:jazak:

Re: Sunnah Way…

Wait a minute. So i start trimming the nail of the right index finger, work my way down to the pinky finger and then i just skip the thumb and proceed to the left hand? The nail of the right thumb should be cut at the very end? :confused:

Can you please post the Hadith or any other source from where you are getting all this from? Thanks!

Re: Sunnah Way...

also, I have heard, cutting/ trimming nails on Friday is also Sunnah.

Re: Sunnah Way...

Lets hope all this info was passed on correctly ; ) we're talking hundreds of years.

Re: Sunnah Way...

even, (for the sake of an argument) if we think, we are not sure of it as a sunnah, cutting nails like this would not be a sin. So I think, if there is nothing wrong with having your nails trimmed this way and doesnt even require a lot of time, lets do it. Sunnah hua to sawab miljaye ga..... nahin hua to bhi ho sakta hay sirf isliye sawab miljaye ke Sunnah samajh ke amal kiya!! :@:

Re: Sunnah Way...

nice sharing.

Re: Sunnah Way...

Nothing wrong with doing it that way, yeah. But passing on information that hasn't been confirmed is a sin...

Re: Sunnah Way...

^ofcourse, you are right! but I wrote in the answer of Philosophy! he/she said, we're talking hundreds of years, so a hadith is always that old. When we are talking about a Hadith, we are always talking about hundreds of years.. so shall we deny them??

But yeah, its a responsibility of someone who shares a hadith, to be assured of it as the genuine one before sharing it. And I hope, no Muslim would dare to pass on hadiths when he is shaky about it.

Re: Sunnah Way…

For those who want prove with hadees..**

​**The Messenger of Allah:saw2: (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) has said that, 'He who cuts his nails on Friday, will be in Allah’s (The Exalted) protection for the following week. He who cuts his nails on a Saturday will be spared from illness, and he who cuts his nails on Sunday will have poverty taken away from him. If someone is mentally unstable then by cutting his nails on Monday, this illness will be cured. He who cuts his nails on a Tuesday will also be protected from illness. It is better not to cut nails on Wednesday as there are hadith for and against, as Imam Tahawi said, paring nails on Wednesdays can cause leprosy. To cut nails on Thursday will cure illness such as leprosy.

EVEN IF SCHOLAR THINKS ABT SUNNAH N AHADEES THAT THEY MIGHT BE WEAK..

​​ ​’Once a scholar trimmed his nails on a Wednesday as this hadith was weak (Dhaif) and not authentic (Sahih). As he did not practise even a weak hadith as a consequence he became leprosy. That night when he went to sleep he saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) in his dream who said that, ‘Did you not hear that I warned you against trimming your nails on Wednesday’’ The scholar said, ‘The hadith is weak.’ The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, ‘Was it not sufficient that a hadith had reached you from me.’ The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) then wiped his blessed hands over the scholar curing him from his illness. The scholar repented and said that, ‘I will never go against a hadith.’ Subhanallah!

Method of cutting nails
'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates the way of cutting the nails: FOR THE RIGHT HAND: start of with the index finger, forefinger, ring finger and little finger, then moving onto the LEFT HAND: little finger, ring finger, forefinger, index finger, thumb and lastly the thumb of the right hand. Then to wash the hands after cutting the nails

Re: Sunnah Way…

Bechara Shaheed… poor unfortunate soul. He must be crying that instead of giving life he should have spent life cutting nails as each time he would cut nail as given, he would be getting rewards of 100 shaheed. :frowning:

Re: Sunnah Way...

well its not sin to do so this is mustahib amal,but if u don do like this then its not a sin..

Re: Sunnah Way...

peace,

and wht abt calling a sunnah way unconfirmied it is a sin too?

Re: Sunnah Way...

Actually it is sin to associate anything with Prophet (SAW) what he never said ... as that is bohtan. Similarly it is sin to do anything associating it with Prophet (SAW) as Sunnah what Prophet (SAW) never did, as that is bohtan too.

So, from what I know and believe, one should be careful of saying something and associating it to prophet (SAW) that is absurd, illogical, or looks ridiculous, regardless of the source ... as that could become big burden on judgment day.

Re: Sunnah Way…

Re: Sunnah Way...

