Continuation of the explanation of the hadith of Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him): (And do not open for them the gates of those who give what is due from them but do not give what is due to them . . .)

The Shaykh :Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2444Sahih (Darussalam): Umar said: -The Umar here is Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, the Rightly Guided Caliph- "But I have married the women of privilege": Fatimah bint Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, so he married before becoming caliph, of course, he married the daughter of the Umayyad king, Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan.
Umar says: "But I have married the women of privilege, Fatimah bint Abd al-Malik, and the gates of privilege were opened to me. No doubt, I do not wash my head until it becomes disheveled, nor the garment next to my body until it becomes dirty. Al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and al-Hakim narrated it, and the wording is his, and he said: The chain is authentic".
There is a point of consideration in Umar's statement, because he understood from the hadith that one of the characteristics of those poor emigrants, which is that their clothes are dirty, is an intended matter for these poor people. We do not understand this at all. A Muslim may be poor and not find clothes to change into for the slightest occasion, but if he is able to wash these clothes and clean them, that does not contradict his poverty. And as we said earlier, we explained that their clothes are shabby not by their intention, but due to their inability for one of them to be able to wash his clothes whenever they become dirty. So Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, who is a married man and has Fatimah as his wife, and she is able to wash his clothes and wash him and comb his hair as well, for him to intentionally wear dirty clothes and leave his hair uncombed and uncleaned is a matter we do not see as acceptable in the Shari'ah, nor does the previous hadith indicate it. But this is how it appeared to Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said this word. And from here, the word of Imam Malik is true: "None of us is there except that he has been refuted and refuted others, except the owner of this grave". The fact that it was decreed for Umar to marry the privileged one, who is Fatimah, does not contradict that he is among the foremost in other respects. It is sufficient for him that he restored the rule of the Rightly Guided Caliphs to the Muslims. Intentional dirtiness and filth is not from Islam. Rather, Islam forbids filth just as it forbids much of extravagance and luxury, as we mentioned earlier.
