Allah reminds His servants that He has given them Libas and Rish. Libas
refers to the clothes that are used to cover the private parts, while Rish
refers to the outer adornments used for purposes of beautification. Therefore,
the first type is essential while the second type is complimentary. Ibn Jarir
said that Rish includes furniture and outer clothes. `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin
Aslam commented on the Ayah,
[وَلِبَاسُ
التَّقْوَى]
(and the Libas (raiment) of Taqwa...) "When one fears Allah, Allah covers his
errors. Hence the `Libas of Taqwa' (that the Ayah mentions).''
[يَـبَنِى آدَمَ لاَ
يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَـنُ كَمَآ أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ
عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءَتِهِمَآ إِنَّهُ يَرَاكُمْ هُوَ
وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ تَرَوْنَهُمْ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيَـطِينَ
أَوْلِيَآءَ لِلَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ ]
(27. O Children of Adam! Let not Shaytan deceive you, as he got your parents
out of Paradise, stripping them of their raiment, to show them their private
parts. Verily, he and his tribe see you from where you cannot see them. Verily,
We made the Shayatin friends of those who believe not.)
