In the room of Hadhrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (rahimahullah) there was a place for hanging old clothes. Sometimes others were asked to hang the old clothes over there, but Hadhrat (rahimahullah) would caution them to check if there was any kitaab kept on the desk beneath it. Mistakenly, the old clothes should not be kept higher than the kitaabs (resulting in disrespect of the kitaab). (Malfoozaat of Faqeeh-ul-Ummat Vol 2 Pg 406)
