FORTY TRADITIONAL PRACTICES OF THE HOLY PROPHET(PBUH)

2.When "One" intends meeting any Islamic brother then extending him salutations/sending "one's" compliments to him is the (sacred) traditional practice of the Prophet

3.Shaking of hands becomes the traditional practice of the Prophet only when after the two Islamic brothers have met they extend salutations/send compliments to each other first and then shake hands.

4.The traditional practice of the Prophet's at the time of shaking of hands being that no handkerchief etc. stands in the way; both side hands are empty and the palm should join/embrace the palm.


5.To talk/converse smilingly and cheerfully is the (sacred) traditional practice of the Prophet


6.To talk screamingly / shriekingly as friends are prone to do these days in frankness / informality between themselves is against the sacred tradition of the Prophet


7.For the "One" who sneezes to say "AL-HAMDU-LILLAH" (All praise (s) being for Allah " is acting according to the traditional practice of the Prophet . It is better/preferable that "AL-HAMDU-LILLAH-I-RABBIL AALAMEEN" (All praise(s) being for Allah who (alone) is the cherisher/sustainer of all the universe (eighteen hundred or eighteen thousand) is said (uttered). For the one who hears (the sound of) sneeze, it is expedient/proper that be says immediately "YERHAMUKALLAH" (that is to say that Allah (may) show mercy to you); And he should say these words so loudly that the one who sneezed is able to listen of his own-self. If the "one" answering the "Sneeze" causes delay (in uttering the words "YERHAMUKALLAH" he shall be regarded sinful, and could not be absolved of the sin merely by the late answer to the "sneeze"; Rather along with that penitence in the courts of Allah shall have to be caused (mandatorily) (BAHARE-SHARIAT)


8.After hearing the answer to his sneeze the "One" who sneezed is to say "YAGHFIRULLAHU-LANAA WALAKUM" (May Allah cause yours/and ours forgiveness) or says this (YAHDEEKUM-ULLAHU WA-YUSLIHU BAALAKUM) (May Allah show you the path of righteousness and cause your reformation)
