Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Mas'ud narrated to us, saying: Yahya narrated to us from 'Ubayd Allah, saying: We were narrated...
The Shaykh : The Sifah is well known; it is this small chamber. The Sifah was where the poor Muhajireen were brought to stay. People would come and send food to them, and their story is well known. Some of the leaders of the Sufis have claimed that they were named after the Sifah, referring to those who remained in this chamber and became ascetics. However, this does not support their claim regarding the term, because the relationship between "Suf" (wool) and "Sufi" is clear. The Sufis are named after wool. If they were named after the Sifah, they would have been called "Saffiyyah," not "Sufi." Yes.
