misery and trouble has resulted from this, and that fact that the Sharee'ah counts the eye of the one who spies as worthless is sufficient proof of the seriousness of the matter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever looks into somebody's house without their permission, it is permissible for them to put out his eye." (Reported by Muslim, 3/1699). According to another report, he said: "Put out his eye, and there will be no penalty or retribution." (Reported by Imam Ahmad, 2/385; see also Sahih Al-Jami', 6022).
Two people conversing privately to the exclusion of a third
This is one of the problems that exist in social gatherings, and it is one of the ways in which Shaytaan divides the Muslims and makes some of them hate others. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) explained the rule and the wisdom behind it: "If you are three, then two should not converse privately to the exclusion of a third until you are joined by other people, because this will make him sad." (Reported by Al- Bukhari, see Fath Al-Bari, 11/83). This also includes three people talking privately to the exclusion of a fourth, and so on, and two people speaking in a language which the third does not understand, because this is undoubtedly a form of disdain towards the third, and gives the impression that they intend to hurt him, etc.
Isbaal - wearing clothes that come down below the ankles
One of the things which people treat as insignificant, although it is serious in the sight of Allah, is Isbaal, which means lengthening one's clothes below the ankles; some people let their clothes touch the ground, and some allow them to drag on the floor behind them.
Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There are three to whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor look at nor praise: the one who wears his lower garment below the ankles; the one who reminds others of his gifts or favors; and the one who sells his product by means of lies and false oaths." (Reported by Muslim, 1/102).
The one who says, "I am not wearing my clothes below my ankles out of arrogance" is in fact praising himself in a way that is unacceptable. The warning against Isbaal is issued to all, regardless of whether they do it out of arrogance or not, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whatever part of the lower garment is below the ankles is in Hell." (Reported by Imam Ahmad, 6/254; see also Sahih Al-Jami', 5571).
The person whose Isbaal is the result of arrogance will be more severely punished than the one who has no such intention, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever trails his garment out of pride, Allah will not even look at him on the Day of Resurrection." (Reported by Al-Bukhari, no. 3465, Al-Bagha edition) - this is because he is combining two sins in one action.
Wearing any clothes below the ankle is haram, as is indicated in the hadith reported by Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father): "Isbaal may be done with an izaar (lower garment), qamees (shirt or upper garment) and 'amaamah (turban); whoever drags any part of them on the ground out of pride, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection." (Reported by Abu Dawood, 4/353; see also Sahih Al- Jami',
