اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، نا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: ((نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ لِبْسَيْنِ، وَعَنْ بَيْعَتَيْنِ، عَنِ اشْتِمَالِ الصَّمَّاءِ، وَالَاحْتِبَاءِ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَعَنِ اللَّمْسِ وَالنَّبْذِ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade two types of clothing and two types of sales: wrapping a sheet around the body in such a way that it becomes difficult to move the hands and arms, and sitting in a single garment in such a manner that there is a risk of the private parts becoming exposed; and he forbade the sales of Mulamasa and Munabadhah.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Abdush Shakoor Tirmidhi
Benefits:
➊ In the aforementioned hadith, two types of clothing and two kinds of trade are prohibited.
Prohibited clothing: To perform prayer (salah) by merely placing a lower garment (tehband) over one’s shoulders is religiously prohibited. Dr. Hamidullah rahimahullah states regarding this: Placing a cloak (libadah) over the shoulders causes it to fall during bowing (ruku) and prostration (sujud), and the worshipper has to adjust it repeatedly, which distracts one’s attention from the prayer. However, if it is placed over the shoulders in such a way that it does not fall while moving, then there is no harm in it. (Translated Sahifah Hammam bin Munabbih: 162)
➋ ... Such clothing in which a person is naked is religiously prohibited. And in the hadith, the word “al-ihtiba’” is used, which means that a person sits on his buttocks, keeps his shins upright, and in such a state wraps only one cloth around himself. The Arabs used to sit in their gatherings in this manner. Since there is a risk that the private parts (‘awrah) may become exposed while sitting like this, therefore, sitting in this manner and wearing a single garment from which there is a risk of the private parts being exposed has been prohibited. (Sahifah Hammam bin Munabbih, Hadith no. 137, p. 481, published by Ansar al-Sunnah)
And the explanation of “mulamasah” and “munabadhah”—these two types of sales—has been stated in Sahih al-Bukhari as follows:
Munabadhah: Its method was that a person, in order to sell, would throw his garment towards another person (who was the buyer), and before he could turn it over or look at it, (merely by throwing it) the sale would be considered binding.
Sale by mulamasah: To touch the cloth without looking at it (and by this mere touch, the sale would become binding). (Bukhari, Kitab al-Buyu‘, no. 2144)
Imam Shawkani rahimahullah states: The reason for prohibiting the sale by mulamasah and munabadhah is deception, ignorance, and the nullification of the option of the gathering (khiyar al-majlis). (Nayl al-Awtar: 3/521)
