A very important benefit regarding offering an excuse, from the hadith: ( . . . and he said: "I did not throw it at him except that I forbade him [from it] and he did not stop . . . )
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : It also contains evidence that a person should offer an excuse before what he fears will be blamed for, due to his saying: "I did not throw it at him except that I forbade him [from it] and he did not stop". So if you do something you fear will be blamed for, offer the excuse. This is a principle from the Sunnah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) when Safiyyah came to visit him. He stood up to see her off, and two men from the Ansar passed by and hurried away. He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 3281
As for a person not caring and saying, "As long as the matter between me and Allah is clear, I do not care if anyone speaks about me," this is incorrect. This is injustice to oneself. A person should clarify anything that might be blamed for, because people may build a dome on a grain. A thing may be trivial in your view, but when people chew on it and talk about it, it becomes big and increases. People are not all the same in the goodness of their intentions and purposes, nor in transgression and moderation. Many people have bad intentions, and many people are transgressors, meaning they did not benefit from the legislative commands and prohibitions and remained in their natural state, which is the original state of injustice and ignorance.
The point of this hadith is his saying: "silk and brocade". Silk means pure silk, and brocade is mixed with silk, meaning cotton or wool woven with silk. However, we have previously mentioned that what is woven with silk is not forbidden except for what? That in which silk is the majority and the predominant part. Yes.
Don't hurry! It is Safiya, the daughter of Huyay (i.e. my wife).
