Thus he -as felt secure...

Thus he -as felt secure, and placed his -as feet upon its tail and grabbed its neck, and it was (became) his -as hand upon his -as staff, for it had reverted back to be a staff. And He -azwj Said to him -as : Surely I am your Lord, therefore remove your slippers! You are in the Holy valley of Tuwa! [20:12] ’.

And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Hatim Al Nowfaly Al Ma’rouf At Al karmany, from Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Isa Al Washa Al Baghdady, from Ahmad Bin Tahir Al Qummi, from Muhammad Bin Bahr Bin Sahl Al Sahybani, from Ahmad Bin masrour, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah Al Qummi, (It has been narrated) from Al-Qaim Al-Hujjat -asws – in a lengthy Hadeeth including many issues, (the narrator) said, ‘So inform me, O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww , about the Command of Allah -azwj the Exalted: to His -azwj Prophet -as Musa -as : Surely I am your Lord, therefore remove your slippers!

You are in the Holy valley of Tuwa! [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 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).
