ما الذي يجعل الناس يقفون سواءً أمام الله؟
في السنة العاشرة للهجرة أعلن النبي ﷺ أنه سيحج. فجاء المسلمون من جهات كثيرة ليحجوا معه ويتعلموا منه صفة الحج.
أحرم النبي ﷺ من ذي الحليفة، ولبس الحجاج لباس الإحرام. في هذا المشهد لا قيمة لمال أو منصب؛ فالناس يقفون لعبادة رب واحد، ويلبون نداءه.
خرج النبي ﷺ للحج ومعه جموع من المسلمين، وأحرموا من ذي الحليفة.
كيف يساعدنا اللباس البسيط على تذكر أن الناس متساوون؟
تذكر اليوم أن تعامل كل شخص باحترام، مهما اختلف عنك.
لو الناس كلها لابسة زيّ واحد، إيه اللي هيفرّق بينهم ساعتها؟
المصادر: صحيح مسلم، حديث جابر رضي الله عنه في صفة حج النبي ﷺ.؛ القرآن الكريم: سورة الحج 22:27.
In the tenth year the Prophet ﷺ announced that he would make the pilgrimage, and people came out with him from every direction until they were beyond counting. He entered the state of pilgrimage at Dhu al-Hulayfah in two white cloths, and everyone dressed as he did, so you could no longer tell the rich from the poor. And their voices rose: here I am, O Allah, here I am.
Before Allah, people stand as equals.
In Dhu al-Qi'dah of the tenth year after the migration, the Prophet ﷺ announced that he was going for the pilgrimage. As soon as word reached the tribes they came out of every valley wanting to make the pilgrimage with him and to see how he did it, until an enormous crowd had gathered — historians estimate more than a hundred thousand. At Dhu al-Hulayfah the Prophet ﷺ entered ihram: he took off his sewn clothes and put on a plain white lower garment and cloak with no ornament on them, and every person there dressed as he had. You could no longer tell a commander from a shepherd or a rich man from a poor one: two white cloths, and one sentence repeated by a hundred thousand throats — “Here I am, O Allah, here I am; here I am, You have no partner, here I am.” That is how the pilgrimage begins: everyone leaves what divides them at the first stop.
Allah says: ﴿وَأَذِّن فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا﴾ — “And proclaim the pilgrimage to the people; they will come to you on foot.”
