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 --> 00:00:11.740 And the ink of love, 00:00:11.740 --> 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 --> 00:00:22.670 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:00:22.670 --> 00:00:30.500 The Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il). 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. 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: 00:00:41.979 --> 00:00:46.070 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:48.070 Whenever he acquired a new garment, 00:00:48.070 --> 00:00:50.070 He would name it by its name, 00:00:50.070 --> 00:00:54.070 Whether it was a turban, a shirt, or a mantle, 00:00:54.070 --> 00:00:56.070 Then he would say: 00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:59.070 "O Allah, to You be praise, as You have clothed me with it. 00:00:59.070 --> 00:01:03.070 I ask You for its good and the good of that for which it was made, 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." 00:01:08.829 --> 00:01:11.829 In this hadith is a blessed supplication, 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, 00:01:18.829 --> 00:01:22.829 Whether it is a shirt, a turban, or something similar. 00:01:22.829 --> 00:01:28.959 His saying, "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, whenever he acquired a new garment," 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.959 Means whenever he wore a new piece of clothing. 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:33.959 "He would name it by its name," 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:35.959 Meaning the conventional name, 00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:39.959 Such as if it were a turban, a shirt, or a mantle. 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:40.959 It is as if he were to say, 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.959 "Allah has provided me with this turban," 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.959 "Or has clothed me with this shirt." 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:48.959 And his saying, "Then he would say," 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.959 "O Allah, to You be praise, as You have clothed me with it," 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.959 Meaning it is prescribed for him to supplicate by saying, 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," 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:04.959 Naming it by its name, 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:09.960 While being mindful of Allah’s favor upon him through it, 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.960 As it covers his nakedness and he adorns himself with it, 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.960 Just as the Almighty said: 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) 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.090 Many people, when they wear a new garment, 00:02:27.090 --> 00:02:30.090 Their minds are diverted from praising Allah, 00:02:30.090 --> 00:02:34.090 Toward pride in their own ability to acquire the garment, for instance, 00:02:34.090 --> 00:02:41.090 Or their cleverness in selecting it, or the skill of the tailor, or other such notions. 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," 00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:49.379 Means: I ask You, my Lord, for the good of this garment, 00:02:49.379 --> 00:02:51.379 Which is its durability and cleanliness, 00:02:51.379 --> 00:02:55.379 And its being worn out of necessity and need. 00:02:55.379 --> 00:02:57.379 "And the good of that for which it was made," 00:02:57.379 --> 00:03:01.379 Meaning the necessities for which clothing is made, 00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:04.379 Such as protection from heat, cold, and the covering of the nakedness. 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," 00:03:09.659 --> 00:03:13.659 Meaning: I seek refuge in You, my Lord, from the evil of this garment, 00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:16.659 Such as it being unlawful or impure, 00:03:16.659 --> 00:03:19.659 Or that it does not last for a long time. 00:03:19.659 --> 00:03:21.659 "And the evil of that for which it was made," 00:03:21.659 --> 00:03:25.659 Meaning that it becomes a cause for sins and evils, 00:03:25.659 --> 00:03:28.659 Such as arrogance, vanity, and pride, 00:03:29.659 --> 00:03:32.659 Or that the clothing contains forbidden images, 00:03:32.659 --> 00:03:36.659 Or that the garment is tight, revealing the shape of the nakedness, 00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:39.659 Or that it hangs below the ankles. 00:03:39.659 --> 00:03:44.909 On the authority of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 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. 00:03:51.909 --> 00:03:55.539 In this hadith, 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, 00:04:00.539 --> 00:04:05.539 Meaning the decorated one; "tahbir" is beautification and adornment. 