WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.139 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:07.139 --> 00:00:09.199 With pens of longing, 00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.779 And the ink of love, 00:00:11.779 --> 00:00:15.869 We record lines more precious than gold, 00:00:15.869 --> 00:00:17.870 In describing the Master of all creation, 00:00:17.870 --> 00:00:20.870 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:00:20.870 --> 00:00:30.539 The Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il). 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. 00:00:35.539 --> 00:00:40.329 On the authority of ‘Abdullah Ibn Buraydah, from his father, 00:00:40.329 --> 00:00:44.329 That the Negus (al-Najashi) gifted the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:00:44.329 --> 00:00:48.329 Two black, plain leather socks. 00:00:48.329 --> 00:00:51.329 He wore them, then performed wudu, 00:00:51.329 --> 00:00:53.329 And wiped over them. 00:00:53.329 --> 00:00:56.450 In this hadith, 00:00:56.450 --> 00:00:58.450 The noble Companion informs us, 00:00:58.450 --> 00:01:01.450 Buraydah Ibn al-Husayb, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:01:01.450 --> 00:01:03.450 That the Negus, 00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:05.450 Who was the King of Abyssinia, 00:01:05.450 --> 00:01:07.450 And whose name was Ashama Ibn Abjar, 00:01:08.450 --> 00:01:13.450 Was the king of Abyssinia during the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:01:13.450 --> 00:01:15.450 And he embraced Islam during his lifetime, 00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:17.450 Though he did not migrate to him, 00:01:17.450 --> 00:01:20.450 And the Prophet, peace be upon him, prayed over him, 00:01:20.450 --> 00:01:22.450 The funeral prayer in absentia. 00:01:22.450 --> 00:01:26.739 His statement "gifted the Prophet, peace be upon him," 00:01:26.739 --> 00:01:29.739 "Two black, plain leather socks," 00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:31.739 Means their color was black, 00:01:31.739 --> 00:01:33.739 And "plain" (sadhijayn), 00:01:33.739 --> 00:01:35.739 Means they were unadorned, 00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:37.739 Without hair on them, 00:01:37.739 --> 00:01:40.799 And without any color contrasting with their own. 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.799 His statement "he wore them," 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:44.799 Means he was in a state of purity (tahara), 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.799 And the particle "fa" (then) implies immediacy. 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.799 The Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.799 Was gracious in accepting the gift, 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.799 And hastened to make use of it, 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.799 Which brings joy and happiness to the giver. 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:00.799 And his statement, 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.799 "Then he performed wudu and wiped over them," 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.799 For wiping over the leather socks, the hadiths are mutawatir (widely transmitted), 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.800 From the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:11.800 Both while traveling and while at home. 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:16.080 From al-Sha‘bi, who said: 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.080 Al-Mughirah Ibn Shu‘bah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.080 Dihyah gifted the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.080 Two leather socks, and he wore them. 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.259 In this hadith, 00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:32.259 It is mentioned that Dihyah al-Kalbi, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:02:32.259 --> 00:02:35.259 Gifted the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:02:35.259 --> 00:02:38.259 Two leather socks, and he wore them, 00:02:38.259 --> 00:02:40.259 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:02:40.259 --> 00:02:42.259 This is among the many virtues 00:02:42.259 --> 00:02:45.259 Of the character of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:02:45.259 --> 00:02:46.259 With his Companions, 00:02:46.259 --> 00:02:49.259 As he would accept their gifts, 00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:56.530 And reward them with something even better. 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. 00:03:03.870 --> 00:03:05.870 On the authority of Qatadah, who said: 00:03:05.870 --> 00:03:08.870 I asked Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:03:08.870 --> 00:03:13.870 "What were the sandals of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, like?" 00:03:13.870 --> 00:03:15.870 He said: 00:03:15.870 --> 00:03:17.870 "They had two straps (qibalan)." 00:03:17.870 --> 00:03:21.599 In this hadith, 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.599 Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, was asked 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.599 About the nature of the sandals of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.599 And he informed us that they had two straps. 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.599 "Qibalan" is the dual form of "qibal," 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. 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. 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:56.599 These sandals are closest to what people today call "zanuba" (flip-flops). 00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:01.849 On the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:04:01.849 --> 00:04:06.849 The sandals of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had two straps, 00:04:06.849 --> 00:04:09.849 With double-layered thongs. 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 00:04:18.129 --> 00:04:21.129 The sandals of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:04:21.129 --> 00:04:24.129 As having two straps, 00:04:24.129 --> 00:04:26.129 And the meaning of "two straps" has already passed. 00:04:26.129 --> 00:04:29.129 "With double-layered thongs" (mathnay shirakihima), 00:04:29.129 --> 00:04:31.129 "Mathnay" comes from "tathniya" (doubling), 00:04:31.129 --> 00:04:34.129 Which is making a thing into two. 00:04:34.129 --> 00:04:37.129 The "shirak" is one of the straps of the sandal, 00:04:37.129 --> 00:04:43.129 Meaning that the sandal of the Prophet, peace be upon him, had a fastener, 00:04:43.129 --> 00:04:46.129 In which two thongs had been placed. 00:04:46.129 --> 00:04:50.790 On the authority of ‘Isa Ibn Tahman, who said: 00:04:50.790 --> 00:04:54.790 Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, brought out to us 00:04:54.790 --> 00:04:56.790 Two hairless sandals, 00:04:56.790 --> 00:04:58.790 That had two straps. 00:04:59.790 --> 00:05:00.790 He said: 00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:04.790 Then Thabit later narrated to me from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:05:04.790 --> 00:05:10.790 That they were the ones worn by the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:05:10.790 --> 00:05:14.040 In this hadith, 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.040 Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.040 Brought out to some of the Tabi‘un two hairless sandals, 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.040 That had two straps. 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.040 "Jardawayn" (hairless), 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.040 Means there was no hair on them. 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.040 It is said "ard jardā'" (barren land), 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.040 Meaning there is no vegetation on it. 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.139 Then this Tabi‘i said: 00:05:33.139 --> 00:05:36.139 Thabit narrated to me after that, 00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:38.139 From Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:44.139 That those two sandals belonged to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:05:44.139 --> 00:05:48.139 And Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, had kept them 00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:53.139 After the passing of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:05:53.139 --> 00:05:56.420 On the authority of ‘Ubayd Ibn Jurayj, 00:05:56.420 --> 00:06:00.420 That he said to Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both: 00:06:00.420 --> 00:06:04.420 "I see you wearing sabti sandals." 00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:05.420 He said: 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, 00:06:12.420 --> 00:06:14.420 And he would perform wudu while wearing them, 00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:18.420 So I love to wear them." 00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:21.699 In this hadith, 00:06:21.699 --> 00:06:23.699 ‘Ubayd Ibn Jurayj asks 00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:26.699 ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, 00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:27.699 Saying: 00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:31.699 "I see you wearing these sabti sandals." 00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:34.699 "Sabti" is attributed to "sabt," 00:06:34.699 --> 00:06:37.699 Which is tanned cowhide. 00:06:37.699 --> 00:06:39.699 It is called "sabti," 00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:42.699 Because its hair has been "subitat" (removed) from it, 00:06:42.699 --> 00:06:45.699 Meaning it was removed through a tanning process. 