Online version of " The Crown of the Believer " a book related to the virtue of topi

[Yahya Bhai]

Assalamu alaikum

Where can we get the online version of the book " The crown of believers"?

It is related to the virtues of topi.

Please post the link.
On a side note a friend oof mine says that topi is a part of arabic culture and not sunnah.
What is the reply for such a claim?:confused:

قال أبو داود سننه - (ج 4 / ص 95)

4080 - حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد الثقفى حدثنا محمد بن ربيعة حدثنا أبو الحسن العسقلانى عن أبى جعفر بن محمد بن على بن ركانة عن أبيه أن ركانة صارع النبى -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فصرعه النبى -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قال ركانة وسمعت النبى -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يقول « فرق ما بيننا وبين المشركين العمائم على القلانس ».(رواه ابو داود، و الحاكم في « المستدرك (3 / 511). و ان كنت تريد البحث في السند فانظر لزاما « بذل المجهود »(6 / 401) و « تحفة الأشراف » (3 / 174)

Covering the head when answering the call of nature was from amongst the practices of Nabi (Sallahu alaihi Wasallam)

`Âishah (Radhiallahu Anha) narrates that when Nabî (Sallahu alaihi Wasallam) entered the toilet he would cover his head.

(Sunanul Kubra of Baihaqi Vol.1 Pg.96, Kitabul Mu'jam hadith no. 1085, Hilyatul Awliyaa Vol.7 Pg.158)



Habîb Ibn Sâlih Rahimahullah reports that when Nabî (Sallahu alaihi Wasallam) entered the toilet, he would wear shoes and cover his head. ( Sunanul Kubra of Baihaqi Vol.1 Pg.96, Almajmoo Vol. 2 Pg.113)



It was also the practice of the Sahabah (Radhiallahu Anhum).

`Âishah (Radhiallahu Anha) narrates that Abû Bakr (Radhiallahu Anhu) said: “Show respect in front of Allah, for I certainly cover my head when entering the toilet, due to respect for Allah Ta'ala.” ((Sunanul Kubra of Baihaqi Vol.1 Pg.96)

Covering the head with a topî when entering the toilet has also been narrated from:

Anas Ibn Mâlik (RadhiallahuAnhu) (Abdur Razzaaq Vol.1 Pg.190)

Abû Mûsâ Ash`arî (Radhiallahu Anhu) (Ibn Abi shaibah Vol.1 Pg.34)



A highly authentic narration of Sahîhul Bukhârî also shows that covering the head while answering the call of nature was a norm in the time of the Sahabah . (Bukhari Hadith No.577)



`Allâmah Munâwî writes in his famous commentary ‘Faidhul Qadîr’ (Hadîth no.6667), explaining the reason for Nabî (Sallahu alaihi Wasallam) covering his head upon entering the toilet:

“It was done out of respect for Allâh and because covering the head when answering the call of nature causes the pores to contract thereby allowing quicker emerging of faeces. It also prevents the bad smell of the toilet from getting onto the hair. The `Ulamâ of Tasawwuf maintain that it is necessary for a person to be respectful, shy and concealed when answering the call of nature.”



Allamah Dimiri writes that it is preferred for a person to cover his head when entering the toilet and he should not leave it uncovered, even if he has cover it with his sleeve. This is for protection from the jinn. (Mawahibul Jaleel Vol.1 Pg.270)



Allamah Shaami, Imam Ghazaali, Ubbi, Ibn Arafah, Ibnul Haaj, Imamul haramain, Baghawi, Khalil, Dasooqi (Rahimhumallah) have all mentioned that a person should not enter the toilet with the head uncovered. Some say that in addition to wearing a topi, one should also wear a sharf or shawl in order to prevent the smell from getting onto the hair, while others mentions that that this just an added benefit of covering the head, the main reason is out of respect for Allah Ta'ala.

(Al-wasit Vol.1 Pg.298 , Mawahibul Jaleel Vol.1 Pg. 270, Raddul Muhtaar Vol.1 Pg.245, Al-Majmoo' Vol.2 Pg.113, Dasooqi alash sharh Kabir Vol.1 Pg.106)

Assalamualaykom.


