Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Ibn Hibban 64:372 their heads like the humps of camels
Answer:
“Clothed yet naked” means wearing clothes that do not cover, so they are clothed in the sense of wearing clothes, but they are naked because these clothes do not cover them. “Leaning and causing others to lean” means they are inclined in themselves, inclined away from the truth, and they incline others who look at them and see them. “Their heads like the humps of camels.” The *bukht* is a type of camel called *bukhati* from the camels of the East. Each of them has two humps, so when a woman gathers her hair and ties it on top of her head at the back, it becomes as if she has two heads; this is its meaning. Yes.
