Benefits of the hadith of the man who tied himself to another man during tawaf.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In this is evidence of the wisdom of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), where he achieves the desired outcome without harm. These are two men performing tawaf, and one of them had tied his hand to the other’s hand with a strap, a rope, or something similar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) cut it and said:
He led him by the hand قده بيده
Because if he leads him by the hand, it is possible to release him easily when necessary. But if he had tied his hand to his hand with a thread, it would be difficult to release, and hardship would befall them and others. He permitted him to hold his hand because necessity may call for it, but it is better not to hold his hand, nor even by the hand, except when necessary. And if they need to separate, let them separate. Yes, and the point of this is his saying:
He led him by the hand قده بيده
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) spoke while he was performing tawaf. Yes.
