RIYADH AS-SALIHIN 157 793. Asma' bint Yazid relates that the sleeves of the shirt of the Holy. Prophet reached down to his wrists (Abu Daud and Tirmidhi). 794. Ibn Umar relates that the Holy Prophet said: He who lets down his loin cloth out of pride will find that Allah will not look at him on the Day of. Judgment. On this Abu Bakr submitted: Messenger of Allah, my loin cloth is apt to slide down unless I take care of it. The Holy Prophet said: You are not of those who let it down out of pride (Bokhari). 795. This hadith is the same as No. 619. 796. Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: The portion of a loin cloth worn below the ankles is condemned to the Fire (Bokhari). 797. Abu Dharr relates that the Holy Prophet said: There are three to whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Judgment, nor will He look at them or purify them. He repeated this three times. Abu Dharr said: They are lost and ruined! Who are they, Messenger of Allah? He said: One who lets down his garments out of pride, one who boasts of favours done to another and one who promotes the sale of his wares with false oaths (Muslim). One version has it: One who lets down his loin cloth. 798. Ibn Umar relates that the Holy Prophet said: On the Day of. Judgment Allah will not look upon one who lets down his loin cloth, shirt or turban out of pride (Abu Daud and Nisai). 799. Jabir ibn Sulaim relates: I saw a man whose direction was obeyed by everyone; no one did other than that which he said. I asked: Who is he? I was told: He is the Messenger of Allah. I said twice: On you be peace,. Messenger of Allah. He said: Do not say: On you be peace. This is the greeting of the dead. Say, instead: Peace be on you. I asked: Are you the Messenger of. Allah? He answered: I am the Messenger of Allah, Who, when you are afflicted and call on Him, will remove your afflictions; Who, when you are afflicted with famine and call on Him, will cause food to grow for you; and. Who, if you lose your mount in a barren and desert land and call on Him, will restore it to you. I said to him: Instruct me. He said: Do not revile any one. (Since then I have never abused anyone, neither a freeman, nor a slave, nor a camel, nor a goat). He continued: Do not disdain the doing of the least good; and talk to your brother with a cheerful face. That is part of goodness. Hold up your loincloth half way up to the knee, and at least above the ankles; for letting it down is prideful and contemptuous, and Allah dislikes pride. If someone charges you with defaults from which he thinks you suffer, do not charge him with defaults from which you think he suffers, for the penalty for his default will overtake him (Abu Daud and Tirmidhi). 800. Abu Hurairah relates: To a person who had been engaged in. Prayer while his loin cloth had been hanging down, the Holy Prophet said: Go and perform your ablutions again. The man went and came back after having performed them. The Holy Prophet said: Go and make your ablutions. . Someone present said to the Holy Prophet: Messenger of Allah, you ask him to perform his ablutions and then you keep silent. He said: He says his Prayer
