Remembrance 1 from Chapter 5
What to say to one’s companion when seeing him in new clothes
Arabic
Romanisation
Albis jadīdā, wa ‘ish ḥamīdā, wa mut shahīdan sa‘īdā.
Context
We relate in the books of Ibn Mājah and Ibn as-Sunnī that Ibn ‘Umar
narrated that the Messenger of Allah
saw a garment on ‘Umar and asked: “Is this new or washed?” He said: “It is washed.” So he
said: “Wear new things, live laudably, and die as a shahīd, blessedly.” [2].
