Nafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him), who was the freed slave of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), says: Once, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was walking along a road when the sound of a shepherd’s singing and musical instrument reached his ears. He put his fingers in his ears and left that path, and at intervals he kept asking me,“Nafi’, can you still hear the sound?”If I replied“yes,”he kept walking, until when I said“no,”he removed his hands from his ears and brought his mount back onto the road. He then said,“I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do the same when he heard the sound of a shepherd’s singing and musical instrument.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any one of you eats, he should eat with his right hand, and when he drinks, he should drink with his right hand, for indeed Satan eats and drinks with his left hand."

What clothing can a person in the state of ihram wear?" Or he asked: "What clothing should a person in ihram avoid?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He cannot wear a shirt, trousers, turban, or leather socks, except if he does not find shoes. Whoever does not find shoes should cut the leather socks below the ankles and wear them. Likewise, a cap or any garment that has been touched by wars (a kind of grass) or saffron, the person in ihram should not wear that either."

However, between the two prostrations, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his hands.
