53,699 From which the hair has fallen off. 126 00:06:53,699 --> 00:06:55,819 And his statement, may Allah be pleased with him, 127 00:06:55,819 --> 00:06:58,819 "I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 128 00:06:58,819 --> 00:07:02,819 Wearing sandals that had no hair on them," 129 00:07:02,819 --> 00:07:04,819 This is the meaning of "sabti." 130 00:07:04,819 --> 00:07:08,819 When sandals are made from the hides of cattle, 131 00:07:08,819 --> 00:07:12,819 Sometimes the hair remains on them completely, 132 00:07:12,819 --> 00:07:15,819 Sometimes light hair remains on them, 133 00:07:15,819 --> 00:07:18,819 And sometimes it is removed entirely. 134 00:07:18,819 --> 00:07:22,819 At that point, the sandal is described as "jardā'" (hairless), 135 00:07:22,819 --> 00:07:24,819 And as "sabti." 136 00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:28,019 And his statement "he would perform wudu while wearing them," 137 00:07:28,019 --> 00:07:31,019 It is possible that he, peace be upon him, 138 00:07:31,019 --> 00:07:33,019 Performed wudu while they were on his feet, 139 00:07:33,019 --> 00:07:35,019 And did not take them off, 140 00:07:35,019 --> 00:07:38,019 Or that he performed wudu and then put on the sandals, 141 00:07:38,019 --> 00:07:42,019 While his feet were still damp from the wudu. 142 00:07:42,019 --> 00:07:45,300 And his statement "so I love to wear them," 143 00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:49,300 Meaning ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, loved 144 00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:51,300 To wear sabti sandals, 145 00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:54,300 Because he saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, 146 00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:57,300 Wearing them. 147 00:07:57,300 --> 00:08:00,300 And ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, 148 00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:03,300 Is known for being among the people most 149 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:08,300 Loving and following of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 150 00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:13,389 On the authority of ‘Umar Ibn Hurayth, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 151 00:08:13,389 --> 00:08:16,389 I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 152 00:08:16,389 --> 00:08:20,389 Praying in two patched sandals. 153 00:08:20,389 --> 00:08:23,610 In this hadith, 154 00:08:23,610 --> 00:08:25,610 The Companion informs us, 155 00:08:25,610 --> 00:08:28,610 That Hurayth, may Allah be pleased with him, 156 00:08:28,610 --> 00:08:31,610 Saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, 157 00:08:31,610 --> 00:08:34,610 Praying in two patched sandals, 158 00:08:34,610 --> 00:08:37,610 Meaning they were sewn and mended. 159 00:08:37,610 --> 00:08:39,610 "Khasf" and "raq'" (patching), 160 00:08:39,610 --> 00:08:42,610 Is the joining of one thing to another. 161 00:08:42,610 --> 00:08:44,610 And he, peace be upon him, 162 00:08:44,610 --> 00:08:46,610 Used to patch his own sandals with his own hands, 163 00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:49,610 As in the hadith of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, 164 00:08:49,610 --> 00:08:51,610 When it was said to her: 165 00:08:51,610 --> 00:08:54,610 "What did the Prophet, peace be upon him, 166 00:08:54,610 --> 00:08:56,610 Do in his house?" 167 00:08:56,610 --> 00:08:59,610 She said: "Just as one of you does; 168 00:08:59,610 --> 00:09:01,610 He would patch his sandals, 169 00:09:01,610 --> 00:09:03,769 And mend his garment." 170 00:09:03,769 --> 00:09:04,769 And in the hadith is 171 00:09:04,769 --> 00:09:07,769 His prayer, peace be upon him, 172 00:09:07,769 --> 00:09:08,769 In sandals, 173 00:09:08,769 --> 00:09:10,769 And this has been authentically established from him, 174 00:09:10,769 --> 00:09:13,769 In his Sunnah, both in word and deed. 175 00:09:13,769 --> 00:09:15,769 So there is no issue regarding its permissibility, 176 00:09:15,769 --> 00:09:17,769 When the floors of the mosques 177 00:09:17,769 --> 00:09:19,769 Are dirt and gravel, 178 00:09:19,769 --> 00:09:22,769 Or when the prayer is in the desert. 