Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Sulayman ibn Harb narrated to us, saying: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us from Ayyub from Muhammad from Abu Hurayrah, who said: . Then a man asked 'Umar, and he said: "If Allah makes it easy for you, then make it easy for yourselves".
The Shaykh : May Allah reward him with good. 'Umar is always successful in reaching the truth. That is, a shortage of garments in a state of poverty and destitution. And when Allah makes it easy for us, we make it easy. Therefore, we find now that the minimum for each of us is four garments. The minimum for us, is it not so? Trousers, a t-shirt, a shirt. A tiban does not combine with trousers.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : This is the head covering, which is either a turban, a ghutrah, or a cap. This is from the words of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), which brings joy to a person, because a person fears that this increase might be extravagance. And it seems from the words of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), or it is taken from his words, that extravagance varies according to the spender, according to the eater, according to the drinker. It may be that this thing is extravagance for one person and not extravagance for another person. And it may be that it is extravagance in one time and not extravagance in another time. Yes.
The reciter: And I think he said: "in a tiban and a rida".
The Shaykh : That means the matter in this is broad, and these are examples indicating the breadth of the matter. Yes.
A man stood up to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about praying in a single garment. He said: "Does every one of you find two garments?"
قام رجل إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فسأله عن الصلاة في الثوب الواحد فقال: أوكلكم يجد ثوبينThe Shaykh : May Allah reward him with good. 'Umar is always successful in reaching the truth.
