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 --> 00:00:11,740
And the ink of love,

4
00:00:11,740 --> 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 --> 00:00:22,670
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

7
00:00:22,670 --> 00:00:30,500
The Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il).

8
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:37,979
Chapter: What has been narrated regarding the clothing of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.

9
00:00:37,979 --> 00:00:41,979
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

10
00:00:41,979 --> 00:00:46,070
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

11
00:00:46,070 --> 00:00:48,070
Whenever he acquired a new garment,

12
00:00:48,070 --> 00:00:50,070
He would name it by its name,

13
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:54,070
Whether it was a turban, a shirt, or a mantle,

14
00:00:54,070 --> 00:00:56,070
Then he would say:

15
00:00:56,070 --> 00:00:59,070
"O Allah, to You be praise, as You have clothed me with it.

16
00:00:59,070 --> 00:01:03,070
I ask You for its good and the good of that for which it was made,

17
00:01:03,070 --> 00:01:08,829
And I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of that for which it was made."

18
00:01:08,829 --> 00:01:11,829
In this hadith is a blessed supplication,

19
00:01:11,829 --> 00:01:18,829
Which it is prescribed for a Muslim to recite when Allah, the Almighty, honors him with new clothing,

20
00:01:18,829 --> 00:01:22,829
Whether it is a shirt, a turban, or something similar.

21
00:01:22,829 --> 00:01:28,959
His saying, "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, whenever he acquired a new garment,"

22
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,959
Means whenever he wore a new piece of clothing.

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,959
"He would name it by its name,"

24
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,959
Meaning the conventional name,

25
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,959
Such as if it were a turban, a shirt, or a mantle.

26
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:40,959
It is as if he were to say,

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,959
"Allah has provided me with this turban,"

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,959
"Or has clothed me with this shirt."

29
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,959
And his saying, "Then he would say,"

30
00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:52,959
"O Allah, to You be praise, as You have clothed me with it,"

31
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:55,959
Meaning it is prescribed for him to supplicate by saying,

32
00:01:55,959 --> 00:02:03,959
"O Allah, to You be praise, as You have clothed me with this turban, or this shirt, or this mantle,"

33
00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:04,959
Naming it by its name,

34
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:09,960
While being mindful of Allah’s favor upon him through it,

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,960
As it covers his nakedness and he adorns himself with it,

36
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,960
Just as the Almighty said:

37
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:22,960
“O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame, and splendid vesture, but the raiment of restraint from evil, that is best. This is of the revelations of Allah, that they may remember.” (7:26)

38
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,090
Many people, when they wear a new garment,

39
00:02:27,090 --> 00:02:30,090
Their minds are diverted from praising Allah,

40
00:02:30,090 --> 00:02:34,090
Toward pride in their own ability to acquire the garment, for instance,

41
00:02:34,090 --> 00:02:41,090
Or their cleverness in selecting it, or the skill of the tailor, or other such notions.

42
00:02:41,090 --> 00:02:46,379
And his saying, "I ask You for its good and the good of that for which it was made,"

43
00:02:46,379 --> 00:02:49,379
Means: I ask You, my Lord, for the good of this garment,

44
00:02:49,379 --> 00:02:51,379
Which is its durability and cleanliness,

45
00:02:51,379 --> 00:02:55,379
And its being worn out of necessity and need.

46
00:02:55,379 --> 00:02:57,379
"And the good of that for which it was made,"

47
00:02:57,379 --> 00:03:01,379
Meaning the necessities for which clothing is made,

48
00:03:01,379 --> 00:03:04,379
Such as protection from heat, cold, and the covering of the nakedness.

49
00:03:04,379 --> 00:03:09,659
And his saying, "And I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of that for which it was made,"

50
00:03:09,659 --> 00:03:13,659
Meaning: I seek refuge in You, my Lord, from the evil of this garment,

51
00:03:13,659 --> 00:03:16,659
Such as it being unlawful or impure,

52
00:03:16,659 --> 00:03:19,659
Or that it does not last for a long time.

53
00:03:19,659 --> 00:03:21,659
"And the evil of that for which it was made,"

54
00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:25,659
Meaning that it becomes a cause for sins and evils,

55
00:03:25,659 --> 00:03:28,659
Such as arrogance, vanity, and pride,

56
00:03:29,659 --> 00:03:32,659
Or that the clothing contains forbidden images,

57
00:03:32,659 --> 00:03:36,659
Or that the garment is tight, revealing the shape of the nakedness,

58
00:03:36,659 --> 00:03:39,659
Or that it hangs below the ankles.

59
00:03:39,659 --> 00:03:44,909
On the authority of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

60
00:03:44,909 --> 00:03:51,909
The most beloved of garments to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to wear was the Hibarah.