00:04:05.539 --> 00:04:08.539 The Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:04:08.539 --> 00:04:13.539 Used to love wearing garments of cotton or linen, 00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:16.540 That had some form of adornment, 00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:19.540 Such as having, for example, black and white, 00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:21.540 Or black and red, 00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:24.540 Or that the garments were striped. 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, 00:04:30.670 --> 00:04:35.670 Is that the most beloved garment to the Prophet, peace be upon him, was the shirt, 00:04:35.670 --> 00:04:38.670 In terms of its make and type, 00:04:38.670 --> 00:04:42.670 While the Hibarah was most beloved to him in terms of its color. 00:04:42.670 --> 00:04:46.980 On the authority of 'Awn ibn Abi Juhayfah, 00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:49.980 From his father, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:04:49.980 --> 00:04:54.980 I saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, wearing a red hullah (two-piece garment), 00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:58.980 As if I am looking at the brightness of his shins. 00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:02.980 Sufyan said: I think it was a Hibarah. 00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:10.649 In this hadith, the noble Companion Abu Juhayfah, may Allah be pleased with him, informs us, 00:05:10.649 --> 00:05:15.649 That he saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, wearing a red hullah. 00:05:15.649 --> 00:05:18.680 A hullah, as we have previously discussed, 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.680 Consists only of two pieces: an izar (lower garment) and a rida' (upper garment). 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.899 Sufyan al-Thawri, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:28.899 "I think it was a Hibarah," 00:05:28.899 --> 00:05:31.899 Meaning it was striped and decorated. 00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:33.899 This is the correct view, 00:05:33.899 --> 00:05:38.899 Because the Prophet, peace be upon him, did not wear pure red, 00:05:38.899 --> 00:05:42.899 And he forbade that strictly. 00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:47.899 And his saying, "As if I am looking at the brightness of his shins," 00:05:47.899 --> 00:05:50.899 "Brightness" refers to the radiance and luster, 00:05:50.899 --> 00:05:55.899 And this is a description of his noble body, peace be upon him. 00:05:55.899 --> 00:06:00.899 In this is an indication that his izar, peace be upon him, 00:06:00.899 --> 00:06:03.899 Reached to the middle of his shins. 00:06:03.899 --> 00:06:09.699 On the authority of al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:06:09.699 --> 00:06:14.699 I have never seen anyone look better in a red hullah 00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:18.699 Than the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him; 00:06:18.699 --> 00:06:23.699 His hair would reach near his shoulders. 00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:28.939 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:32.939 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:06:32.939 --> 00:06:35.939 "You should wear white clothing, 00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:38.939 For your living to wear, 00:06:38.939 --> 00:06:41.939 And shroud your dead in it, 00:06:41.939 --> 00:06:44.939 For it is among the best of your garments." 00:06:44.939 --> 00:06:49.100 On the authority of Samurah ibn Jundub, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:53.100 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: 00:06:53.100 --> 00:06:55.100 "Wear white, 00:06:55.100 --> 00:06:58.100 For it is cleaner and better, 00:06:58.100 --> 00:07:01.100 And shroud your dead in it." 00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:05.290 In these two hadiths, 00:07:05.290 --> 00:07:08.290 Is the encouragement of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:07:08.290 --> 00:07:11.290 And his urging to wear white. 00:07:11.290 --> 00:07:15.290 White clothing is better than other colors, 00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:19.420 Whether it is pure white or striped. 00:07:19.420 --> 00:07:23.420 Among the reasons for preferring the white color for clothing, 00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:26.420 As he, peace be upon him, said, 00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:29.420 "For it is cleaner and better," 00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:33.420 Is that it is distinguished when washed by its pleasantness and purity, 00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:36.420 And the appearance of its clarity. 00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:40.420 If any dirt is found on it, it appears immediately, 00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:42.420 Unlike other garments, 00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:46.449 Which may become dirty without the dirt being visible. 00:07:46.449 --> 00:07:49.449 This is why he, peace be upon him, chose it, 00:07:49.449 --> 00:07:52.449 Over other colors in his supplication, 00:07:52.449 --> 00:07:54.449 Where he said: 00:07:54.449 --> 00:07:59.449 "O Allah, cleanse me of my sins as a white garment is cleansed of filth." 