705 - وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما أنه دفع مع النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم يوم عرفة فسمع النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم وراءه زجرا شديدا وضربا وصوتا للإبل فأشار بسوطه إليهم وقال : [ أيها الناس عليكم بالسكينة فإن البر ليس بالإيضاع ] رواه البخاري . وروى مسلم بعضه
[ البر ] : الطاعة
و [ الإيضاع ] بضاد معجمة قبلها ياء وهمزة مكسورة وهو : الإسراع
705. Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I accompanied the Prophet (PBUH) while we were returning from `Arafat. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) heard behind him a loud noise of beating and of driving the camels forcibly. He pointed towards it with his whip and said, "O people! Proceed calmly. No virtue lies in rushing.)
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: People return from `Arafat jostling against one another as if they are being thrust forward from behind. Such an act is incompatible with decorum. Messenger of Allah (PBUH) advised them to observe tranquillity and orderliness and to avoid a disorderly haste. There is indeed dire need to act upon this advice of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) at Hajj sites during the performance of the sacred rites. May Allah guide Muslims!
94 - باب إكرام الضيف
Chapter 94
Honoring the Guest
قال الله تعالى ( الذاريات 24 - 27 ) : { هل أتاك حديث ضيف إبراهيم المكرمين إذ دخلوا عليه فقالوا سلاما قال سلام قوم منكرون . فراغ إلى أهله فجاء بعجل سمين فقربه إليهم قال : ألا تأكلون ؟ }
وقال تعالى ( هود 78 ) : { وجاءه قومه يهرعون إليه ومن قبل كانوا يعملون السيئات قال : يا قوم هؤلاء بناتي هن أطهر لكم فاتقوا الله ولا تخزون في ضيفي أليس منكم رجل رشيد ؟ }
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"Has the story reached you, of the honoured guests [three angels; Jibril (Gabriel) along with another two] of Ibrahim (Abraham)? When they came in to him and said: `Salam (peace be upon you),' He answered: `Salam (peace be upon you),' and said: `You are a people unknown to me.' Then he turned to his household, and brought out a roasted calf [as the property of Ibrahim (Abraham) was mainly cows]. And placed it before them, (saying): `Will you not eat?)' (51: 24-27)
"And his (Lut's) people came rushing towards him, and since aforetime they used to commit crimes (sodomy), he said: `O my people! Here are my daughters (i.e., the women of the nation), they are purer for you (if you marry them lawfully). So fear Allah and degrace me not with regard to my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man? )' (11:78)
706 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليكرم ضيفه ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليصل رحمه ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خيرا أو ليصمت ] متفق عليه
706. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He who believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him show hospitality to his guest; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him maintain good relation with kins; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent.)
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: To honour a guest means to welcome him cheerfully, entertain him happily according to our capacity and have full regard of his comfort and rest. As for our relatives, we are supposed to treat them nicely and to do our duty towards them.
Reserve in speech implies that we should avoid senseless and irrelevant talk. We are apt to pass most of our time in the remembrance of Allah, seeking His forgiveness and saying what is good to everybody. Or we had better keep silent. These three qualities are possessed by those people who believe in Allah and the Day of Reckoning.
In other words, those who lack these qualities betray only a weak and imperfect Faith.
707 - وعن أبي شريح خويلد بن عمرو رضي الله عنه قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول : [ من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليكرم ضيفه جائزته ] قالوا : وما جائزته يا رسول الله ؟ قال : [ يومه وليلته . والضيافة ثلاثة أيام فما كان وراء ذلك فهو صدقة عليه ] متفق عليه
وفي رواية لمسلم : [ ولا يحل لمسلم أن يقيم عند أخيه حتى يؤثمه ] قالوا : يا رسول الله وكيف يؤثمه ؟ قال : [ يقيم عند أخيه ولا شيء يقريه به ]
707. Abu Shuraih Khuwailid bin `Amr Al-Khuza`i (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "He who believes in Allah and the Last Day, should accommodate his guest according to his right.) He was asked: "What is his right, O Messenger of Allah?) He (PBUH) replied: "It is (to accommodate him) for a day and a night, and hospitality extends for three days, and what is beyond that is charity.)
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
In Muslim it is added: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "It is not permissible for a Muslim to stay so long with his brother till he makes him sinful.) He was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, how can he make him sinful?) He replied, "He prolongs his stay with him till nothing is left with the host to entertain him (guest).)
Commentary: This Hadith throws light on something more of the etiquette and scope of hospitality. A guest ought to be given the best entertainment on the first day and night. For the next two days, hospitality should be moderate. On the fourth day, the guest should leave for his destination. Yet if he chooses to stay, hospitality will be in the sense of charity.
