The Meaning of "One of Us Would Press His Foot Against His Companion's Foot"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people say that the hadith: "One of us would press his foot against his companion's foot," is to be understood as an expression of extreme exaggeration. Is that correct?
Answer:
In reality, the foot is placed right next to the foot, pressed against it. But the meaning is not that he should harm him by scratching or causing him pain. No, he simply places his foot beside his companion's so that there is no gap. That is sufficient; this is closing the gap.
