[20:12] , for the Jurists are of two groups claiming that these were (made) from dead skin’. فقال (عليه السلام): «من قال ذلك فقد افترى على موسى (عليه السلام)، و استجهله في نبوته، لأنه ما خلا الأمر فيها من خصلتين: إما أن تكون صلاة موسى فيها جائزة أو غير جائزة، فإن كانت صلاته جائزة، جاز له لبسها في تلك البقعة إذ لم تكن مقدسة، و إن كانت مقدسة مطهرة، فليست بأقدس و أطهر من الصلاة So, he -asws said: ‘The one who says that, so he has forged (a lie) against Musa -as and considered him -as to be ignorant in his -as Prophet-hood, because apart from the Command with regards to it, it has two characteristics.

Either the Salat of Musa -as was allowed or not allowed. So, if his -as Salat was allowed, then it would be allowed for him -as to wear these in a spot which is not Holy. And if it was Holy, Pure, then it was not Holier and Purer than the Salat (itself).

و إن كانت صلاته غير جائزة فيها، فقد أوجب على موسى (عليه السلام) أنه لم يعرف الحلال من الحرام، و ما علم ما تجوز فيه الصلاة و ما لم تجز، و هذا كفر And if his -as Salat was not allowed therein, so it would be more than Obligated upon Musa -as that he -as should recognise the Permissible and the Prohibited, and (how come) he -as did not know what is allowed in the Salat and what is not allowed? And this is Kufr’.

I -as am sincere in my -as love for You -azwj , and have washed my -as heart from everyone else apart from You -azwj ’ – and he -as (also) had intense love for his -as wife – so Allah -azwj Blessed and Exalted Said: therefore remove your slippers! [20:12] [20:12] , i.e., remove the love for your -as wife from your -as heart if you -as have sincere love for Me -azwj , and wash away the inclination from your -as heart apart from (inclination for) Me -azwj ’.