95 - باب استحباب التبشير والتهنئة بالخير
Chapter 95
Excellence of Conveying Glad Tidings and Congratulations
قال الله تعالى ( الزمر 17 ، 18 ) : { فبشر عباد الذين يستمعون القول فيتبعون أحسنه }
وقال تعالى ( التوبة 21 ) : { يبشرهم ربهم برحمة منه ورضوان وجنات لهم فيها نعيم مقيم }

وقال تعالى ( هود 71 ) : { وامرأته قائمة فضحكت فبشرناها بإسحاق ومن وراء إسحاق يعقوب }
وقال تعالى ( آل عمران 39 ) : { فنادته الملائكة وهو قائم يصلي في المحراب أن الله يبشرك بيحيى }
وقال تعالى ( آل عمران 45 ) : { إذ قالت الملائكة يا مريم إن الله يبشرك بكلمة منه اسمه المسيح } الآية . والآيات في الباب كثيرة معلومة
وأما الأحاديث فكثيرة جدا وهي مشهورة في الصحيح . منها :
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"So announce the good news to My slaves. Those who listen to the Word [good advice La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and Islamic Monotheism] and follow the best thereof (i.e., worship Allah Alone, repent to Him and avoid Taghut).) (39: 17, 18)
"Their Rubb gives them glad tidings of a Mercy from Him, and that He is pleased (with them), and of Gardens (Jannah) for them wherein are everlasting delights.) (9:21)
"But receive the glad tidings of Jannah which you have been promised! " (41:30)
"So we gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.) (37:101)
"And verily, there came Our messengers to Ibrahim (Abraham) with glad tidings.) (11:69)
"And his wife was standing (there), and she laughed [either, because the messengers did not eat their food or for being glad for the destruction of the people of Lut (Lot)]. But We gave her glad tidings of Ishaq (Isaac), and after Ishaq, of Ya`qub (Jacob).) (11:71)
"Then the angels called him, while he was standing in prayer in Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), (saying): `Allah gives you glad tidings of Yahya (John).)' (3:39)
"(Remember) when the angels said: `O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word [`Be!'- and he was! i.e., `Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam] from Him, his name will be the Messiah `Isa.) (3:45)
708 - عن أبي إبراهيم ويقال أبو محمد ويقال أبو معاوية عبد الله بن أبي أوفى رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم بشر خديجة رضي الله عنها ببيت في الجنة من قصب لا صخب فيه ولا نصب . متفق عليه
[ القصب ] هنا : اللؤلؤ المجوف
و [ الصخب ] : الصياح واللغط
و [ النصب ] : التعب
708. `Abdullah bin Abu Aufa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) gave glad tidings to Khadijah (May Allah be pleased with her) about a palace of hollowed pearls in Jannah, free from noise and toil.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith throws light on the excellence of Khadijah (May Allah be pleased with her) and also mentions the glad tidings given to her by Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about her blessful place in a heavenly abode in the Hereafter.
709 - وعن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه أنه توضأ في بيته ثم خرج فقال : لألزمن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم ولأكونن معه يومي هذا . فجاء المسجد فسأل عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم فقالوا : وجه ههنا . قال : فخرجت على أثره أسأل عنه حتى دخل بئر أريس فجلست عند الباب حتى قضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم حاجته وتوضأ فقمت إليه فإذا هو قد جلس على بئر أريس وتوسط قفها وكشف عن ساقيه ودلاهما في البئر فسلمت عليه ثم انصرفت فجلست عند الباب . فقلت : لأكونن بواب رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم اليوم . فجاء أبو بكر رضي الله عنه فدفع الباب فقلت : من هذا ؟ فقال : أبو بكر . فقلت : على رسلك ثم ذهبت فقلت : يا رسول الله هذا أبو بكر يستأذن . فقال : [ ائذن له وبشره بالجنة ] فأقبلت حتى قلت لأبي بكر : ادخل ورسول الله يبشرك بالجنة . فدخل أبو بكر حتى جلس عن يمين النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم معه في القف ودلى رجليه في البئر كما صنع رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم وكشف عن ساقيه . ثم رجعت فجلست وقد تركت أخي يتوضأ ويلحقني فقلت : إن يرد الله بفلان ( يريد أخاه ) خيرا يأت به . فإذا إنسان يحرك الباب فقلت : من هذا ؟ فقال : عمر بن الخطاب . فقلت : على رسلك ثم جئت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم فسلمت عليه وقلت : هذا عمر يستأذن . فقال : [ ائذن له وبشره بالجنة ] فجئت عمر فقلت : أذن ويبشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم بالجنة فدخل فجلس مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم في القف عن يساره ودلى رجليه في البئر . ثم رجعت فقلت : إن يرد الله بفلان خيرا ( يعني أخاه ) يأت به . فجاء إنسان فحرك الباب فقلت : من هذا ؟ فقال : عثمان بن عفان . فقلت : على رسلك وجئت النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم فأخبرته فقال : [ ائذن له وبشره بالجنة مع بلوى تصيبه ] فجئت فقلت : ادخل ويبشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم بالجنة مع بلوى تصيبك . فدخل فوجد القف قد ملئ فجلس وجاههم من الشق الآخر . قال سعيد بن المسيب : فأولتها قبورهم . متفق عليه
وزاد في رواية : [ وأمرني رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم بحفظ الباب . وفيها أن عثمان حين بشره حمد الله تعالى ثم قال : الله المستعان ]
قوله : [ وجه ] : بفتح الواو وتشديد الجيم أي توجه
وقوله [ بئر أريس ] هو بفتح الهمزة وكسر الراء وبعدها ياء مثناة من تحت ساكنة ثم سين مهملة وهو مصروف ومنهم من منع صرفه
و [ القف ] بضم القاف وتشديد الفاء : هو المبنى حول البئر
قوله [ على رسلك ] بكسر الراء على المشهور وقيل بفتحها : أي ارفق
709. Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: One day, I performed my Wudu' in my house and then set forth with the determination that I would stick to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and spend the whole day with him. I came to the mosque and asked about him. The Companions told that he (PBUH) had gone in a certain direction. Abu Musa added: I followed him inquiring until I came to Bi'r Aris (a well in the suburb of Al-Madinah). (There) I sat down at the door till he (PBUH) had relieved himself and performed Wudu'. Then I went to him and saw him sitting on the platform of the well with his shanks uncovered and his legs dangling in the well. I greeted him and returned to the door of the garden, saying to myself, "I will be the doorkeeper of the Messenger of Allah today.) Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) came and knocked at the door. I said; "Who is that?) He said: "Abu Bakr.) I said, "Wait a moment.) Then I went to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr is at the door seeking permission to enter.) He said, "Admit him and give him the glad tidings of Jannah.) I returned and said to Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him): "You may enter and Messenger of Allah (PBUH) has given you the glad tidings of (entering) Jannah.) Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) came in and sat down on the right side of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and suspended his legs into the well and uncovered his shanks, as the Messenger of Allah had done. I returned to the door and sat down. I had left my brother at home while he was performing Wudu' and intending to join me. I said to myself: "If Allah intends good for him (i.e., to be blessed to come at this time and receive the glad tidings of entering Jannah), He will bring him here.) Someone knocked at the door and I said, "Who is it?) He said, "Umar bin Al-Khattab.) I said, "Wait a moment.) Then I proceeded towards Messenger of Allah (PBUH). I greeted him and said, "Umar is at the door, seeking permission to enter. He said, "Let him in and give him the glad tidings of entering Jannah.) I went back to `Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) and said to him, "Messenger of Allah has given you permission as well as glad tidings of entering Jannah.) He entered and sat down with Messenger of Allah (PBUH) on his left side and dangled his feet into the well. I returned to the door and sat down and said to myself: "If Allah intends good for my brother, He will bring him here.) Someone knocked at the door and I said, "Who is it?) He said, "Uthman bin `Affan.) I said, "Wait a moment.) I went to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and informed him about his arrival. He said, "Let him in and give him glad tidings of entering Jannah together with a tribulation which he will have to face.) I came back to him and said, "You may enter; and Messenger of Allah (PBUH) gives you the glad tidings of entering Jannah together with a tribulation that will afflict you.) He got in and saw that the elevated platform round the well was fully occupied. So he sat on opposite side. Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab (May Allah be pleased with him) a subnarrator has reported: The order in which they sat down indicated the places of their burial.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Another narration adds: Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) ordered me to guard the door. When `Uthman was told (about the misfortune) he praised Allah then said: "Allahu Musta`an (His help is to be sought).)
(The interpretation of Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab is that the graves of Abu Bakr and `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) are by the side of the Prophet (PBUH), in the same position they took when they sat next to the Prophet (PBUH) while the grave of `Uthman is away from their graves, in the public graveyard of Al-Madinah known as Baqi` Al-Gharqad).
Commentary: This Hadith brings four points under our consideration. First, in certain cases, a glad tiding is given about the future life. Second, the Prophet (PBUH) himself gave the good news to the first three Rightly-Guided Khulafa' (caliphs) that they would go to Jannah. Now only an inborn wretch can doubt their Faith. Third, the riot foretold by the Prophet (PBUH) with regard to `Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him) took place in the concluding days of his caliphate. Influenced by the wicked and baseless propaganda of a Jew, `Abdullah bin Saba', a splinter group blockaded `Uthman's house and finally put him to death. The incident reveals the Prophet's truthfulness. Fourth, things are also interpreted while one is awake, and the power of intuition is of course the basis of such a state. Yet, a vision is not necessarily commensurate with the external reality in all cases. However, the first two caliphs, as envisioned by Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him), are eternally resting, along with the Prophet (PBUH), in `Aishah's room, while `Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him) is buried in the Al-Madinan graveyard of Baqi` Al-Gharqad.
710 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : كنا قعودا حول رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم ومعنا أبو بكر وعمر رضي الله عنهما في نفر فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم من بين أظهرنا فأبطأ علينا وخشينا أن يقتطع دوننا وفزعنا فقمنا فكنت أول من فزع فخرجت أبتغي رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم حتى أتيت حائطا للأنصار لبني النجار فدرت به هل أجد له بابا فلم أجد فإذا ربيع يدخل في جوف حائط من بئر خارجة ( والربيع : الجدول الصغير ) فاحتفزت فدخلت على رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم . فقال : [ أبو هريرة ؟ ] فقلت : نعم يا رسول الله . قال : [ ما شأنك ؟ ] قلت : كنت بين ظهرينا فقمت فأبطأت علينا فخشينا أن تقتطع دوننا ففزعنا فكنت أول من فزع فأتيت هذا الحائط فاحتفزت كما يحتفز الثعلب وهؤلاء الناس ورائي . فقال : [ يا أبا هريرة ] و أعطاني نعليه فقال : [ اذهب بنعلي هاتين فمن لقيت من وراء هذا الحائط يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله مستيقنا بها قلبه فبشره بالجنة ] وذكر الحديث بطوله . رواه مسلم
[ الربيع ] : النهر الصغير وهو الجدول - بفتح الجيم - كما فسره في الحديث
وقوله [ احتفزت ] روي بالراء وبالزاي . ومعناه بالزاي : تضاممت وتصاغرت حتى أمكنني الدخول
710. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were sitting in the company of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and Abu Bakr and `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) were also present. All of a sudden the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) got up and left us. When he was late to return to us we began to worry lest he should meet with trouble in our absence. I was the first to be alarmed and set out in search of him until I came to a garden belonging to Banu-Najjar (a section of the Ansar). I went round it looking for an entrance, but failed to find one. However, I saw a stream of water flowing into the garden from a well outside. I drew myself together like a fox and slinked into the place and reached the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). He said, "Is it Abu Hurairah?) I replied in the affirmative. He asked, "What is the matter with you?) I replied, "You were sitting with us and then you left us and delayed for a time. Fearing you had met with some adversities we got alarmed. I was the first to be alarmed. So when I came to this garden, I squeezed myself like a fox and these people are coming behind me.) He (the Prophet (PBUH)) gave me his sandals and said, "O Abu Hurairah! Take these sandals of mine, and whoever you meet outside this garden testifying that La ilaha illallah (There is no true god except Allah), being assured of it in his heart, give him the glad tidings that he will enter Jannah.) (Abu Hurairah then narrated the Hadith in full).