00:06:45.699 --> 00:06:47.699 So "sabti" sandals 00:06:47.699 --> 00:06:50.699 Are those made from tanned cowhide, 00:06:50.699 --> 00:06:53.699 From which the hair has fallen off. 00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:55.819 And his statement, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:06:55.819 --> 00:06:58.819 "I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:06:58.819 --> 00:07:02.819 Wearing sandals that had no hair on them," 00:07:02.819 --> 00:07:04.819 This is the meaning of "sabti." 00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:08.819 When sandals are made from the hides of cattle, 00:07:08.819 --> 00:07:12.819 Sometimes the hair remains on them completely, 00:07:12.819 --> 00:07:15.819 Sometimes light hair remains on them, 00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:18.819 And sometimes it is removed entirely. 00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:22.819 At that point, the sandal is described as "jardā'" (hairless), 00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:24.819 And as "sabti." 00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:28.019 And his statement "he would perform wudu while wearing them," 00:07:28.019 --> 00:07:31.019 It is possible that he, peace be upon him, 00:07:31.019 --> 00:07:33.019 Performed wudu while they were on his feet, 00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:35.019 And did not take them off, 00:07:35.019 --> 00:07:38.019 Or that he performed wudu and then put on the sandals, 00:07:38.019 --> 00:07:42.019 While his feet were still damp from the wudu. 00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:45.300 And his statement "so I love to wear them," 00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:49.300 Meaning ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, loved 00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:51.300 To wear sabti sandals, 00:07:51.300 --> 00:07:54.300 Because he saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:07:55.300 --> 00:07:57.300 Wearing them. 00:07:57.300 --> 00:08:00.300 And ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, 00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:03.300 Is known for being among the people most 00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:08.300 Loving and following of the Prophet, peace be upon him. 00:08:08.300 --> 00:08:13.389 On the authority of ‘Umar Ibn Hurayth, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:08:13.389 --> 00:08:16.389 I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:08:16.389 --> 00:08:20.389 Praying in two patched sandals. 00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:23.610 In this hadith, 00:08:23.610 --> 00:08:25.610 The Companion informs us, 00:08:25.610 --> 00:08:28.610 That Hurayth, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:08:28.610 --> 00:08:31.610 Saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:08:31.610 --> 00:08:34.610 Praying in two patched sandals, 00:08:34.610 --> 00:08:37.610 Meaning they were sewn and mended. 00:08:37.610 --> 00:08:39.610 "Khasf" and "raq'" (patching), 00:08:39.610 --> 00:08:42.610 Is the joining of one thing to another. 00:08:42.610 --> 00:08:44.610 And he, peace be upon him, 00:08:44.610 --> 00:08:46.610 Used to patch his own sandals with his own hands, 00:08:46.610 --> 00:08:49.610 As in the hadith of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, 00:08:49.610 --> 00:08:51.610 When it was said to her: 00:08:51.610 --> 00:08:54.610 "What did the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:08:54.610 --> 00:08:56.610 Do in his house?" 00:08:56.610 --> 00:08:59.610 She said: "Just as one of you does; 00:08:59.610 --> 00:09:01.610 He would patch his sandals, 00:09:01.610 --> 00:09:03.769 And mend his garment." 00:09:03.769 --> 00:09:04.769 And in the hadith is 00:09:04.769 --> 00:09:07.769 His prayer, peace be upon him, 00:09:07.769 --> 00:09:08.769 In sandals, 00:09:08.769 --> 00:09:10.769 And this has been authentically established from him, 00:09:10.769 --> 00:09:13.769 In his Sunnah, both in word and deed. 00:09:13.769 --> 00:09:15.769 So there is no issue regarding its permissibility, 00:09:15.769 --> 00:09:17.769 When the floors of the mosques 00:09:17.769 --> 00:09:19.769 Are dirt and gravel, 00:09:19.769 --> 00:09:22.769 Or when the prayer is in the desert. 