179 00:09:22,769 --> 00:09:25,769 However, after mosques were prepared with carpets, 180 00:09:25,769 --> 00:09:27,769 It is appropriate for whoever enters the mosque 181 00:09:27,769 --> 00:09:31,769 To remove his sandals out of consideration for the cleanliness of the carpets, 182 00:09:31,769 --> 00:09:33,769 And to prevent harming the worshippers 183 00:09:33,769 --> 00:09:35,769 By what might affect the carpets, 184 00:09:35,769 --> 00:09:38,769 From the impurities on the soles of the shoes, 185 00:09:38,769 --> 00:09:40,769 Even if they are technically pure. 186 00:09:40,769 --> 00:09:45,399 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 187 00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:49,399 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 188 00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:51,399 "None of you should walk 189 00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:53,399 In one sandal; 190 00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:55,399 Let him wear them both, 191 00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:58,399 Or let him take them both off." 192 00:10:00,740 --> 00:10:02,740 The author, may Allah have mercy on him, has finished 193 00:10:02,740 --> 00:10:04,740 What relates to the description of his sandals, 194 00:10:04,740 --> 00:10:06,740 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 195 00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:08,740 And has begun to mention his guidance, 196 00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:10,740 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 197 00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:12,740 In wearing sandals, 198 00:10:12,740 --> 00:10:14,740 So he brought forth this hadith, 199 00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:17,740 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 200 00:10:17,740 --> 00:10:19,740 "None of you should walk" 201 00:10:19,740 --> 00:10:21,740 "in a single sandal." 202 00:10:21,740 --> 00:10:23,740 This means in a state where 203 00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:25,740 one foot is shod 204 00:10:25,740 --> 00:10:27,740 and the other is bare. 205 00:10:27,740 --> 00:10:29,779 His statement, 206 00:10:29,779 --> 00:10:31,779 "Let him put on both of them," 207 00:10:31,779 --> 00:10:33,779 or "let him take off both of them," 208 00:10:33,779 --> 00:10:35,779 means that one should either walk 209 00:10:35,779 --> 00:10:37,779 with both feet shod 210 00:10:37,779 --> 00:10:40,779 or walk with both feet bare. 211 00:10:40,779 --> 00:10:42,779 As for having 212 00:10:42,779 --> 00:10:44,779 one foot bare 213 00:10:44,779 --> 00:10:46,779 and the other shod, 214 00:10:46,779 --> 00:10:48,779 this is what the Prophet, 215 00:10:48,779 --> 00:10:50,779 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, forbade. 216 00:10:50,779 --> 00:10:51,779 It has been said 217 00:10:51,779 --> 00:10:53,779 that this is so one does not 218 00:10:53,779 --> 00:10:55,779 imitate the Shaytan, 219 00:10:55,779 --> 00:10:58,779 because it is mentioned in some narrations 220 00:10:58,779 --> 00:11:00,779 that the Shaytan walks 221 00:11:00,779 --> 00:11:02,779 with a single sandal. 222 00:11:02,779 --> 00:11:03,779 It has also been said 223 00:11:03,779 --> 00:11:05,779 that this is to avoid 224 00:11:05,779 --> 00:11:07,779 causing injustice to the body, 225 00:11:07,779 --> 00:11:09,779 for the Sharia has commanded man to be just, 226 00:11:09,779 --> 00:11:11,779 even with his own body. 227 00:11:11,779 --> 00:11:13,779 If one walks with a single sandal 228 00:11:13,779 --> 00:11:15,779 and the other foot is bare, 229 00:11:15,779 --> 00:11:17,779 and the ground is 230 00:11:17,779 --> 00:11:19,779 hot or cold, 231 00:11:19,779 --> 00:11:21,779 the bare foot is treated unjustly. 232 00:11:21,779 --> 00:11:23,779 The Sharia came 233 00:11:23,779 --> 00:11:26,129 to forbid injustice. 234 00:11:26,129 --> 00:11:28,129 It is mentioned that Sheikh 235 00:11:28,129 --> 00:11:30,129 Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, 236 00:11:30,129 --> 00:11:32,129 was asked by someone who said, 237 00:11:32,129 --> 00:11:34,129 "If the second sandal 238 00:11:34,129 --> 00:11:36,129 is a step away from me, 239 00:11:36,129 --> 00:11:38,129 or two steps, 240 00:11:38,129 --> 00:11:40,129 may I walk to it with one sandal?" 241 00:11:40,129 --> 00:11:42,129 The Sheikh replied, 242 00:11:42,129 --> 00:11:44,129 "If you are able 243 00:11:44,129 --> 00:11:46,129 not to contradict the Sunnah, 244 00:11:46,129 --> 00:11:48,129 even for a single step, then do so." 245 00:11:48,129 --> 00:11:51,379 On the authority of Jabir, 246 00:11:51,379 --> 00:11:53,379 may Allah be pleased with him, 247 00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:55,379 the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 248 00:11:55,379 --> 00:11:57,379 forbade a man from eating 249 00:11:57,379 --> 00:11:59,379 with his left hand, 250 00:11:59,379 --> 00:12:01,379 or walking in a single sandal. 