"and this is a good ḥadīth from the narration of Kurayb."

- "The lower garment should be up to the middle of the shank. When he saw that this was difficult for the Muslims, he said: Up to the ankles, there is no good in what is below that." It was recorded by Aḥmad (3/140, 249, 256) and al-Bayhaqī in "Shuʿab al-Īmān" (2/223/2) through various chains from Ḥumayd from Anas in a marfūʿ form. I say: This isnād is authentic according to the criteria of al-Bukhārī and Muslim, and the ḥadīth has many supporting narrations found in "Mishkāt" (4331) and "Targhīb" (3/97-98). Among the supporting narrations not mentioned there is the ḥadīth of Ḥudhayfah ibn al-Yamān who said: "The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) took hold of my calf muscle and said: This is the place for the lower garment, but if you refuse, then lower, but if you refuse, then there is no right for the lower garment below the ankles." It was recorded by the authors of the Sunan except Abū Dāwūd, and by Ibn Ḥibbān (1447), Aḥmad (5/382, 396, 398, 400), and al-Ḥumaydī (445) from Muslim ibn Nudhīr from him. And it was corroborated by al-Agharr Abū Muslim from Ḥudhayfah in Ibn Ḥibbān (1448). This sunnah is something that many of the elite have neglected, let alone the common people, as I explained in the introduction to my new book "Mukhtaṣar al-Shamāʾil al-Muḥammadiyyah," which is on its way to being printed, if Allāh wills.

- "The majority are the lowest on the Day of Resurrection, except for those who say about wealth: like this and like this, and earn it from what is lawful." It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (4130) through the chain of ʿIkrimah ibn ʿAmmār who narrated to me from Abū Zumayl—who is Simāk—from Mālik ibn Murthad al-Ḥanafī from his father from Abū Dharr who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: and he mentioned it