00:09:22.769 --> 00:09:25.769 However, after mosques were prepared with carpets, 00:09:25.769 --> 00:09:27.769 It is appropriate for whoever enters the mosque 00:09:27.769 --> 00:09:31.769 To remove his sandals out of consideration for the cleanliness of the carpets, 00:09:31.769 --> 00:09:33.769 And to prevent harming the worshippers 00:09:33.769 --> 00:09:35.769 By what might affect the carpets, 00:09:35.769 --> 00:09:38.769 From the impurities on the soles of the shoes, 00:09:38.769 --> 00:09:40.769 Even if they are technically pure. 00:09:40.769 --> 00:09:45.399 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.399 That the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.399 "None of you should walk 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.399 In one sandal; 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:55.399 Let him wear them both, 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.399 Or let him take them both off." 00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:02.740 The author, may Allah have mercy on him, has finished 00:10:02.740 --> 00:10:04.740 What relates to the description of his sandals, 00:10:04.740 --> 00:10:06.740 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:10:06.740 --> 00:10:08.740 And has begun to mention his guidance, 00:10:08.740 --> 00:10:10.740 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:12.740 In wearing sandals, 00:10:12.740 --> 00:10:14.740 So he brought forth this hadith, 00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:17.740 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:19.740 "None of you should walk" 00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:21.740 "in a single sandal." 00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:23.740 This means in a state where 00:10:23.740 --> 00:10:25.740 one foot is shod 00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:27.740 and the other is bare. 00:10:27.740 --> 00:10:29.779 His statement, 00:10:29.779 --> 00:10:31.779 "Let him put on both of them," 00:10:31.779 --> 00:10:33.779 or "let him take off both of them," 00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:35.779 means that one should either walk 00:10:35.779 --> 00:10:37.779 with both feet shod 00:10:37.779 --> 00:10:40.779 or walk with both feet bare. 00:10:40.779 --> 00:10:42.779 As for having 00:10:42.779 --> 00:10:44.779 one foot bare 00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:46.779 and the other shod, 00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:48.779 this is what the Prophet, 00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:50.779 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, forbade. 00:10:50.779 --> 00:10:51.779 It has been said 00:10:51.779 --> 00:10:53.779 that this is so one does not 00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:55.779 imitate the Shaytan, 00:10:55.779 --> 00:10:58.779 because it is mentioned in some narrations 00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:00.779 that the Shaytan walks 00:11:00.779 --> 00:11:02.779 with a single sandal. 00:11:02.779 --> 00:11:03.779 It has also been said 00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:05.779 that this is to avoid 00:11:05.779 --> 00:11:07.779 causing injustice to the body, 00:11:07.779 --> 00:11:09.779 for the Sharia has commanded man to be just, 00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:11.779 even with his own body. 00:11:11.779 --> 00:11:13.779 If one walks with a single sandal 00:11:13.779 --> 00:11:15.779 and the other foot is bare, 00:11:15.779 --> 00:11:17.779 and the ground is 00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:19.779 hot or cold, 00:11:19.779 --> 00:11:21.779 the bare foot is treated unjustly. 00:11:21.779 --> 00:11:23.779 The Sharia came 00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:26.129 to forbid injustice. 00:11:26.129 --> 00:11:28.129 It is mentioned that Sheikh 00:11:28.129 --> 00:11:30.129 Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, 00:11:30.129 --> 00:11:32.129 was asked by someone who said, 00:11:32.129 --> 00:11:34.129 "If the second sandal 00:11:34.129 --> 00:11:36.129 is a step away from me, 00:11:36.129 --> 00:11:38.129 or two steps, 00:11:38.129 --> 00:11:40.129 may I walk to it with one sandal?" 00:11:40.129 --> 00:11:42.129 The Sheikh replied, 00:11:42.129 --> 00:11:44.129 "If you are able 00:11:44.129 --> 00:11:46.129 not to contradict the Sunnah, 00:11:46.129 --> 00:11:48.129 even for a single step, then do so." 00:11:48.129 --> 00:11:51.379 On the authority of Jabir, 00:11:51.379 --> 00:11:53.379 may Allah be pleased with him, 00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:55.379 the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:11:55.379 --> 00:11:57.379 forbade a man from eating 00:11:57.379 --> 00:11:59.379 with his left hand, 00:11:59.379 --> 00:12:01.379 or walking in a single sandal. 00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:05.139 This hadith indicates 00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:07.139 that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:09.139 forbade a man from eating 00:12:09.139 --> 00:12:11.139 with his left hand. 00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:13.139 This ruling is not restricted 00:12:13.139 --> 00:12:15.139 to men only; 00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:17.139 rather, the address is directed to women 00:12:17.139 --> 00:12:19.200 as well. 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.200 Eating with the left hand 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.200 also includes the prohibition of drinking with it. 