hairshirt/coarse garment/cilice Explanation: وهكذا لبسوا المسوح من كبيرهم الي صغيرهم والمسموح ملابس خشنه من شعر الماعز… دليل علي التذلل وعلي الزهد ورفض... http://st-takla.org/Bibles/BibleSearch/search.php?q=ملابس ال... ويُروى عن عيسى عليه السلام أنّه قالَ :واللهِ إنّ لُبْسَ المُسُوحِ واستِفَافَ الرَّمادِ والنَّومَ على المزَابلِ كَثيرٌ على مَن يموتُ". هؤلاء الذينَ يَدّعُونَ الوِلايةَ ويَلتَزِمُونَ أَكلَ الأطعِمَةِ اللذيذَةِ والملابسَ الفَاخِرةِ بَعِيدُونَ مما يَدَّعُونَ ،لا يَكُونُ العَبدُ وَليّا إلا بزُهْدٍ،لُبسُ المُسُوحِ مَعناهُ هذا الشّعر شَعرُ البهَائم الذي لم تَدخُلْهُ صِنَاعَةٌ،هذا يَكونُ خَشِنًا،اليومَ هذا الصُّوفُ الذي نَلبَسُه دَخَلَتْه الصّنَاعَةُ،صَارَ قَريبًا مِنَ القُطْنِ،واستِفَافُ الرّمادِ هذا مَفهُومٌ،تَجرُّعُ الرّمادِ معَ الماء. http://www.alsunna.org/la-ykwan-aalebd-walyaa-ela-bzhd.html A hair shirt is a coarse garment which intended to be worn next to the skin, thus keeping the wearer in a state of discomfort and constant awareness of the shirt's presence. Such garments were traditionally worn by some Christian religious orders, along with individuals who felt penitent about certain actions or their lifestyles. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-hair-shirt.htm A cilice (pronounced /ˈsɪlɨs/) was originally a garment or undergarment made of coarse cloth or animal hair (a hairshirt) used in some religious traditions to induce some degree of discomfort or pain as a sign of repentance and atonement. In more modern religious circles, the word has come to simply mean any device worn for the same purposes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilice |
