Hadith 5219

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . ح حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَتْنِي فَاطِمَةُ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً ، قَالَتْ : " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ لِي ضَرَّةً ، فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ جُنَاحٌ إِنْ تَشَبَّعْتُ مِنْ زَوْجِي غَيْرَ الَّذِي يُعْطِينِي ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الْمُتَشَبِّعُ بِمَا لَمْ يُعْطَ كَلَابِسِ ثَوْبَيْ زُورٍ " .
Narrated Asma: Some lady said, "O Allah's Apostle! My husband has another wife, so it is sinful of me to claim that he has given me what he has not given me (in order to tease her)?" Allah's Apostle said, The one who pretends that he has been given what he has not been given, is just like the (false) one who wears two garments of falsehood."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Dawood Raz
Hadith Commentary:

And to display among people that these clothes are mine—such a boastful person ultimately always becomes humiliated and disgraced. It is as if the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not permit even a false statement before a co-wife; this is the pinnacle of piety.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The meaning of "mutashabbi‘" is:
To display satiety, even though one is not actually satiated.
It is likened to clothing because both satiety and clothing conceal a person—one conceals inwardly, the other outwardly.

(2)
Some scholars have interpreted the meaning of "two false garments" as follows: a liar puts on the cloak and lower garment of an honorable man in order to give false testimony, so that the liar appears to be respectable.
Similarly, some women apply a different colored powder under their shirt so that it appears as if they are wearing two shirts.

(3)
It is a blameworthy act on the part of a woman if she, in order to provoke jealousy in her co-wife, claims that her husband has given her certain things, even though he has not given her anything.
Such a woman is like that false person who, for the sake of showing off, wears the garments of ascetics, even though he is not an ascetic.

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: (1)
When a person's soul departs from his body, his eyes follow it, which is why they remain open upwards. Therefore, the eyes of the deceased should be closed.

(2)
Angels are present near the sick and the dying, so at the time of death, one should not utter such words that become a curse against oneself, because the angels say "Ameen" to them.

(3)
People of knowledge and virtue should go to the homes of their friends and loved ones on such occasions so that they can provide proper guidance in these circumstances, prevent them from wrongful actions, and supplicate for forgiveness for the deceased. They should also pray for goodness for the survivors, teach them the method and etiquette of supplication through their actions, and thus eliminate the need for the customary mourning gatherings prevalent in the country, which are not established from the Shariah.

Benefits and Issues:
It does not befit any believer to deceive a Muslim or to covet something that belongs to another.
Similarly, it is not permissible for co-wives to create such a situation among themselves that causes the other to become distressed.
Nor is it permissible for anyone to present themselves as an ascetic (zahid) merely for show, while the reality is otherwise.

Benefit:
In this hadith, one type of falsehood is mentioned: that a person outwardly displays something which, in reality, he does not possess. This is a lie and a major sin (kabirah). This is a general category of lying. May Allah, the Exalted, grant us the ability to avoid it. Ameen.
