Why we don't Attach Our Feet in Salaah, by Shaikh Muhammad al 'Aqeel

quote:
...and from it is the saying of Anas, radiallaahu 'anhu, in a Sunnah from the Sunan of Salaat, and it is the spacing in the Salaat: that a Muslim stands beside his Muslim brother and attaches his feet, knees and shoulders to his brother without being excessive or negligent, as was legislated by the Messenger - salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam - who said:

quote:
You will straighten your lines or Allaah will separate between your hearts or faces.
  

This is why when the hearts have become separated during this time, so did the feet. Why is it that we can't attach our feet to each other's feet? It is because our hearts are detached from one another; if our hearts were attached to one another, our feet would also be attached. This is why if a person who loves you and whom you love were to put his foot over yours, you would not get upset, you would not say; 'why is he bothering me.' This is because your heart loves him. But because there is a detachment between you and him, you cannot stand that he attaches his foot to yours let alone that he puts his foot over yours.

This is why Anas, radiallaahu 'anhu, when he describes his state at the time of the Messenger of Allaah - salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam - and his state after that, he said:
quote:
At the time of the Messenger - salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam - we would attach our feet to our brother's feet, and our knees to our brother's knees, and our shoulders to our brother's shoulders, in obedience to the Messenger's orders - salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. But if we were to do so today, he [the person next to us] would escape like an obstinate mule.
  

By Allaah, I saw with my own eyes here in Madeenah, a man wanted to attach his foot to his brother's foot, by Allaah his brother cut his Salaat, he cut his Salaat and left the whole first line and went to the second line. He left the first line to escape this Sunnah, and the cause of this is ignorance, may Allaah preserve you. This is why we must teach the people the Sunnah of the Prophet - salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam - because people are enemies to what they are ignorant of.
  


Subhanak Allaahuma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlaa illaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk  

If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah (subhanahu wa taa'ala), and if I erred, then that is from me and shaytan.