[Muslim].
Commentary: As explained earlier in detail, a believer will definitely go to Jannah, provided he/she sincerely believes in Allah without associating anyone with His Divinity, either he/she is very likely to be admitted to Jannah in the first stage, or otherwise after being chastised depending on his or her sins. His eternal abode will be in Jannah and not in Hell-fire, In sha' Allah.
711 - وعن ابن شماسة قال : حضرنا عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنه وهو في سياقة الموت فبكى طويلا وحول وجهه إلى الجدار . فجعل ابنه يقول : يا أبتاه أما بشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم بكذا ؟ أما بشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم بكذا ؟ فأقبل بوجهه فقال : إن أفضل ما نعد شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله . إني قد كنت على أطباق ثلاث : لقد رأيتني وما أحد أشد بغضا لرسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم مني ولا أحب إلي أن أكون قد استمكنت منه فقتلته فلو مت على تلك الحال لكنت من أهل النار فلما جعل الله الإسلام في قلبي أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم فقلت : ابسط يمينك فلأبايعك فبسط يمينه فقبضت يدي . فقال : [ ما لك يا عمرو ؟ ] قلت : أردت أن أشترط . قال : [ تشترط ماذا ؟ ] قلت : أن يغفر لي . قال : [ أما علمت أن الإسلام يهدم ما كان قبله وأن الهجرة تهدم ما كان قبلها وأن الحج يهدم ما كان قبله ؟ ] وما كان أحد أحب إلي من رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم ولا أجل في عيني منه وما كنت أطيق أن أملأ عيني منه إجلالا له ولو سئلت أن أصفه ما أطقت لأني لم أكن أملأ عيني منه ولو مت على تلك الحال لرجوت أن أكون من أهل الجنة ثم ولينا أشياء ما أدري ما حالي فيها فإذا أنا مت فلا تصحبني نائحة ولا نار فإذا دفنتموني فشنوا علي التراب شنا ثم أقيموا حول قبري قدر ما تنحر جزور ويقسم لحمها حتى أستأنس بكم وأنظر ماذا أراجع به رسل ربي . رواه مسلم
قوله : [ شنوا ] : روي بالشين المعجمة وبالمهملة أي : صبوه قليلا قليلا والله سبحانه أعلم
711. Ibn Shumasah reported: We visited `Amr bin Al-`as (May Allah be pleased with him) when he was in his deathbed. He wept for a long time and turned his face towards the wall. His son said: "O father, did not the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) give you the good news of such and such? Did he not give you glad tidings of such and such?) Then he (`Amr) turned his face towards us and said: "The best thing which you can count upon is the affirmation that: La ilaha illallah (there is no true god except Allah), and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I have passed through three phases. I remember when I hated none more than I hated the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and there was no other desire stronger in me than that of killing him. Had I died in that state, I would have definitely been one of the dwellers of Fire (Hell). When Allah instilled the love for Islam in my heart, I went to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and said, `Extend your right hand, so that I pledge allegiance to you.' He (PBUH) stretched out his right hand, but I withdrew my hand. He said, `What is the matter, `Amr?' I said, `I wish to lay down same conditions.' He asked, `What conditions do you wish to put forward?' I replied, `To be granted forgiveness.' He said, `Do you not know that (embracing) Islam wipes out all that has gone before it (previous misdeeds). Verily, emigration wipes out all the previous sins, and the Hajj (pilgrimage) wipes out all the previous sins.' Thereafter, no one was dearer to me than Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and none was more respectable than him in my eyes. So bright was his splendour that I could not gather enough courage to look at his face for any length of time. If I were asked to describe his feature, I would not be able to do so because I have never caught a full glimpse of his face. Had I died in that state I could have hoped to be one of the dwellers of Jannah. Thereafter, we were made responsible for many things and in the light of which I am unable to know what is in store for me. When I die, no mourner, nor fire should accompany my bier. When you bury me, throw the earth gently over me and stand over my grave for the space of time within which a camel is slaughtered and its meat is distributed so that I may enjoy your intimacy, and in your presence ascertain what answer can I give to the Messengers of my Rubb (the angels in grave).)
[Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith tells us about three phases of the life of `Amr bin Al-`as (May Allah be pleased with him), that is, pre-Islamic period, post-faith period and the governorship period. Of the last one, when he shouldered heavy responsibilities, he feared that he might have committed some lapses and for that he might be subjected to accountability before Allah. The Hadith invites our attention to the following points:
First, Amr's vehement hostility of pre-faith days was transformed into intense love for the Prophet (PBUH) upon embracing Islam. Second, the greatness of the Prophet (PBUH) was ingrained in the Companions' hearts. Third, the fear of error and the hope of Divine mercy may cause one to shed tears at the moment of death. Fourth, it is desirable on the part of relatives and friends to do something for the comfort of a dying person by giving him the glad tidings of Allah's Mercy. Fifth, Islam wipes out all previous sins, but afterwards, life should be led according to the dictates of true Faith. In the same way the minor sins are pardoned on account of Hijrah, and Hajj, but a sincere repentance with all its conditions is indispensable to the remission of major sins. Sixth, lamentation over a dead body is forbidden. Seventh, one may desirably make a will before death, particularly with regard to the anti-Shari`ah heresies and rites to which the bereaved people are likely to take recourse. Eighth, there is an affirmation of the orthodox belief that Munkir and Nakir (two angels) appear in the grave and question the dead person about his or her religious beliefs. Ninth, to stand over the grave and to pray for the salvation of the dead person is a desirable act, as the dead person enjoys the intimacy and the visit of the righteous to his grave. This Hadith, therefore, recommends believers to pray for the firmness of the dead person.
96 - باب وداع الصاحب ووصيته عود فراقه لسفر وغيره والدعاء له وطلب الدعاء منه
Chapter 96
Bidding Farewell and Advising on the Eve of Departure for a Journey or other Things
قال الله تعالى ( البقرة 132 ، 133 ) : { ووصى بها إبراهيم بنيه ويعقوب : يا بني إن الله اصطفى لكم الدين فلا تموتن إلا وأنتم مسلمون أم كنتم شهداء إذ حضر يعقوب الموت إذ قال لبنيه ما تعبدون من بعدي ؟ قالوا : نعبد إلهك وإله آبائك إبراهيم وإسماعيل وإسحاق إلها واحدا ونحن له مسلمون }
وأما الأحاديث :
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya`qub (Jacob) (saying), `O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then die not except in the Faith of Islam (as Muslims - Islamic Monotheism).' Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya`qub (Jacob)? When he said unto his sons, `What will you worship after me?' They said, `We shall worship your Ilah (God - Allah) the Ilah (God) of your fathers, Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma`il (Ishmael), Ishaq (Isaac). One Ilah (God), and to Him we submit (in Islam)'.) (2:132,133)
712 - فمنها حديث زيد بن أرقم رضي الله عنه - الذي سبق في باب إكرام أهل بيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم ( انظر الحديث رقم 345 ) - قال : قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم فينا خطيبا فحمد الله وأثنى عليه ووعظ وذكر ثم قال : [ أما بعد ألا أيها الناس فإنما أنا بشر يوشك أن يأتي رسول ربي فأجيب وأنا تارك فيكم ثقلين : أولهما كتاب الله فيه الهدى والنور فخذوا بكتاب الله واستمسكوا به ] فحث على كتاب الله ورغب فيه . ثم قال : [ وأهل بيتي أذكركم الله في أهل بيتي ] رواه مسلم . وقد سبق بطوله
712. Yazid bin Haiyan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I went along with Husain bin Sabrah and `Amr bin Muslim to Zaid bin Arqam (May Allah be pleased with them) and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to him: "O Zaid, you acquired great merits that you saw Messenger of Allah (PBUH), listened to his talk, fought by his side in (different) battles, and offered Salat behind him. You have in fact earned great merits, Zaid! Could you then tell us what you heard from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)?) He said: "O my cousin! By Allah! I have grown old and have almost spent up my age and I have forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with Messenger of Allah (PBUH), so accept what I narrate to you, and what I fail to narrate, do not compel me to narrate that.) He then said: "One day Messenger of Allah (PBUH) stood up to deliver a Khutbah at a watering place known as Khumm between Makkah and Al-Madinah. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the Khutbah and exhorted (us) and said, `Amma Ba`du (now then)! O people, certainly I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Rubb and I, in response to Allah's Call, but I am leaving among you two weighty things: the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it.' He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said, `The second are the members of my household, I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family.)'
Commentary: The Prophet (PBUH) told his Companions with reference to his human nature that he too could not escape death because it was a grim reality. So he left his example to others with regard to making a will before death. The Hadith points out the desirability of giving good counsel to one's family and friends, exhorting them to observe uprightness and establish Faith, upon parting either for a journey or while one is on deathbed.
713 - وعن أبي سليمان مالك بن الحويرث رضي الله عنه قال : أتينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم ونحن شببة متقاربون فأقمنا عنده عشرين ليلة وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم رحيما رفيقا فظن أنا قد اشتقنا أهلنا فسألنا عمن تركنا من أهلنا فأخبرناه . فقال : [ ارجعوا إلى أهليكم فأقيموا فيهم وعلموهم ومروهم وصلوا صلاة كذا في حين كذا وصلاة كذا في حين كذا فإذا حضرت الصلاة فليؤذن لكم أحدكم وليؤمكم أكبركم ] متفق عليه
زاد البخاري في رواية له : [ وصلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي ]
قوله [ رحيما رفيقا ] روي بفاء وقاف وروي بقافين
713. Malik bin Al-Huwairith (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) when we were all young men of nearly equal age. We stayed with him for twenty days. He was extremely kind and considerate. He perceived that we missed our families so he asked us about those we left behind, and we informed him. Then he (PBUH) said, "Go back to your families, stay with them, teach them (about Islam) and exhort them to do good. Perform such Salat (prayer) at such a time and such Salat at such a time. When the time for Salat is due, one of you should announce Adhan (call for prayer) and the oldest among you should lead Salat.)