251 00:12:01,379 --> 00:12:05,139 This hadith indicates 252 00:12:05,139 --> 00:12:07,139 that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 253 00:12:07,139 --> 00:12:09,139 forbade a man from eating 254 00:12:09,139 --> 00:12:11,139 with his left hand. 255 00:12:11,139 --> 00:12:13,139 This ruling is not restricted 256 00:12:13,139 --> 00:12:15,139 to men only; 257 00:12:15,139 --> 00:12:17,139 rather, the address is directed to women 258 00:12:17,139 --> 00:12:19,200 as well. 259 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,200 Eating with the left hand 260 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,200 also includes the prohibition of drinking with it. 261 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,200 For the Shaytan eats 262 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,669 and drinks with his left hand. 263 00:12:28,669 --> 00:12:30,669 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, 264 00:12:30,669 --> 00:12:32,669 may Allah be pleased with him, 265 00:12:32,669 --> 00:12:34,669 the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 266 00:12:34,669 --> 00:12:36,669 said: 267 00:12:36,669 --> 00:12:38,669 "When one of you puts on sandals, 268 00:12:38,669 --> 00:12:40,669 let him begin with the right, 269 00:12:40,669 --> 00:12:42,669 and when he takes them off, let him begin with the left." 270 00:12:42,669 --> 00:12:44,669 So let the right foot 271 00:12:44,669 --> 00:12:46,669 be the first to be shod 272 00:12:46,669 --> 00:12:48,669 and the last to be unshod. 273 00:12:48,669 --> 00:12:52,460 This hadith shows 274 00:12:52,460 --> 00:12:54,460 that the right side is given precedence 275 00:12:54,460 --> 00:12:56,460 over the left in putting on footwear. 276 00:12:56,460 --> 00:12:58,460 This is why it was the practice of 277 00:12:58,460 --> 00:13:00,460 the Prophet, peace be upon him, 278 00:13:00,460 --> 00:13:02,460 to love starting with the right in matters 279 00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:04,460 that involve honor and adornment, 280 00:13:04,460 --> 00:13:06,460 such as grooming his hair, 281 00:13:06,460 --> 00:13:08,460 putting on his sandals, and all his affairs. 282 00:13:08,460 --> 00:13:10,460 He would prioritize 283 00:13:10,460 --> 00:13:12,460 the left in the opposite of that, 284 00:13:12,460 --> 00:13:14,460 such as taking off a sandal, 285 00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:16,460 entering the lavatory, 286 00:13:16,460 --> 00:13:18,460 and exiting the mosque. 287 00:13:18,460 --> 00:13:20,529 The reason for starting 288 00:13:20,529 --> 00:13:22,529 with the left when removing footwear 289 00:13:22,529 --> 00:13:24,529 is that wearing them is a form of honor, 290 00:13:24,529 --> 00:13:26,529 as it is a protection for the body. 291 00:13:26,529 --> 00:13:28,529 Since the right is 292 00:13:28,529 --> 00:13:30,529 more honorable than the left, 293 00:13:30,529 --> 00:13:32,529 it is given priority in wearing them, 294 00:13:32,529 --> 00:13:34,529 and delayed in removing them, 295 00:13:34,529 --> 00:13:36,529 so that the honor remains with it longer 296 00:13:36,529 --> 00:13:38,529 and it receives a greater share of it. 297 00:13:38,529 --> 00:13:40,529 Whoever begins 298 00:13:40,529 --> 00:13:42,529 putting on sandals with the left 299 00:13:42,529 --> 00:13:44,529 has acted poorly by contradicting 300 00:13:44,529 --> 00:13:46,529 the Sunnah, 301 00:13:46,529 --> 00:13:48,529 though it is not forbidden for him 302 00:13:48,529 --> 00:13:52,159 to wear his sandal. 303 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:54,159 On the authority of 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, 304 00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:56,159 she said: 305 00:13:56,159 --> 00:13:58,159 "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 306 00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:00,159 loved to start with the right as much as he could 307 00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:02,159 in his grooming, 308 00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:04,159 his putting on of sandals, and his purification." 309 00:14:04,159 --> 00:14:07,889 In this hadith, 310 00:14:07,889 --> 00:14:09,889 the Mother of the Believers, 311 00:14:09,889 --> 00:14:11,889 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, informs us 312 00:14:11,889 --> 00:14:13,889 that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 313 00:14:13,889 --> 00:14:15,889 used to love 314 00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:17,889 starting with the right when putting on 315 00:14:17,889 --> 00:14:19,889 his sandals, 316 00:14:19,889 --> 00:14:21,889 when combing his hair, 317 00:14:21,889 --> 00:14:23,889 when grooming it, 318 00:14:23,889 --> 00:14:25,889 and in his purification, 319 00:14:25,889 --> 00:14:27,889 so he would begin with the right hand 320 00:14:27,889 --> 00:14:29,889 and the right foot. 321 00:14:29,889 --> 00:14:31,889 Her statement "as much as he could" 322 00:14:31,889 --> 00:14:33,889 is evidence for maintaining this practice 323 00:14:33,889 --> 00:14:35,889 wherever possible, 324 00:14:35,889 --> 00:14:37,889 whenever he was able, 325 00:14:37,889 --> 00:14:41,679 and when no obstacle prevented him from doing so. 326 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:43,679 The hadith has more to follow, 327 00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:45,679 if Allah wills. 328 00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:47,679 And Allah knows best. 329 00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:49,679 Upon our Prophet Muhammad, 330 00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:51,679 and upon his family and companions, 331 00:14:51,679 --> 00:14:53,679 all of them.