What does" enterd " the toilet mean? Did they have a toilet during those days?

probably they hadn´t toilet like we have, but they also didn´t use to seat under the open sky!

[truesalafi]

Assalamualaykom.


It is not allowed to defecate under the shadow of a tree. The prophet ( alayhis salam) used to walk out of the human population area and relieved himself surrounded by bush/ small plants.

i didn´t mean tree, but just a place which is surrround by a barrier or hence. and didn´t prophet mohammad(sw) or his wife(rd)had a toilet which is not only surround by bush or plent, but a well covered toilet like now a days?

[truesalafi]

Assalamulaykom.

That is what I asked in my first post !

As per my little study , prophet did not have an enclosed / surrounded toilet and he used to walk away from human population and relieved in an area surrounded by small plamts.

May be Mufti sahab can help us.

[suhailp]

Yes they had toilets in the time of Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

Ibn Umar Ra said:

One day I climbed onto the house of Hafsah and I saw the Rasool sallallahu alaihi wa sallam relieving himself facing shaam and backing the Kabah. Tirmith 11.

The wording in Saheeh Bukhari 145 is as follows: One day I climbed onto one of our houses and I saw the Rasool sallallahu alaihi wa sallam relieving himself on bricks facing Baitul Maqdis.

Some scholars use this Hadith as evidence in allowing the backing of Qiblah at the time of relieving one's self in an enclosed place.

A more precise narration is found in the saheeh narration of Hakeem Tirmithi as mentioned by Hafith Ibn Hajr in Fathul Baari 1/329:
فرايته في كنيف I saw him in a Kaneef (toilet)

Abu Ayyoob al Ansaari said Rasool sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said When you come to the toilet then do not face the Qiblah while excreating or urinating and do not back rather face the East or West. (NB. Madinah was to the North of Makkah thats why he sad East or West) Abu Ayyub said: when we came to Shaam we found the Maraahidh (toilets) built facing the Qiblah. Tirmithi 8 and he said Abu Ayyub's Hadith is the most Authentic one on this topic.

Nawawi states that Maraahidh المراحيض is the room built for the call of nature. (Tahfatul Ahwathi 1/35)

Isnt there a Dua before entering the toilet. It is for toilets as well as if one uses the bush (cane fields) then before taking off his trousers. As explained By Hafith Ibn hajr Asqalani. (Tahfatul Ahwathi 1/36) The same will apply to the covering of the head.

[Yahya Bhai]

we are wating for the book

[Kantz]

we are wating for the book

Salam bro,

I got mine from Albalagh bookstore. I remember when I received the book among others, I was looking at the author name and after reading the book I was smiling. Naturally this book helped me to understand why some brothers in our masjid were putting on 'kopiah'

It makes me smile when I saw brothers who did not have one on their heads....you know why? ....on page 13...it was narrated by Bishr Hafi "If a topi had to fall from the sky, it would fall onto the head who doesn't want it! :D

Wassalam.

[Abu Nafeesa]

Does this rule apply to all situations or only when entering the toilet. Is there any sin if one prays without covering ur head?

Does the same rule apply to woman entering the toilet

It was also the practice of the Sahabah (Radhiallahu Anhum).

:salam: to the muftis,

could I have the narrations that show Anas bin Maalik and abu musa al ash'ari did this with their authenticity, as well as the narration from bukhariy?

It is for muslims who are not at all aware of these kinds of sunnah, and are quick to call bid'a whatever their [salafi] shuyukh did not come across.

Jazaakumullahu kheyran.

As-salamu alaikum,

This is one of my favorite books. I was perusing through it the other day. It helped me become consistent in wearing a kufi. May Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) grant the author tawfeeq. Ameen.

Jazakallahu khairan brother.

Just a question for all. The Fatwa of Imam Al Kawthari regarding the kufi, he mentions that another reason of praying with a kufi is because it will oppose the way the Chrisitians worship which is bare headed, but what if one was to say that Jews pray with a kufi(Kippah) as well?