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith sheds light on seven points. First, we are informed of certain young men who had left their homes and come to the Prophet (PBUH) in order to receive religious training from him. This shows that a student of knowledge should not hesitate to set forth on a journey in the pursuit of knowledge. Second, a teacher/mentor is supposed to have firsthand information about the affairs and requirements of students and to take measures accordingly. Third, after graduation or the completion of an orientation course in religious studies, the beneficiaries are also required to impart religious knowledge and training to those who lack it. Fourth, they should also tell people to do what is commanded by the Shari`ah (Islamic Law) and to shun what it prohibits. Fifth, an arrangement must be made for a Mu'adhdhin to call people to Salat (prayers). Sixth, in case each one of the congregation is equally qualified to lead the Salat, the one who is most senior in age should perform the duty. The first prerequisite of becoming an Imam is the ability to recite Qur'an well and in the right manner. The second in priority is that person who is well-grounded in the religion - Qur'an and Hadith. In other words, a good Qari (reciter) is most fit to become an Imam and the second choice should be the one who has the mastery of religious knowledge. Seventh, the crux of the matter is that on all occasions and at all places, believers are under obligation to take care to establish congregational prayer after the prayer-call.
714 - وعن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه قال : استأذنت النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم في العمرة فأذن وقال : [ لا تنسنا يا أخي من دعائك ] فقال كلمة ما يسرني أن لي بها الدنيا . وفي رواية قال : [ أشركنا يا أخي في دعائك ] رواه أبو داود والترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح

715 - وعن سالم بن عبد الله بن عمر أن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنه كان يقول للرجل إذا أراد سفرا : ادن مني حتى أودعك كما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يودعنا فيقول : أستودع الله دينك وأمانتك وخواتيم عملك . رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح
715. Salim bin `Abdullah bin `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: When a man was to set out on a journey, `Abdullah bin `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) would say to him: "Draw near so that I may bid farewell to you as Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to bid farewell to us. (The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to say: "`Astaudi`ullaha dinaka, wa amanataka, wa khawatima `amalika' (I entrust Allah with your Deen, your trust and your last deeds).)
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: Herein, we note a provision for uttering benedictory words and praying for a person on the occasion of seeing him off. The benedictory utterances are: "I entrust your Deen, your (religious) trust (i.e., religious obligations) and your last deeds with Allah.)
716 - وعن عبد الله بن يزيد الخطمي الصحابي رضي الله عنه قال : كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم إذا أراد أن يودع الجيش يقول : [ أستودع الله دينكم وأمانتكم وخواتيم أعمالكم ] حديث صحيح رواه أبو داود وغيره بإسناد صحيح
716. `Abdullah bin Yazid Al-Khatmi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Messenger of Allah (PBUH) intended to bid farewell to his army he would say: "Astau-di'ullaha dinakaum, wa amanatakum, wa khawatima `amalikum (I entrust Allah with your Deen, your trust and your last deeds).)
[Abu Dawud].
Commentary: This Hadith presents the same benediction as stated above. Yet, here its addresses are the plural number of second person, whereas in the previous Hadith it was singular number. The Hadith points out the virtue desirability of the leader to bid farewell to his army before they set out for the battlefield, and to advise them using the Prophet's words stated above, reminding them to hold fast to their religion for which they have left everything behind to fight for it and to win Allah's Mercy.
717 - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال : جاء رجل إلى النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم فقال : يا رسول الله إني أريد سفرا فزودني . فقال : [ زودك الله التقوى ] قال : زدني . قال : [ وغفر ذنبك ] . قال : زدني . قال : [ ويسر لك الخير حيثما كنت ] رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن
717. Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I intend to go on a journey, so supplicate for me.) He (PBUH) said, "May Allah grant you the provision of piety.) The man said: "Please supplicate more for me.) He (PBUH) said, "May He forgive your sins!) The man repeated: "Please supplicate more for me.) Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "May He facilitate for you the doing of good wherever you are.)
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: Spiritually speaking, the most beneficial thing that a traveller can bank upon is a benediction. So, it is desirable for a traveller to visit his fellow Muslim brother to pray for him before he starts his journey.
97 - في الاستخارة والمشاورة
Chapter 97
Istikhara (Seeking Guidance from Allah), and Consultation
قال الله تعالى ( آل عمران 159 ) : { وشاورهم في الأمر }
وقال تعالى ( الشورى 38 ) : { وأمرهم شورى بينهم } أي يتشاورون بينهم فيه
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And consult them in the affairs.) (3:159)
"And who (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation.) (42:38)
718 - وعن جابر رضي الله عنه قال : كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يعلمنا الاستخارة في الأمور كلها كالسورة من القرآن يقول : [ إذا هم أحدكم بالأمر فليركع ركعتين من غير الفريضة ثم ليقل :
اللهم إني أستخيرك بعلمك وأستقدرك بقدرتك وأسألك من فضلك العظيم فإنك تقدر ولا أقدر وتعلم ولا أعلم وأنت علام الغيوب اللهم إن كنت تعلم أن هذا الأمر خير لي في ديني ومعاشي وعاقبة أمري أو قال : عاجل أمري وآجله فاقدره لي ويسره لي ثم بارك لي فيه وإن كنت تعلم أن هذا الأمر شر لي في ديني ومعاشي وعاقبة أمري أو قال : عاجل أمري وآجله فاصرفه عني واصرفني عنه واقدر لي الخير حيث كان ثم رضني به
قال : [ ويسمي حاجته ( 1 ) ] رواه البخاري
718. Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to teach us the Istikharah (seeking guidance from Allah) in all matters as he would teach us a Surah of the Qur'an. He used to say: "When one of you contemplates entering upon an enterprise, let him perform two Rak`ah of optional prayer other than Fard prayers and then supplicate: "Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi `ilmika, wa astaqdiruka bi qudratika, wa as-'aluka min fadlikal-`azim. Fainnaka taqdiru wa la aqdiru, wa ta`lamu wa la a`lamu, wa Anta `allamul-ghuyub. Allahumma in kunta ta`lamu anna hadhal-`amra (and name what you want to do) khairun li fi dini wa ma`ashi wa `aqibati amri, (or he said) `ajili amri ajilihi, faqdurhu li wa yassirhu li, thumma barik li fihi. Wa in kunta ta`lamu anna hadhal `amra (and name what you want to do) sharrun li fi dini wa ma`ashi wa `aqibati amri, (or he said) wa `ajili amri wa ajilihi, fasrifhu `anni, wasrifni `anhu, waqdur liyal-khaira haithu kana, thumma ardini bihi.) (O Allah, I consult You through Your Knowledge, and I seek strength through Your Power, and ask of Your Great Bounty; for You are Capable whereas I am not and, You know and I do not, and You are the Knower of hidden things. O Allah, if You know that this matter (and name it) is good for me in respect of my Deen, my livelihood and the consequences of my affairs, (or he said), the sooner or the later of my affairs then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. But if You know this matter (and name it) to be bad for my Deen, my livelihood or the consequences of my affairs, (or he said) the sooner or the later of my affairs then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it, and grant me power to do good whatever it may be, and cause me to be contented with it). And let the supplicant specify the object.)
