Chapter Eleven: <strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> of the $iifis<br />

out of their own opinions? If they knew that what they did was<br />

wrong then they are stubborn. Otherwise they are extremely ignorant.<br />

Section Eight:<br />

Excessive Shortening of Clothes (in length)<br />

Some ufis shorten the length of their clothes excessively. This is<br />

a form of seeking fame. Allah's Messenger (:i) said: "A Muslim's<br />

garment is to the middle of the shins. And there is no harm (in the<br />

dress being longer than that) up to the ankles. And whatever is longer<br />

than that is in the hellfire"180<br />

Ma'mar said: Ayyiib's garment was a bit long; He was asked about<br />

it and said: "<strong>The</strong>se days, shortening the garment brings fame."<br />

And Al:imad <strong>Ibn</strong> I:lanbal once saw a man wearing a garment that<br />

was just below his knee but above the shin. He said: "What is this?!<br />

This ought not to be like this at all."<br />

Section Nine:<br />

Some $iijis wear a Rag on their Heads in place of a<br />

Turban<br />

This is a form of seeking fame because it is inconsistent with what<br />

people in the society wear. All that brings fame is disliked.<br />

'Abdullah <strong>Ibn</strong> al-Mubarak entered the magid wearing a hood.<br />

Nobody else was wearing one, and they all started to stare at him.<br />

So he took it off and put it in his sleeve.<br />
