Kissing the hands of scholars/rulers?



Chapter on Kissing


Hadith#2.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Rufa’ah ibn Musa from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) who has said the following: “No one’s head or hand is kissed except those of the Messenger of Allah or one who is intended to be for the Messenger of Allah.”


Sheikh Mazandarani comments:

His saying: (or the one who is intended to be for the Messenger of Allāh ( ‘it is intended for his successors, and this is shown in the tradition that is following’


Hadith#3.

Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Zayd al-Narsi from Ali ibn Mazid Sahib al-Sabiri who has said the following: “Once I went to see abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) and I held and kissed his hand and the Imam said, ‘This is only for the Holy Prophet or his successors.’”


Sheikh Mazandarani comments:

His(as) saying: (As for that (kissing the hand), it is not correct except for the Prophet or the Successor of the Prophet), ‘it is apparent (from this) that it is impermissible to kiss the hand of other than those two.’



Hadith#5.

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from al-‘Amraki ibn Ali ibn Ja’far from abu al-Hassan (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever of the relatives kisses a relative out of compassion he has not committed any offense. A brother may kiss the cheek of his brother. Kissing an Imam is between his eyes.”


Sheikh Mazandarani comments:

His (as) saying: (whoever kisses his relative out of compassion) – it is for the compassion or for relation, and the kissing here, and it is in the general (sense), but it is desirable that he intends to kiss other than the hand of a man because of what has passed