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary: Literally Istikharah means seeking goodness from Allah through a particular prayer. This Hadith lays emphasis on it and displays its significance. We should, therefore, practise Istikharah regarding every important matter. However, it is imperative only in cases where one is ignorant of good and evil. Yet, with regard to obligatory and indisputable rules, practices of the Prophet (PBUH) and commendable deeds, no Istikharah is allowed. Similarly, commands and prohibitions of the Shari`ah are categorical and nobody is allowed to seek further guidance by performing Istikharah prayer. Moreover, to set aside the example of the Prophet (PBUH) of Istikharah, and to trust astrologers, palmists and soothsayers seeking the knowledge of future events is sheer ignorance and unpardonable error. The knowledge of the Unseen (or Ghaib) is the domain of Allah Alone and man is supposed to seek His Blessings. Only Allah is Omnipotent and humans must turn to Him to seek inspiration and strength, trusting everything to His Care.
Istikharah prayer can be offered at any time except in the forbidden hours for prayer because the performance of two Rak`ah is a prerequisite to it. Some people think that the right time for it is before going to bed. This is not true. This supplication (Du`a) can be offered even after performing the two Rak`ah of Istikharah prayer, or before Taslim (i.e., saying Assalamu `Alaikum to conclude the prayer) after Tashahhud or in the state of prostration. If somebody does not know this Du`a by heart, he can, after performing the prayer, read it from some prayerbook.

98 - باب استحباب الذهاب إلى العيد وعيادة المريض والحج والغزو والجنازة ونحوها من طريق والرجوع من طريق آخر لتكثير مواضع العبادة
Chapter 98
Excellence of Adopting Different Routes for going and returning on 'Eid Prayer and various other Occasions
719 - عن جابر رضي الله عنه قال : كان النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم إذا كان يوم عيد خالف الطريق . رواه البخاري
قوله [ خالف الطريق ] : يعني ذهب في طريق ورجع في طريق آخر
719. Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: On the occasion of the `Eid, the Prophet (PBUH) would proceed to the prayer place taking one route and returning from another.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: The `Ulama' say that there are many subtle points of wisdom in changing the way. According to Imam An-Nawawi, this causes an increase in the places of worship. Some say that both ways will bear witness on the Day of Reckoning, that he had passed through them in a state of worship. This may also be the object that instead of one way, the needy on two ways should benefit from alms and charity.
720 - وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم كان يخرج من طريق الشجرة ويدخل من طريق المعرس وإذا دخل مكة دخل من الثنية العليا ويخرج من الثنية السفلى . متفق عليه
720. Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to go by way of Ash-Shajarah and return by way of Al-Mu`arras. He would also enter Makkah through the Higher Pass and would leave it through the Lower Pass.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: It was the habit of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) that while going to Makkah from Al-Madinah, he would adopt the route of a shallow ravine and his return route being always a deep ravine. Ash-Shajarah is a well-known place. He would pass through it and reach Dhul-Hulaifah and spend a night there. Yet, he would proceed to Al-Madinah through Al-Mu`arras, a name given to Dhul-Hulaifah Masjid (mosque) which is six-mile away from Al-Madinah. Again this is to be concluded that while returning to our destination from any place, we should choose a different route because this was exactly the habit of the Prophet (PBUH) .
