Re: Shias and the Turba in Prayer
Fraudia, I haven't looked up that hadith, but it would make sense if you examine the nature of the Islamic movement. It was a rebellion against the rich, the materialistic, and the corrupt; not just a rebellion against people who didn't believe in a God. It would make sense if he were telling his people to pray on simple non-extravagent materials.
.
it is all connected those who were the true believers were also the least materialistic ....and material wealth spoils the eman of even the best of believers
