O the devotees of Rasool! Let’s listen to some Madani pearls of clipping nails from the booklet ‘101 Madani Phool’, written by Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه:
٭ It is Mustahab to clip nails on Friday. However, one should not wait for Friday if the nails have grown long. (Durr-e-Mukhtar, vol. 9, pp. 668)
٭ A legendary and leading scholar of Shari’ah and Tareeqah, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Amjad ‘Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَيْـه has said: It is narrated that whosoever clips his nails on Friday, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will protect him from calamities till the next Friday and for three days thereafter, that is, for 10 days. (Mirqat-ul-Mafatih, vol. 8, pp. 212, Hadees 4422)
In one narration, it is stated that whosoever clips his nails on Friday, mercy will be showered [upon him] and [his] sins will be removed. (Durr-e-Mukhtar, Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 668)
٭ Following is summary of the narrated method of cutting nails: Begin with the index finger of the right hand and cut your nails in order up to the little finger; but do not cut your thumb nail. Now, beginning with the little finger of the left hand, cut your nails in order including that of the thumb. In the end, cut the nail of the right thumb.
