Book Name:Jawani Main Ibadat kay fazail

1.         It is stated on page 78 of Bahar-e-Shari’at, part 16 the 312-page book published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami: The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘A man wearing two shawls was strutting [i.e. walking haughtily]. He was sunk into the ground and he will continue to sink until the Day of Judgement. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 1156, Hadees 2088)

2.         The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم sometimes used to hold the hand of his companion in his blessed hand while walking.

(Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 7, pp. 277)

3.         When the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم walked, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would lean a little bit forward as though he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was descending from a height. (Shumaail-ut-Tirmizi, pp. 87, Hadees 118)

4.         Never walk with pride, wearing a chain of gold or any other metal, with the front buttons [of the shirt] open as if to show off. This is the style of the unwise, arrogant and transgressors. It is Haraam for men to wear a gold chain around the neck. Wearing other metallic chains is also not permissible.

5.         If there is no hindrance, walk on the side of the pathway at a medium pace. Neither walk so fast that people start looking at you in astonishment, nor walk too slowly that people consider you to be ill. One should not hold the hand of any Amrad. Holding the hand of any Islamic brother or shaking hands with him or hugging him with lust is a Haram act leading to the hellfire.

6.         It is not Sunnah to look here and there (unnecessarily) while walking. Walk in a dignified manner with your gaze lowered. Sayyiduna Hasan Bin Abi Sinaan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْـحَـنَّان went to offer Eid Salah. When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه came back home, his wife asked him: How many women did you see? He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه remained silent. When she insisted, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘I kept looking towards my toes from exiting home till returning to you.’