61
00:03:51,909 --> 00:03:55,539
In this hadith,

62
00:03:55,539 --> 00:04:00,539
It is stated that the most beloved of garments to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was the Hibarah,

63
00:04:00,539 --> 00:04:05,539
Meaning the decorated one; "tahbir" is beautification and adornment.

64
00:04:05,539 --> 00:04:08,539
The Prophet, peace be upon him,

65
00:04:08,539 --> 00:04:13,539
Used to love wearing garments of cotton or linen,

66
00:04:13,539 --> 00:04:16,540
That had some form of adornment,

67
00:04:16,540 --> 00:04:19,540
Such as having, for example, black and white,

68
00:04:19,540 --> 00:04:21,540
Or black and red,

69
00:04:21,540 --> 00:04:24,540
Or that the garments were striped.

70
00:04:24,540 --> 00:04:29,670
Reconciling the hadith of Anas and the hadith of Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with them both,

71
00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:35,670
Is that the most beloved garment to the Prophet, peace be upon him, was the shirt,

72
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:38,670
In terms of its make and type,

73
00:04:38,670 --> 00:04:42,670
While the Hibarah was most beloved to him in terms of its color.

74
00:04:42,670 --> 00:04:46,980
On the authority of 'Awn ibn Abi Juhayfah,

75
00:04:46,980 --> 00:04:49,980
From his father, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

76
00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:54,980
I saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, wearing a red hullah (two-piece garment),

77
00:04:54,980 --> 00:04:58,980
As if I am looking at the brightness of his shins.

78
00:04:58,980 --> 00:05:02,980
Sufyan said: I think it was a Hibarah.

79
00:05:02,980 --> 00:05:10,649
In this hadith, the noble Companion Abu Juhayfah, may Allah be pleased with him, informs us,

80
00:05:10,649 --> 00:05:15,649
That he saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, wearing a red hullah.

81
00:05:15,649 --> 00:05:18,680
A hullah, as we have previously discussed,

82
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Consists only of two pieces: an izar (lower garment) and a rida' (upper garment).

83
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,899
Sufyan al-Thawri, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

84
00:05:26,899 --> 00:05:28,899
"I think it was a Hibarah,"

85
00:05:28,899 --> 00:05:31,899
Meaning it was striped and decorated.

86
00:05:31,899 --> 00:05:33,899
This is the correct view,

87
00:05:33,899 --> 00:05:38,899
Because the Prophet, peace be upon him, did not wear pure red,

88
00:05:38,899 --> 00:05:42,899
And he forbade that strictly.

89
00:05:42,899 --> 00:05:47,899
And his saying, "As if I am looking at the brightness of his shins,"

90
00:05:47,899 --> 00:05:50,899
"Brightness" refers to the radiance and luster,

91
00:05:50,899 --> 00:05:55,899
And this is a description of his noble body, peace be upon him.

92
00:05:55,899 --> 00:06:00,899
In this is an indication that his izar, peace be upon him,

93
00:06:00,899 --> 00:06:03,899
Reached to the middle of his shins.

94
00:06:03,899 --> 00:06:09,699
On the authority of al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

95
00:06:09,699 --> 00:06:14,699
I have never seen anyone look better in a red hullah

96
00:06:14,699 --> 00:06:18,699
Than the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him;

97
00:06:18,699 --> 00:06:23,699
His hair would reach near his shoulders.

98
00:06:23,699 --> 00:06:28,939
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

99
00:06:28,939 --> 00:06:32,939
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

100
00:06:32,939 --> 00:06:35,939
"You should wear white clothing,

101
00:06:35,939 --> 00:06:38,939
For your living to wear,

102
00:06:38,939 --> 00:06:41,939
And shroud your dead in it,

103
00:06:41,939 --> 00:06:44,939
For it is among the best of your garments."

104
00:06:44,939 --> 00:06:49,100
On the authority of Samurah ibn Jundub, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

105
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:53,100
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

106
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:55,100
"Wear white,

107
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:58,100
For it is cleaner and better,

108
00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:01,100
And shroud your dead in it."

109
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:05,290
In these two hadiths,

110
00:07:05,290 --> 00:07:08,290
Is the encouragement of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

111
00:07:08,290 --> 00:07:11,290
And his urging to wear white.

112
00:07:11,290 --> 00:07:15,290
White clothing is better than other colors,

113
00:07:15,290 --> 00:07:19,420
Whether it is pure white or striped.

114
00:07:19,420 --> 00:07:23,420
Among the reasons for preferring the white color for clothing,

115
00:07:23,420 --> 00:07:26,420
As he, peace be upon him, said,

116
00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:29,420
"For it is cleaner and better,"

117
00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:33,420
Is that it is distinguished when washed by its pleasantness and purity,

118
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:36,420
And the appearance of its clarity.