99 - باب استحباب تقديم اليمين في كل ما هو من باب التكريم كالوضوء والغسل والتيمم ولبس الثوب والنعل والخف والسراويل ودخول المسجد والسواك والاكتحال وتقليم الأظفار وقص الشارب ونتف الإبط وحلق الرأس والسلام من الصلاة والأكل والشرب والمصافحة واستلام الحجر الأسود والخروج من الخلاء والأخذ والعطاء وغير ذلك مما هو في معناه ويستحب تقديم اليسار في ضد ذلك كالامتخاط والبصاق عن اليسار ودخول الخلاء والخروج من المسجد وخلع الخف والنعل والسراويل والثوب والاستنجاء وفعل المستقذرات وأشباه ذلك
Chapter 99
Excellence of using the right Hand for Performing various good Acts
قال الله تعالى ( الحاقة 19 ) : { فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه فيقول : هاؤم اقرءوا كتابيه } الآيات
وقال تعالى ( الواقعة 8 ، 9 ) : { فأصحاب الميمنة ما أصحاب الميمنة وأصحاب المشأمة ما أصحاب المشأمة }Allah, the Exalted, says:
"Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: `Take, read my Record!)' (69:19)
"So those on the Right Hand (i.e., those who will be given their Records in their right hands) how (fortunate) will those be on the Right Hand! (As a respect for them, because they will enter Jannah). And those on the Left Hand (i.e., those who will be given their Record in their left hands) how (unfortunate) will those be on the Left Hand! (As a disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell).) (56:8,9)
721 - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت : كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يعجبه التيمن في شأنه كله : في طهوره وترجله وتنعله . متفق عليه
721. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) liked to use his right hand in all matters: in combing his hair and wearing his shoes.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
722 - وعنها رضي الله عنها قالت : كانت يد رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم اليمنى لطهوره وطعامه وكانت اليسرى لخلائه وما كان من أذى . حديث صحيح رواه أبو داود وغيره بإسناد صحيح
722. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah was used to using his right hand for performing Wudu' and for eating his food whereas he was used to using his left hand in his toilet and for other similar purposes.
[Abu Dawud]
Commentary: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to use his left hand in washing his private parts and cleaning his nose and similar things, Muslims are obliged to follow his example.
723 - وعن أم عطية رضي الله عنها أن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال لهن في غسل ابنته رضي الله عنها : [ ابدأن بميامنها ومواضع الوضوء منها ] متفق عليه
723. Umm `Atiyyah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) instructed us at the time of washing the dead body of his daughter Zainab (May Allah be pleased with her) to begin with her right side, and from the parts that are washed in Wudu'.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: Here we are told about the excellence of washing the dead starting with their right side, Umm `Atiyyah (May Allah be pleased with her) was one of those women who had washed the dead body of the Prophet's daughter Zainab (May Allah be pleased with her). Messenger of Allah (PBUH) directed these women to do as mentioned above. We infer from this Hadith that either women should wash the dead body of a woman or this job should be done by her husband.
724 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ إذا انتعل أحدكم فليبدأ باليمنى وإذا نزع فليبدأ بالشمال لتكن اليمنى أولهما تنعل وآخرهما تنزع ] متفق عليه
724. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When any of you puts on his shoes, he should put on the right one first; and when he takes them off, he should begin with the left. Let the right shoe be the first to be put on and the last to be taken off.)
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith sheds light on the etiquette of wearing as well as removing shoes. Every Muslim is supposed to have regard for the Prophetic example and to follow it.
725 - وعن حفصة رضي الله عنها أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم كان يجعل يمينه لطعامه وشرابه وثيابه ويجعل يساره لما سوى ذلك ] رواه أبو داود وغيره
725. Hafsah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to use his right hand for eating, drinking and wearing his clothes and used to use his left hand for other purposes.
[Abu Dawud].
726 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ إذا لبستم وإذا توضأتم فابدءوا بأيامنكم ] حديث صحيح رواه أبو داود والترمذي بإسناد صحيح
726. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When you wear your clothes or perform your Wudu', begin with your right side.)
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
727 - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم أتى منى فأتى الجمرة فرماها ثم أتى منزله بمنى ونحر ثم قال للحلاق : [ خذ ] وأشار إلى جانيه الأيمن ثم الأيسر ثم جعل يعطيه الناس . متفق عليه
وفي رواية : لما رمى الجمرة ونحر نسكه وحلق ناول الحلاق شقه الأيمن فحلقه ثم دعا أبا طلحة الأنصاري رضي الله عنه فأعطاه إياه ثم ناوله الشق الأيسر فقال : [ احلق ] فحلقه فأعطاه أبا طلحة فقال : [ اقسمه بين الناس ]
727. Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Messenger of Allah (PBUH) went to Mina, he came to Jamrat-ul-`Aqabah and threw pebbles at it. After that, he went to his lodge in Mina and sacrificed. Then he called for a barber and pointed his right side to him, said, "Shave from here.) Then he pointed his left side and said, "Take (hair) from here.) Then he distributed his hair among the people.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Another narration is: After the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had thrown pebbles at Jamrah and sacrificed an animal, he turned the right side of his head towards the barber who shaved it for him. Then he called Abu Talhah Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) and gave his hair to him. Then he turned his head to the left side and asked the barber to shave it. He gave the hair to Abu Talhah and told him, "Distribute it among the people.)
Commentary: After returning from `Arafat on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, pilgrims throw pebbles at Jamrat-ul-Aqabah. This is followed by the sacrifice of an animal, the shaving of the head and the farewell Tawaf (circumambulation) of the Holy House. All this is to be observed on the Sacrificial Day in the exact order of priorities. Yet, an unexpected disturbance in this order involves no juristic disadvantage. Moreover, the act of throwing pebbles marks an end to the ban on legal concessions. But this permissibility is minor and partial, that is, everything becomes lawful except the physical contact with one's wife. The ban is totally lifted in the wake of the farewell circumambulation of the House of Allah. Secondly, we are told that the ritual shaving of the head should begin from the right side. Thirdly, there is a mention of the distribution of the Prophet's hair as a blessing among the Companions which is one of the Prophetic characteristics.
