شَرْحُ رِيَاضِ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ كَلَامِ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

(from previous page) ⟵ It was extracted by Abu Dawud in the Book of Clothing, Chapter on the extent of the place of the izar, number (4094), and by Al-Nasa'i in the Book of Adornment, Chapter on the lengthening of the izar, number (5334), and by Ibn Majah in the Book of Clothing, Chapter on the length of the shirt, how much it is, number (5334) in the explanation of Riyad al-Salihin from the words of the Master of Messengers, may God bless him and grant him peace.

فَلَا حَرَجَ الْهَمَّ أَلَّا تُخَالِفَ لِبَاسَ أَهْلِ بَلَدِكَ فَتَقَعَ فِي الشُّهْرَةِ، وَقَدْ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ لِبَاسِ الشُّهْرَةِ (١).

There is no harm, rather, that you do not differ from the clothing of the people of your country, so that you do not fall into notoriety, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) has forbidden the clothing of notoriety (1).

وَفِي هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ - أَيْضًا - دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ كُمَّ الْقَمِيصِ يَكُونُ إِلَى الرُّسْغِ، وَالرُّسْغُ هُوَ الْوَسَطُ بَيْنَ الْكُوعِ وَالْكُرْسُوعِ؛ لِأَنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَهُ مِرْفَقٌ، وَهُوَ الْمَفْصِلُ الَّذِي بَيْنَ الْعَضُدِ وَالذِّرَاعِ، وَلَهُ كُوعٌ وَكُرْسُوعٌ وَرُسْغٌ، فَالْكُوعُ: هُوَ طَرَفُ الذِّرَاعِ مِمَّا يَلِي الْكَفَّ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْإِبْهَامِ، وَالْكُرْسُوعُ: طَرَفُ عَظْمِ الذِّرَاعِ مِمَّا يَلِي الْكَفَّ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْخِنْصَرِ، وَأَمَّا الرُّسْغُ فَهُوَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا، وَعَلَى هَذَا قَوْلُ النَّاظِمِ:

In these hadiths, there is also evidence that the sleeve of the shirt should be to the wrist, and the wrist is the middle between the 'ku' (the bone at the base of the thumb) and the 'kursu'' (the bone at the base of the little finger); because a human has an elbow, which is the joint between the upper arm and the forearm, and he has a 'ku'', a 'kursu'', and a wrist. The 'ku'' is the end of the forearm that is next to the palm on the side of the thumb, and the 'kursu'' is the end of the forearm bone that is next to the palm on the side of the little finger, and as for the wrist, it is what is between them, and upon this is the saying of the poet:
