What type of hadith is the one describing how the believer and the wicked person see their sins, and how authentic is the gesture the narrator mentioned?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The saying and action of a Companion are called "Mawquf" (stopped). The aforementioned has been narrated from Ibn Mas'ud as both Mawquf and Marfu' (elevated, attributed to the Prophet). The narrator's gesturing with his hand above his nose is a clarification of his action, meaning to ward off flies from his face. This is known as "Al-Musalsal" if the gesture was transmitted from Ibn Mas'ud through the chain of narrators.
