Volume 3

English

Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was wearing two thick Qitri garments. When he sat and sweated, they became heavy on him. Some fabric arrived from Syria for a certain Jew. I said: "Why don’t you send for him and buy two garments from him on credit until it becomes easier?" He sent for him, but the Jew said: "I know what he wants; he only wants to take my money." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "He lied, for he knows I am among the most righteous toward Allah and the most trustworthy with trusts."

With sleeves level with the tips of his fingers

(2) The statement: "With sleeves level with the tips of his fingers": It is said in Radd al-Muhtar: Know that clothing includes what is obligatory, which covers the private parts and protects from heat and cold. The preferable type is cotton, linen, or wool, in accordance with the Sunnah, with the hem reaching mid-calf and the sleeve to the fingertips, and the opening about a handspan wide. In Marqat as-Su‘ud: The Hadith about the wrist is specific to the shirt he wore during travel. In residence, he wore a cotton shirt with sleeves to the fingers, as narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Shu‘ab al-Iman. It is also narrated from Ali that he extended the sleeve of the shirt until it reached the fingers, then cut off the excess.

Note 3

The caps of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) were flat

(3) The statement: "The caps of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) were flat": "Caps" (kimam) is the plural of "kimmah," like "qibab" for "qibbah," meaning a rounded cap, so named because it covers the head. "Flat" (butha) means they were spread out and close to their heads, not raised. At-Tayyibi said: This indicates that an upright cap is far from the Sunnah. Ibn ‘Asakir narrated with a weak chain from Ibn Abbas that he (ﷺ) wore caps with earflaps during war. "Flat" in this context means they were wide and spacious, as the term is used for expansive land (butha’). The intent is that they were not narrow, conical, or Indian-style but were about a handspan wide. As cited from Al-Marqat. It is said in Al-‘Alamgiriyyah: There is no harm in wearing caps, and it is established that he (ﷺ) wore them. As stated in Al-Wajiz by Al-Kurdari.

Note 1

Wore a Roman cloak

(1) The statement: "Wore a Roman cloak": The cloak (jubbah) is a garment with cotton between two layers, unless it is made of wool, in which case it may be a single layer without stuffing. Among the benefits of this Hadith is the permissibility of wearing wool. Malik disliked wearing it for those who could afford other materials, due to its association with ostentatious asceticism, as concealing one’s deeds is preferable. Ibn Battal said: Humility is not limited to wearing wool but includes cotton and other less expensive materials. I say: Al-Bayhaqi narrated from Abu Hurairah and Zaid ibn Thabit that he (ﷺ) forbade two types of ostentation: extremely thin or thick clothing, soft or coarse, long or short, but rather moderation and balance. This is the preferred view among the Naqshbandi scholars. Most Sufi groups preferred wearing wool because they did not wear it for personal desires, its softness, or appearance, but for covering the private parts and protection from heat and cold, so they sufficed with coarse hair or thick wool. Abu Hurairah and Fudalah ibn ‘Ubaid described the People of the Suffah as wearing wool, such that some would sweat and smell of sheep when wet by rain. As-Suyuti narrated in Ad-Durr from Ibn Abbas that Adam and Eve were the first to wear wool when they were sent down from Paradise to Earth. As cited from Al-Marqat. It is said in Radd al-Muhtar: The preferable clothing is cotton, linen, or wool.

Note 2

With narrow sleeves

(2) The statement: "With narrow sleeves": It is said in At-Ta‘liq al-Mumajjad: This indicates wearing tight clothing, and it is recommended in battle due to readiness and following the Prophet (ﷺ) in his attire during travel. There is no harm in it during residence. As stated in Tansiq an-Nizam.

قوله

(١) قوله: لبس جبة رومية: الجبة بضم الجيم وتشديد الموحدة ثوبان بينهما قطن، إلا أن يكونا من صوف، فقد تكونواحدة غير محشوة، ومن فوائد الحديث جواز لبس الصوف. وكره مالك لبسه لمن يجد غيره؛ لها فيه من الشهرةبالزهد؛ لأن إخفاء العمل أولى. قال ابن بطال: ولم ينحصر التواضع في لبسه، بل في القطن وغيره مما هو بدون ثمنه .قلت: وقد روى البيهقي عن أبي هريرة وزيد بن ثابت: أنه صلي الله عليه واله وسلم نهى عن الشهرتين: رقة الثياب وغلظها، ولينهاوخشونتها، وطولها وقصرها، ولكن سداد فيما بين ذلك واقتصاد، وهذا هو المختار عند السادة النقشبندية، وأما أكثرطوائف الصوفية، فاختاروا لبس الصوف؛ لأنهم لم يلبسوا لحظوظ النفس مالأن مسه وحسن منظره، وإنما لبسوالستر العورة ودفع الحَرّ والقر، فاجتزوا بالخشن من الشعر والغليظ من الصوف. وقد وصف أبو هريرة وفضالة بنعبيد أصحاب الصفة بأنهم كان لباسهم الصوف حتى إن كان بعضهم ليعرق يه فيوجد منه ريح الضأن، إذا أصابهالمطر. وقد نقل السيوطي في (الدر) عن ابن عباس إن أول من لبس الصوف آدم وحواء، لما أهبطا من الجنة إلىالأرض. التقطته من (المرقاة). وقال في (رد المحتار): والأولى كون الكسوة من القطن أو الكتان أو الصوف.

A bed for his wife

(3) The statement: "A bed for his wife": An-Nawawi said: There is no harm in having separate beds for the husband and wife, as each may need one during illness or similar circumstances. Some used this to argue that a man is not obliged to sleep with his wife and may have a separate bed. This inference is weak because the Hadith refers to times of need, such as illness, as mentioned. Sleeping with the wife, while not obligatory, is preferable based on other evidence, as is clear from the Prophet’s (ﷺ) consistent practice, even with his night prayers. He would sleep with her, and when he intended to pray, he would rise and leave her, thus fulfilling both his worship and her recommended right to companionship, especially if she desired it. Sleeping with her does not necessitate intimacy.

I say: It is more likely recommended due to his (ﷺ) consistent practice, as it enhances rest, which is intended for sleep to gain energy for worship. As stated in Al-Marqat.

Whoever drags his garment out of pride, etc.

(3) The statement: "Whoever drags his garment out of pride, etc.": It is said in Al-‘Alamgiriyyah: Dragging the lower garment or shirt is an innovation. The lower garment should be above the ankles to mid-calf for men. For women, they let their garments hang lower than men’s to cover the tops of their feet. Dragging a man’s garment below the ankles, if not out of pride, is disliked in a minor sense. As stated in Al-Ghara’ib. It is said in Bazl al-Majhud: Scholars said the recommended length for the lower garment or cloak is to mid-calf, permissible without dislike up to the ankles, and anything below is prohibited. If done out of pride, it is strictly forbidden; otherwise, it is disliked in a minor sense. It is said in Radd al-Muhtar: It is disliked for men to wear trousers that fall over the tops of the feet (Atabiyyah).

Hadith 4209

Volume 3

English

Abdul-Wahid ibn Ayman narrated from his father: I visited Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and she was wearing a Qitri dress worth five dirhams. She said: "Look up at my servant girl, see her, for she takes pride in wearing it in the house. I had one like it during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and no woman in Madinah preparing for marriage would fail to send to me to borrow it."
