The Permissibility of Kissing the Thumbs
In Jannat, when Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) desired to meet the Holy Prophet ﷺ, then Allah Ta’ala sent Wahi (revelation) to him, “From your generation, he will become apparent in the later years”. Then Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) desired from Allah Ta ala to meet the Prophet ﷺ. Allah Ta ala showed him the Noor of the Holy Prophet ﷺ on the Shahadat finger of his right hand. The Noor recited the Tasbeeh of Allah Ta’ala. It is for this reason that this finger is known as the Kalima finger. Allah Ta’ala showed the beauty of the Holy Prophet ﷺ on both the thumbnails of Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) like a mirror. Then, Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) kissed both his thumbnails and turned them over his eyes.Thus, this Sunnah of Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) became consistent in his descendants. When Hazrat Jibraeel Ameen (alaihis salaam) informed Rasoolullah ﷺ of this, he said, “That person, who when hearing my name in Azaan, kisses his thumb nails and turns it over his eyes, he shall never go blind.” (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan)
Once, the Holy Prophet ﷺ entered the Masjid and sat down near a pillar. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (radi allahutala anhu) was seated beside him. Hazrat Bilal (radi allahutala anhu) then stood up and commenced with the Azaan. When he said: “Ash hadu Ana Muhammadur Rasoolullah”, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (radi allahutala anhu) placed both the thumb nails on to his eyes and said “Qurratu Aini bika Ya Rasoolallah” (Ya Rasoolallah! You are the coolness of my eyes). When Hazrat Bilal (radi allahutala anhu) completed the Azaan, the Holy Prophet ﷺ said, “O Abu Bakr! Whosoever does like you have done, Almighty Allah will forgive all his sins.” (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan)
Sayyiduna Imam Hassan (radi allahutala anhu) said, “Whosoever hears the Mu’azzin say ‘Ash Hadu Ana Muhammadur Rasoolullah’ and says, ‘Marhaba bi Habibi’ and ‘Quratu Aini Muhammad bin Abdullah’ and then kisses both thumbs and keeps it on his eyes, then he will never become blind and his eyes will never be sore.” (Maqaaside Husna)
Both the thumbs of the hands should be kissed and rubbed on the eyes and when the Mu azzin says: “Ash hadu Ana Muhammadur Rasoolulah” then say, “Ash Hadu Ana Muhammadan Abduhu wa Rasooluhu Raditu billahi Rabban Wa bi Islami Deenan wa Muhammadin Nabbiyan”. (Tahtaawi Shareef)
The Holy Prophet ﷺ said, “Whosoever has touched the name Muhammad with his hands, then kissed his hand with his lips and rubbed it on his eyes, then he sill see Allah Ta’ala just as the righteous ones see and my intercession will be close to him even though he is a sinner.” (An Nawafi ul Atri’aa)
kissing the thumbs and touching them with the eyes at the time of Azaan is Mustahab. It is the practice (Sunnah) of Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam), Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (radi allahutala anhu) and others.
Discussing the duas of the body parts in Wudhu, Allama Haskafi (ra) writes, “This Hadith is narrated by Ibn Hibban (ra), etc. through various Chains of Narration {isnaad).” – Durre-Mukhtaar, Vol. 1, Baabu Mustahabaatil-Wudhu .Allama Shaami (ra) states under this, “Some Chains of Narration strengthen others. Consequently, this Hadith has reached the rank of Hasan.”
Mulla Ali Qaari (ra) states, “I say that when this Hadith’s attribution (rafaa) is proven through Hadrat Siddique-Akbar (ra) it is sufficient for practice because Rasoolullahﷺ has said) “My Sunnah, as well as that of my Khulafaa, is necessary on you.” – MauzuaateKabeer. This means that the Hadith is Mauqoof Sahih, which is adequate when proving something.
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