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.200 For the Shaytan eats 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.669 and drinks with his left hand. 00:12:28.669 --> 00:12:30.669 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, 00:12:30.669 --> 00:12:32.669 may Allah be pleased with him, 00:12:32.669 --> 00:12:34.669 the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:12:34.669 --> 00:12:36.669 said: 00:12:36.669 --> 00:12:38.669 "When one of you puts on sandals, 00:12:38.669 --> 00:12:40.669 let him begin with the right, 00:12:40.669 --> 00:12:42.669 and when he takes them off, let him begin with the left." 00:12:42.669 --> 00:12:44.669 So let the right foot 00:12:44.669 --> 00:12:46.669 be the first to be shod 00:12:46.669 --> 00:12:48.669 and the last to be unshod. 00:12:48.669 --> 00:12:52.460 This hadith shows 00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:54.460 that the right side is given precedence 00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:56.460 over the left in putting on footwear. 00:12:56.460 --> 00:12:58.460 This is why it was the practice of 00:12:58.460 --> 00:13:00.460 the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:13:00.460 --> 00:13:02.460 to love starting with the right in matters 00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:04.460 that involve honor and adornment, 00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:06.460 such as grooming his hair, 00:13:06.460 --> 00:13:08.460 putting on his sandals, and all his affairs. 00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:10.460 He would prioritize 00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:12.460 the left in the opposite of that, 00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:14.460 such as taking off a sandal, 00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:16.460 entering the lavatory, 00:13:16.460 --> 00:13:18.460 and exiting the mosque. 00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:20.529 The reason for starting 00:13:20.529 --> 00:13:22.529 with the left when removing footwear 00:13:22.529 --> 00:13:24.529 is that wearing them is a form of honor, 00:13:24.529 --> 00:13:26.529 as it is a protection for the body. 00:13:26.529 --> 00:13:28.529 Since the right is 00:13:28.529 --> 00:13:30.529 more honorable than the left, 00:13:30.529 --> 00:13:32.529 it is given priority in wearing them, 00:13:32.529 --> 00:13:34.529 and delayed in removing them, 00:13:34.529 --> 00:13:36.529 so that the honor remains with it longer 00:13:36.529 --> 00:13:38.529 and it receives a greater share of it. 00:13:38.529 --> 00:13:40.529 Whoever begins 00:13:40.529 --> 00:13:42.529 putting on sandals with the left 00:13:42.529 --> 00:13:44.529 has acted poorly by contradicting 00:13:44.529 --> 00:13:46.529 the Sunnah, 00:13:46.529 --> 00:13:48.529 though it is not forbidden for him 00:13:48.529 --> 00:13:52.159 to wear his sandal. 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.159 On the authority of 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.159 she said: 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.159 "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:00.159 loved to start with the right as much as he could 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.159 in his grooming, 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.159 his putting on of sandals, and his purification." 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.889 In this hadith, 00:14:07.889 --> 00:14:09.889 the Mother of the Believers, 00:14:09.889 --> 00:14:11.889 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, informs us 00:14:11.889 --> 00:14:13.889 that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:14:13.889 --> 00:14:15.889 used to love 00:14:15.889 --> 00:14:17.889 starting with the right when putting on 00:14:17.889 --> 00:14:19.889 his sandals, 00:14:19.889 --> 00:14:21.889 when combing his hair, 00:14:21.889 --> 00:14:23.889 when grooming it, 00:14:23.889 --> 00:14:25.889 and in his purification, 00:14:25.889 --> 00:14:27.889 so he would begin with the right hand 00:14:27.889 --> 00:14:29.889 and the right foot. 00:14:29.889 --> 00:14:31.889 Her statement "as much as he could" 00:14:31.889 --> 00:14:33.889 is evidence for maintaining this practice 00:14:33.889 --> 00:14:35.889 wherever possible, 00:14:35.889 --> 00:14:37.889 whenever he was able, 00:14:37.889 --> 00:14:41.679 and when no obstacle prevented him from doing so. 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.679 The hadith has more to follow, 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.679 if Allah wills. 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.679 And Allah knows best. 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.679 Upon our Prophet Muhammad, 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.679 and upon his family and companions, 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:53.679 all of them.