119
00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:40,420
If any dirt is found on it, it appears immediately,

120
00:07:40,420 --> 00:07:42,420
Unlike other garments,

121
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:46,449
Which may become dirty without the dirt being visible.

122
00:07:46,449 --> 00:07:49,449
This is why he, peace be upon him, chose it,

123
00:07:49,449 --> 00:07:52,449
Over other colors in his supplication,

124
00:07:52,449 --> 00:07:54,449
Where he said:

125
00:07:54,449 --> 00:07:59,449
"O Allah, cleanse me of my sins as a white garment is cleansed of filth."

126
00:07:59,449 --> 00:08:03,449
And his saying, "And shroud your dead in it,"

127
00:08:03,449 --> 00:08:06,449
The Prophet, peace be upon him, encouraged

128
00:08:06,449 --> 00:08:09,449
Shrouding the dead in white,

129
00:08:09,449 --> 00:08:11,449
It is said,

130
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:14,449
As an expression of optimism that the servant is approaching his Lord,

131
00:08:14,449 --> 00:08:17,449
Having cleansed his body and his garment of filth,

132
00:08:17,449 --> 00:08:19,449
And having become white,

133
00:08:19,449 --> 00:08:22,449
And that he is among those whose faces will be whitened,

134
00:08:22,449 --> 00:08:26,449
And among those whose light will run before them.

135
00:08:26,449 --> 00:08:29,449
The command here is for recommendation.

136
00:08:29,449 --> 00:08:33,450
And his saying, "For it is among the best of your garments,"

137
00:08:33,450 --> 00:08:36,450
Because it generally indicates humility,

138
00:08:36,450 --> 00:08:39,450
And the absence of pride, vanity, and arrogance.

139
00:08:39,450 --> 00:08:44,629
On the authority of 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

140
00:08:44,629 --> 00:08:49,629
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, went out one morning,

141
00:08:49,629 --> 00:08:52,629
Wearing a black hair-cloth mantle.

142
00:08:52,629 --> 00:08:55,820
In this hadith,

143
00:08:55,820 --> 00:08:58,820
It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him,

144
00:08:58,820 --> 00:09:00,820
Went out one morning,

145
00:09:00,820 --> 00:09:02,820
Meaning early in the morning,

146
00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:05,820
Wearing a black hair-cloth mantle.

147
00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:09,820
A "mirt" is a long, wide garment,

148
00:09:09,820 --> 00:09:11,820
Used as a lower wrap,

149
00:09:11,820 --> 00:09:13,820
Sometimes made of wool,

150
00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:15,820
And sometimes of hair,

151
00:09:15,820 --> 00:09:17,820
As in this hadith,

152
00:09:17,820 --> 00:09:20,070
And the like.

153
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:22,070
In the narration of Muslim,

154
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:24,070
"Wearing a patterned mantle,"

155
00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:27,070
Meaning it had images of camel saddles on it.

156
00:09:27,070 --> 00:09:30,070
Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

157
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:32,070
There is no harm in these images,

158
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:35,070
For what is forbidden is the depiction of animate beings.

159
00:09:35,070 --> 00:09:38,070
In this hadith also,

160
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:42,070
Is a clarification of the state of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

161
00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:44,070
Regarding his asceticism in this world,

162
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:47,070
And his turning away from its luxuries and pleasures,

163
00:09:47,070 --> 00:09:49,070
And its extravagant clothing.

164
00:09:49,070 --> 00:09:54,289
On the authority of al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, may Allah be pleased with him,

165
00:09:54,289 --> 00:09:57,289
That the Prophet, peace be upon him,

166
00:09:57,289 --> 00:09:59,289
Wore a Roman jubbah (outer garment),

167
00:09:59,289 --> 00:10:02,289
With tight sleeves.

168
00:10:02,289 --> 00:10:05,470
In this hadith,

169
00:10:05,470 --> 00:10:08,470
It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him,

170
00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:10,470
Wore a Roman jubbah.

171
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:13,470
The jubbah is a type of clothing,

172
00:10:13,470 --> 00:10:15,470
Worn over the shirt.

173
00:10:15,470 --> 00:10:17,470
"Roman,"

174
00:10:17,470 --> 00:10:19,470
Meaning attributed to the Romans.

175
00:10:19,470 --> 00:10:21,470
It is derived from this that it is permissible to benefit

176
00:10:21,470 --> 00:10:23,470
From the clothing of the disbelievers,

177
00:10:23,470 --> 00:10:26,470
Unless it is confirmed to be impure,

178
00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:28,470
Because he, peace be upon him,

179
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:30,470
Wore the Roman jubbah,

180
00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:32,470
And did not inquire further.

181
00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:35,600
And his saying, "With tight sleeves,"

182
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,600
The sleeves,

183
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,600
Are the places for inserting the hands in the garment,

184
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,600
And they were tight.

