Sunan Of Clothing And Eating

Supplication upon wearing new clothes
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Saeed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that when the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam used to wear new clothing, he would name it by its name, either qamees (shirt) or ‘imaamah (turban), then say: “O Allah, for you is praise! You clothed me in it, and I ask you for its good and for what it was made for. And I seek refuge in you from its evil and the evil of what it has been created for” [Abu Dawood: 4020]

Starting to wear the shoe on the right
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that when the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam said: “If one of you puts on shoes, let him begin with the right. And when he takes it off, let him begin with the left. And let him put them both on or let him take them off both.” [Agreed upon: 5495 & 5855]

Saying ‘bismillaah’ at the start of eating
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him), I was in the room of the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam, and my hand was flying around the plate.

Burial Of The Martyrs

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) supervised the martyrs’ burial and said: “I bear witness that anyone who is wounded in the way of Allah, Allah will resurrect him with his wound bleeding a liquid which is bloodlike in colour but musk-like in scent.”

Some of the Companions carried their men killed in the war to Madinah, but the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ordered that they should be sent back to be buried where they were killed. He ordered that they should not be washed but buried as they were after stripping them of their armour and leather clothes. He used to bury every two or three martyrs together in one grave and even join two men in one garment while saying: “Who is the more learned of the Qur’an?” and he would commit him to earth first. He would say: “I bear witness to those on the Day of Resurrection.” He buried both ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Haram and ‘Amr bin Al-Jamuh in one grave due to the affection they used to possess for each other.

They missed the coffin of Hanzalah (radi Allahu anhu); they sought it and found that it was on a spot nearby with water dripping off it. The Messenger of Allah told his Companions that the angels were washing him and said, “Ask his wife”. They asked her, and she confirmed that he had been in a state of ceremonial impurity. That was why Hanzalah was called ‘Ghaseel Al-Mala’ikah’ (i.e. the one washed by the angels).