00:07:59.449 --> 00:08:03.449 And his saying, "And shroud your dead in it," 00:08:03.449 --> 00:08:06.449 The Prophet, peace be upon him, encouraged 00:08:06.449 --> 00:08:09.449 Shrouding the dead in white, 00:08:09.449 --> 00:08:11.449 It is said, 00:08:11.449 --> 00:08:14.449 As an expression of optimism that the servant is approaching his Lord, 00:08:14.449 --> 00:08:17.449 Having cleansed his body and his garment of filth, 00:08:17.449 --> 00:08:19.449 And having become white, 00:08:19.449 --> 00:08:22.449 And that he is among those whose faces will be whitened, 00:08:22.449 --> 00:08:26.449 And among those whose light will run before them. 00:08:26.449 --> 00:08:29.449 The command here is for recommendation. 00:08:29.449 --> 00:08:33.450 And his saying, "For it is among the best of your garments," 00:08:33.450 --> 00:08:36.450 Because it generally indicates humility, 00:08:36.450 --> 00:08:39.450 And the absence of pride, vanity, and arrogance. 00:08:39.450 --> 00:08:44.629 On the authority of 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 00:08:44.629 --> 00:08:49.629 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, went out one morning, 00:08:49.629 --> 00:08:52.629 Wearing a black hair-cloth mantle. 00:08:52.629 --> 00:08:55.820 In this hadith, 00:08:55.820 --> 00:08:58.820 It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:00.820 Went out one morning, 00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:02.820 Meaning early in the morning, 00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:05.820 Wearing a black hair-cloth mantle. 00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:09.820 A "mirt" is a long, wide garment, 00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:11.820 Used as a lower wrap, 00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:13.820 Sometimes made of wool, 00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:15.820 And sometimes of hair, 00:09:15.820 --> 00:09:17.820 As in this hadith, 00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:20.070 And the like. 00:09:20.070 --> 00:09:22.070 In the narration of Muslim, 00:09:22.070 --> 00:09:24.070 "Wearing a patterned mantle," 00:09:24.070 --> 00:09:27.070 Meaning it had images of camel saddles on it. 00:09:27.070 --> 00:09:30.070 Al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 00:09:30.070 --> 00:09:32.070 There is no harm in these images, 00:09:32.070 --> 00:09:35.070 For what is forbidden is the depiction of animate beings. 00:09:35.070 --> 00:09:38.070 In this hadith also, 00:09:38.070 --> 00:09:42.070 Is a clarification of the state of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:44.070 Regarding his asceticism in this world, 00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:47.070 And his turning away from its luxuries and pleasures, 00:09:47.070 --> 00:09:49.070 And its extravagant clothing. 00:09:49.070 --> 00:09:54.289 On the authority of al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:09:54.289 --> 00:09:57.289 That the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:09:57.289 --> 00:09:59.289 Wore a Roman jubbah (outer garment), 00:09:59.289 --> 00:10:02.289 With tight sleeves. 00:10:02.289 --> 00:10:05.470 In this hadith, 00:10:05.470 --> 00:10:08.470 It is mentioned that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:10:08.470 --> 00:10:10.470 Wore a Roman jubbah. 00:10:10.470 --> 00:10:13.470 The jubbah is a type of clothing, 00:10:13.470 --> 00:10:15.470 Worn over the shirt. 00:10:15.470 --> 00:10:17.470 "Roman," 00:10:17.470 --> 00:10:19.470 Meaning attributed to the Romans. 00:10:19.470 --> 00:10:21.470 It is derived from this that it is permissible to benefit 00:10:21.470 --> 00:10:23.470 From the clothing of the disbelievers, 00:10:23.470 --> 00:10:26.470 Unless it is confirmed to be impure, 00:10:26.470 --> 00:10:28.470 Because he, peace be upon him, 00:10:28.470 --> 00:10:30.470 Wore the Roman jubbah, 00:10:30.470 --> 00:10:32.470 And did not inquire further. 00:10:32.470 --> 00:10:35.600 And his saying, "With tight sleeves," 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.600 The sleeves, 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.600 Are the places for inserting the hands in the garment, 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.600 And they were tight. 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.600 This was during a journey, 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.600 In the Battle of Tabuk, 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.600 As indicated by some narrations. 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.750 Among the benefits of the chapter: 00:10:52.750 --> 00:10:57.750 We notice the variety in the clothing of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:10:57.750 --> 00:10:59.750 For he wore the izar and the rida', 00:10:59.750 --> 00:11:01.750 And he wore the mantle, 00:11:01.750 --> 00:11:03.750 And he wore the shirt, 00:11:03.750 --> 00:11:06.750 And other types of clothing. 00:11:06.750 --> 00:11:09.750 This shows that the matter of clothing is broad, 00:11:09.750 --> 00:11:12.750 And that the basic principle is permissibility, 00:11:12.750 --> 00:11:15.750 As long as there is no evidence indicating its prohibition. 00:11:15.750 --> 00:11:17.820 Allah the Almighty said: 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