185
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,600
This was during a journey,

186
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,600
In the Battle of Tabuk,

187
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,600
As indicated by some narrations.

188
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,750
Among the benefits of the chapter:

189
00:10:52,750 --> 00:10:57,750
We notice the variety in the clothing of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

190
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:59,750
For he wore the izar and the rida',

191
00:10:59,750 --> 00:11:01,750
And he wore the mantle,

192
00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:03,750
And he wore the shirt,

193
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:06,750
And other types of clothing.

194
00:11:06,750 --> 00:11:09,750
This shows that the matter of clothing is broad,

195
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:12,750
And that the basic principle is permissibility,

196
00:11:12,750 --> 00:11:15,750
As long as there is no evidence indicating its prohibition.

197
00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:17,820
Allah the Almighty said:

198
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:24,820
“Say: Who hath forbidden the adornment of Allah which He hath brought forth for His bondmen, and the good things of His providing? Say: Such, on the Day of Resurrection, will be only for those who believed during the life of the world. Thus do we detail Our revelations for people who have knowledge.” (7:32)

199
00:11:24,820 --> 00:11:29,230
And the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him,

200
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:32,230
When one of them wore a new garment,

201
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:33,230
It was said to him:

202
00:11:33,230 --> 00:11:37,230
"May you wear it out, and may Allah the Exalted replace it."

203
00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:44,259
This means: may you continue to enjoy life, health, and well-being in this garment until it wears out.

204
00:11:44,259 --> 00:11:48,259
Then, may Allah the Almighty grant you another in its place.

205
00:11:48,259 --> 00:11:51,259
This includes a supplication for the person,

206
00:11:51,259 --> 00:11:54,259
that they may live a praiseworthy and good life,

207
00:11:54,259 --> 00:11:59,259
because a garment only wears out after a long period of time.

208
00:11:59,259 --> 00:12:04,419
It has been authentically reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

209
00:12:04,419 --> 00:12:08,419
"Eat, drink, wear, and give charity,

210
00:12:08,419 --> 00:12:11,419
without extravagance or arrogance."

211
00:12:11,419 --> 00:12:14,419
Arrogance (al-mukhayala) is vanity.

212
00:12:14,419 --> 00:12:19,679
The Sunnah has also mentioned certain prohibitions regarding clothing,

213
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,679
among them is isbal (letting the garment hang below the ankles).

214
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,679
This is when a man’s garment hangs below his ankles.

215
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:32,679
There has come in this regard a prohibition and a severe warning in many hadiths.

216
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,679
For this reason, a group of scholars have counted it among the major sins.

217
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,679
Among these is that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

218
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,679
"There are three whom Allah will not speak to on the Day of Resurrection,

219
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,679
nor will He look at them, nor will He purify them,

220
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,679
and for them is a painful punishment:

221
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,679
the one who lets his garment hang below his ankles, the one who reminds others of his favors,

222
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,679
and the one who sells his merchandise by means of false oaths."

223
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,970
The Prophet, peace be upon him, also forbade the wearing of silk,

224
00:13:04,970 --> 00:13:07,970
and the wearing of "garments of fame" (libas al-shuhra),

225
00:13:07,970 --> 00:13:13,029
which is when a person wears clothing that makes him stand out conspicuously among the people of his land.

226
00:13:13,029 --> 00:13:17,029
Furthermore, there is a prohibition against men imitating women.

227
00:13:17,029 --> 00:13:20,029
For he, peace be upon him, said:

228
00:13:20,029 --> 00:13:25,029
"Allah has cursed the men who imitate women."

229
00:13:25,029 --> 00:13:29,159
There is also a prohibition against imitating the disbelievers.

230
00:13:29,159 --> 00:13:32,159
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

231
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:37,279
In conclusion,

232
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:41,279
Mu'adh Ibn Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, informed us

233
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:45,279
that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:

234
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:48,279
"Whoever eats food and then says:

235
00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:52,279
'Praise be to Allah who has fed me this and provided it for me,

236
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:56,279
without any power or strength on my part,'

237
00:13:56,279 --> 00:13:59,279
his past sins will be forgiven.

238
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:02,340
And whoever wears a garment and says:

239
00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:05,340
'Praise be to Allah who has clothed me with this,

240
00:14:05,340 --> 00:14:09,340
without any power or strength on my part,'

241
00:14:09,340 --> 00:14:13,340
his past sins will be forgiven."

242
00:14:13,340 --> 00:14:17,460
The hadith has more to follow, if Allah wills.

243
00:14:17,460 --> 00:14:19,460
And Allah knows best.

244
00:14:19,460 --> 00:14:22,460
May Allah send peace and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad,

245
00:14:22,460 --> 00:14:26,460
and upon all his family and companions.
