Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was divinely protected by Allah Ta\u2018ala from committing shirk, kufr or any type of sin, even prior to receiving nubuwwah. Even acts that were not considered as shameful acts and deeds among the people, but were not in keeping with respect, shame and dignity, Allah Ta\u2018ala also protected Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) from such acts and deeds.<\/p>\n
This was on account of the fact that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was to be blessed with the highest rank and position in the world, not just being the Rasul and Nabi of this ummah, but also the Imaam of all the Rasuls and Ambiyaa who came in the world.<\/p>\n
Hence, Allah Ta\u2018ala chose the best for his Nabi and granted him the highest degree of sublime conduct, nobility, respect and hayaa.<\/p>\n
It is recorded in Saheeh Bukhaari and Saheeh Muslim (rahimahullah) that Hazrat Jaabir (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) said that during the reconstruction of the Holy Ka\u2019bah, which occurred five years prior to Rasulullah [sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam] being bestowed with nubuwwah, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) also assisted in the construction by carrying boulders to the site.<\/p>\n
While Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was carrying the boulders, his uncle, Hazrat Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), advised him saying, \u201cSon! Undo your lower garment and place it on your shoulder so that your shoulder will be protected from being abraded by the boulders.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the advice of his uncle, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) then began to open his lower garment, and as soon as he opened it, he immediately fell on the ground unconscious.\u00a0(Saheeh Bukhaari #3829 & Saheeh Muslim #340)<\/em><\/p>\n It is narrated from Abu Tufail that at the time when Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) fell unconscious, he heard a voice from the unseen saying, \u201cO Muhammed (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)! Cover your satr!\u201d This was the first voice from the unseen that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) heard before nubuwwah.\u00a0(Dalaa\u2019ilun Nubuwwah lil-Bayhaqi 2\/54, Majma\u2019uz Zawaa\u2019id #5730, Khasaa\u2019is Kubra 1\/149)<\/em><\/p>\n According to the narration of Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma), after this incident transpired, Abu Taalib asked Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) what had happened to him. Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) replied, \u201cA person dressed in white clothing appeared and said to me, \u2018O Muhammed (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)! Conceal your satr!\u2019\u201d\u00a0(Mustadrak Haakim #7356, Khasaa\u2019is Kubra 1\/149)<\/em><\/p>\n Prior to the advent of Islam, the Arabs would not consider it immoral to remove one\u2019s clothes before people. It is for this reason that they used to perform tawaaf naked, as they regarded it improper to perform tawaaf with the clothes in which they had sinned. However, the Quraish were always considered to be people of honour and dignity, and at the time of tawaaf, they never removed their clothes. Rather, they made tawaaf with their clothes on. If a non-Quraishi wanted to make tawaaf with clothes, he would borrow clothes from the Quraish and then perform tawaaf.<\/p>\n Hazrat Urwah (rahimahullah) reports, \u201cDuring the days of Jaahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic era), people would perform tawaaf of the Ka\u2019bah naked \u2013 except for the Hums. The Hums referred to the Quraish and those born to the Quraish clan. The Quraish would give their clothes to people (who wanted to perform tawaaf with clothes), as a good deed, seeking reward from Allah Ta\u2018ala. \u00a0The men of the Quraish would give clothing to other men to perform tawaaf, and the women of the Quraish would give clothing to other women to perform tawaaf. The person who did not get clothing from the Quraish to wear would perform tawaaf naked.\u00a0(Saheeh Bukhaari #1665, Mirqaat 5\/1788)<\/em><\/p>\n In regard to this incident, the narration quoted by Imaam Bayhaqi in Dalaa\u2019il-un-Nubuwwah mentions that Hazrat Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) would remove his clothes to carry the boulders, but before coming to the place where people were present, he would again wear his clothes and then appear before them, carrying the boulders. Hazrat Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) asked Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) to also remove his lower garment as he was doing, and before reaching the place where people were present, he should once again wear his lower garment. When Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) complied with the instruction of his uncle, he had fallen to the ground unconscious, while his sight was raised to the sky. (Fat-hul Baari 3\/499)<\/em><\/p>\n From this narration, we understand that apart from Hazrat Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu), other people were not present at the time when Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) removed his lower garment, and hence they did not see the satar of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) being exposed.<\/p>\n However, Allah Ta\u2018ala did not want this for His beloved Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), as this was not in keeping to the standard of shame, modesty and dignity. Hence, Allah Ta\u2018ala caused Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) to fall unconscious at that time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was divinely protected by Allah Ta\u2018ala from committing shirk, kufr or any type of sin, even prior to receiving nubuwwah.
