Malik Muwatta 48.7 15 Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-A'raj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you put on sandals, begin with the right foot. When you take them off, begin with the left foot. The right foot is the first to be put in the sandal and the last to be taken out."

[In Bukhari]

16 Yahya related to me from Malik from his paternal uncle, Abu Suhayl ibn Malik, from his father that Ka'b al-Ahbar said to a man who took off his sandals, "Why have you taken off your sandals? Perhaps you have interpreted this ayat, 'Take off your sandals. You are in the holy valley of Tuwa'? (20:12) Do you know what the sandals of Musa were?"

Malik (Abu Suhayl's father) said, "I do not know what the man answered." Ka'b said, "They were made from the skin of a dead donkey."




48.8 Ways of Dressing

17 Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-A'raj that Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade two kinds of sale. Mulamasa, in which a man is obliged to buy whatever he touches without any choice in the matter, and munabadha, in which two men throw their garment to each other without either seeing the other's garment. He also forbade two ways of dressing. One in which a man sits with his legs drawn up to his chest wrapped in one garment that does not cover his genitals, and the other in which a man wraps a single garment over one arm and shoulder restricting them."

[Bukhari]

18 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that 'Abdullah saw a silk robe at the door of the mosque. He said, "Messenger of Allah, would you buy this robe and wear it on Jumu'a and when envoys come to you?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No one wears this but a person who has no portion in the Next World." Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was brought some robes of the same material and gave one of them to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. 'Umar said, "Messenger of Allah, do you clothe me in it when you said what you said about the robe of 'Utarid?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I did not give it to you to wear." 'Umar gave it to a brother of his in Makka who was still an idolator.

[cf Bukhari 846; also in Muslim]

19 Yahya related to me from Malik that Ishaq ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talha said, "Anas ibn Malik said, 'I saw 'Umar ibn al-Khattab when he was the amir of Madina. Three patches were sewn between his shoulders, one patched over the other.' "
