Amniotic
sac of She-Camel
One day the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم
was performing his Salah near the holy Ka'bah. The non-believers of Quraysh
were sitting nearby. One of them said 'Do you see him?' He then said referring
to the she-camel that had been slaughtered the previous day: Who will rise to
fetch the amniotic sac (the fluid-filled sac that contains a foetus) of the
she-camel of so and so tribe, and place it between the shoulders of the Beloved
Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ
وَسَلَّم when he goes down in prostration?
The one most accursed 'Uqbah Bin Abi
Mu'eet' got up, brought the amniotic sac and placed it between the shoulders of
Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ
وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم. The Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ
تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم stayed in the state of prostration and did
not raise his blessed head, then they laughed at him until the Sayyidah Fatimah
رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهَا (who was hardly 8
years old girl at that time) came and put away the filth from the blessed
shoulders of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ
تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم. Then the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم
raised his blessed head and invoked in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ: O Allah! Seize these people of Quraysh! O
Allah! Seize Abu Jahl Bin Hasham, Utbah Bin Rabi'a, Sheeba Bin Rabi'a, Waleed
Bin Utbah, Umayyah Bin Khalf and Uqbah Bin Abi Mu'eet. The narrator of this
blessed Hadith Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Masood رَضِيَ
اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ has said, 'I saw all of them (lying slain)
on the day of Badr and they were thrown into the well of Badr upside down on
their heads.'
(Sahih Bukhari, vol.
1, pp. 102, Hadees 240)

Dear Islamic brothers! In
conclusion, I take this opportunity to mention the excellence of a blessed
Sunnah as well as some Sunan and manners. The Prophet of Rahmah, the
Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى
عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّم has said, 'Whoever loves my Sunnah, loves
me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Jannah.'
(Mishkat-ul-Masabeeh,
vol. 1, pp. 55, Hadees 175)

Nine
Madani Pearls about Clipping Nails
1. It is Mustahab [preferred] to clip
nails on Friday. However, one should not wait for Friday if the nails have
grown long.
(Durr-e-Mukhtar, pp.
668, vol. 9)
The Sage of Fiqh, Shaykh Mufti
Maulana Amjad 'Ali A'zami عَلَيْهِ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهُ
الْقَوِى said 'It is narrated that whosoever clips his / her nails on
Friday, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will protect him from
calamities till the next Friday and for three days thereafter, that is, for 10
days. In one narration, it is said that whosoever clips his / her nails on
Friday, he will have mercy and sins will be forgiven.'
(Durr-e-Mukhtar,
Radd-ul-Muhtar, pp. 9, vol. 668, Bahar-e-Shari'at, part 16, pp. 225-226)
2. The following is the summary of the
prescribed method of clipping nails of hands: Begin with the index finger of
the right hand and clip your nails in sequence towards the pinkie (smallest
finger). Now, beginning with the pinkie of your left hand and clip your nails
in sequence towards the left thumb including nail of the left thumb. In the
end, clip the nail of the right thumb.
(Durr-e-Mukhtar, pp.
670, vol. 9, Ihya-ul-Uloom pp. 193, vol. 1)
3. There is no prescribed order of
clipping the toe nails. It would be better to start from the smallest toe on
the right foot and cut in order [towards the right thumb], including the thumb,
then cut in order on the left foot beginning with the thumb [towards the left
pinkie].
(Durr-e-Mukhtar, pp.
670, vol. 9, Ihya-ul-Uloom pp. 193, vol. 1)
4. It is Makrooh [disliked] to clip the
nails in the state of Janabat i.e., when Ghusl [the Purification Bath] becomes
obligatory.
(Fatawa 'Alamgeeri,
pp. 358, vol. 5)
5. It is Makrooh [disliked] to clip
nails with one's teeth; there is a fear of being inflicted with leprosy in
doing so.
(Fatawa 'Alamgeeri,
pp. 358, vol. 5)
6. Bury the nails after clipping them;
there is also no harm if they are thrown away.
(Fatawa-e-'Alamgeeri,
pp. 358, vol. 5)
7. It is Makrooh [disliked] to throw
the nails in toilet or bathroom as this causes illness.
(Fatawa 'Alamgeeri,
pp. 358, vol. 5)
8. Do not clip nails on Wednesday as
this can cause leprosy, however, if 39 days have passed since the nails have
been clipped and Wednesday happens to be the 40th day, then it is Wajib
[obligatory] to clip the nails as it is impermissible and Makrooh Tahreemi
[unlawful] to wait for more than forty (40) days.
(For details read
Fatawa-e-Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 574, 685)
9. Long nails are the seats for Satan
i.e. Satan sits on the long nails.
(Ithaf-us-Sadat-li-Zubaydi,
vol. 2, pp. 653)
To learn various Sunnahs, buy and
read 2 remarkable books, 'Bahar-e-Shari'at' part.16 comprising of 312 pages and
'Sunnatayn aur Adaab' comprising of 120 pages, both are published by
Maktaba-tul-Madinah. One of the best ways to learn the Sunnah is to travel with
the Madani Qafilah of Da'wat-e-Islami with the devotees of the Beloved Prophet.

FOR
BECOMING A PIOUS AND SALAH-OFFERING MUSLIM
Spend the whole night in the weekly
Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima' of Dawat-e-Islami held every Thursday after
Salat-ul-Maghrib in your city, for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ with good intentions. In order to learn
Sunnahs, make it your routine to travel with a 3-day Madani Qafilah every month
with the devotees of Rasool, to fill out the Madani In'amat booklet every day
practising Fikr-e-Madinah and to submit it to the relevant responsible Islamic
brother of your locality on the first date of every Madani month.
My Madani Aim: 'I must strive to
reform myself and people of the entire world إِنْ
شَاءَ اللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ. In order to reform ourselves, we must act
upon Madani In'amat and to strive to reform people of the entire world, we must
travel with Madani Qafilahs إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
عَزَّوَجَلَّ.'