Imam Ghazali (Rahmatullah Alayhi) has regarded the method described as mustahab, while most other ulama and fuqahaa are of the view that it is not mustahab to observe any particular sequence when clipping ones nails. However, Ibn Hajar Asqalaani (Rahmatullah Alayhi), an illustrious scholar of Hadith and author of "Fathul Bari", the commentary of Sahih al-Bukhari, presents another interpretation in light of Hadith to prove that cutting ones nails in sequence is at least recommended. He mentions the Hadith of A'isha (RadiyAllahu Anha) in which she says:

"Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) liked to begin with the right while combing his hair, while performing ablution (wudu), and when putting on his shoes. (Also in every other deed, he first began with the right then the left)." (Bukhari

This (beginning from the right) is not confined to the three acts mentioned in this Hadith. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) began everything with the right. The basic rule is that all those things that reflect dignity and elegance, beginning or putting on with the right is preferred, and when removing them the left is begun with, as when putting on clothes, shoes etc. When one enters the masjid, one enters with the right foot and leaves with the left foot first, as this is the place of dignity and greatness. On the contrary, those things that do not have elegance in them, for instance when entering the toilet, is begun with the left foot.

Therefore, we can say that it is recommended to begin clipping the nails with the right hand. As for the index finger of the right hand, Ibn Hajar Asqalaani (Rahmatullah Alayhi) explains that to start clipping from the musabbihah (better known as the Tashahhud finger (index finger) of the right hand is because of its virtue over the other fingers. As far as observing the sequence of the remaining fingers is concerned, it is because they start from the right of the index finger and as mentioned by A'isha (RadiyAllahu Anha) in the Hadith, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) always preferred the right side.

Re: Sunnah Way…

^actually its jus a matter of love with the PROPHET MUHAMMAD:saw2:those who don do like this are not doing any sin ..n those who r doing r not commiting any sin..

Re: Sunnah Way...

^^^Brother, I do not believe anyone as divine guide other than Prophet (SAW). I also believe that many hadiths in all books we read are concocted and is not from Prophet (SAW), regardless of the source. Reason is simple, that is: Some of the hadith are so illogical, absurd, and unethical that I would not even accept them as words or deeds of my father ... leave Prophet (SAW) who was more respectable then anyone.

Thus, I reject those hadith because I love prophet (SAW) and could not imagine Prophet (SAW) could have said or done those what I consider illogical, absurd and unethical. [Unfortunately, some people would accept anything as long as it came from books they consider divine and source they consider acceptable, regardless of its content ... and I am not from them]

Anyhow, I do not want to argue nor want to upset you in anyway. I mentioned what I believe. If you think that cutting nails in sequence would give you ‘sawab of 100 martyrs (shaheed)’ and that is what Prophet (SAW) said, then believe it and do accordingly, as it is your life and your worldly test. It is you who are responsible of your deeds and beliefs and would have to answer your deeds and beliefs on judgment day, not me.

Re: Sunnah Way...

another veiw abt this topic..

**Ibn Daqiq al-'Id does not negate to start with the right hand, in general, but he negates the order among fingers (hand or leg), since the Prophetic Hadith states: "The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) likes and prefers starting from right (hand/leg) side while wearing his shoes, combines, bathing, making Wudu and even in all his matters". [Reported by Imams Bukhari and Muslim]

A reputable Muhaddith, Allamah Nawawi (R.A) who is also the commentator of Sahihul Muslim, has regarded the clipping of nails in sequence as Mustahab.

On the other hand majority of the Ulama and Fuqaha (Jurists) are of the view that it is not Mustahab to observe any particular sequence in clipping ones nails and whomsoever claims otherwise should present sufficient and authentic substantiation.

However, Allamah Ibne Hajar ?Asqalani (R.A.A.), an illustrious and reputable scholar of Hadith and also the author of Fathul Bari, the commentary of the most authentic book of Hadith; Sahihul Bukhari, presents another interpretation in the light of Hadith to prove that cutting ones nails in sequence is at least recommended, if not Mustahab. He mentions the Hadith of Aisha (R.A.) in which she says that: ?Nabi (S.A.W.) liked to choose the right in his issues of Taharat (purity and cleanliness) and Tarajjul (combing his hair) and likewise in all his affairs.? From this Hadith we conclude that it is recommended (not Mustahab) to observe the sequence in clipping the nails and start from the right hand. Allamah Ibne Hajar (R.A.) also explains that to start clipping from the Musabbihah (better known as the Tashahhud finger (index finger) of the right hand is because of its virtue over the other fingers. As far as observing the sequence of the remaining fingers is concerned it is because they start from the right of the index finger and as mentioned by Aisha (R.A.), Nabi (S.A.W.) always preferred the right side. (Bukhari,Vol.2,Page.875, Fathul Bari,Vol.10,Page.345, Muslim,Vol.2,Page129, Raddul Muhtar,Vol.5,Page.288, Al-Mughni Li Ibni Qudamah,Vol.1,Page.118-119)
