[/code] :oNever heard this before... can anyone shed some light on this? |

| as salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah, There is a minority opinion among scholars that gold jewelry is not permissible for women, based on this text and others. There is also an opinion that states that circular-shaped jewelry is not permissible, due to some texts that refer specifically to that. However, these are minority opinions, and the *vast majority* of scholars say that, for women, gold jewelry, both circular or non-circular, is okay. I think they say this because the texts that forbid the wearing of gold jewelry are relatively weak, while there are other texts that supercede them (in strength of authenticity) and clarify them. I ain't no faqih though, and don't really know the specifics of the daleel used to derive these rulings. And I'm not one to cut and paste fatawa.. but if you do a quick search on yahoo or google, you'll most likely find some works that discuss and elaborate on this further. Also.. this is a really good example of why it's not a good idea for us to think that if we read a hadeeth on something, we know the whole story about an issue. We really need to look at all the texts on a particular issue, their strength, context, circumstances, implications, and their interpretation by those of knowledge, etc in order to understand the ruling/s that can be derived from it. w'Allahu a'lam. wasalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah :-) |

as salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah, you can find the text about shaytan here: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/054.sbt.html [i]Volume 4, Book 54, Number 492: Narrated 'Abdullah: It was mentioned before the Prophet that there was a man who slept the night till morning (after sunrise). The Prophet said, "He is a man in whose ears (or ear) Satan had urinated." [/i] wasalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah |

| [slm] Jazak Allahu Khirun. :o Amazing.. I did the search in the same link and did not find this hadith. This is not the hadith I am looking for. It is like a three step proccess. " If you don't do this, then the shaytaan does... If you don't do this then the shayton does.... Something about the neck.... |

| As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah, Kathy Are you thinking of this one? --------------------------------------- From Malik's Muwatta, Book 9, Number 9.25.98: Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, [i]"Shaytaan ties three knots at the back of your head when you sleep, and he seals the place of each knot with 'You have a long night ahead, so sleep.' If you wake up and remember Allah, a knot is untied. If you do wudu, a knot is untied. If you pray, a knot is untied, and morning finds you lively and in good spirits, and if not, morning finds you in bad spirits and lazy." [/i] |

| [slm] Ukthi...I posted this recently on the Tazkiyah thread: The Enemy ties the Knot around you....... Concerning this point, Satan has many ways and means. It is recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "During your sleep, Satan ties three knots at the back of your Necks. He breathes the following into them, 'The night is long so keep on sleeping.' If the person wakes and praises Allah, then one of the knots is unfastened. And if he performs ablution, the second knot is unfastened. When he prays, all of the knots are unfastened. After that he will be energetic and happy in the morning. Otherwise he would get up listless and grouchy." It is also recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim that he said, When one of you rises from your sleep he should make ablution. He should rinse his nose three times. For Satan stays in the upper part of one's nose during the night." Al-Bukhari also records that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked about a man who sleeps until the morning comes, that is, after the time of the dawn prayer. He said, "That is a man whom Satan has urinated into his two ears." What we have mentioned is from among the ways that Satan hinders the human from doing some actions. He also whispers into the human a love for laziness, postponing or procrastinating actions and thinking about what a long period of time one has for such and such action or work. Ibn al-Jauzi has written on this topic, stating, Iblees always hinders one. He says to a person, "Do not be hasty. Look closer into the matter." In the same way the one who is disobedient to Allah postpones his repentance. He sets his sights on his desires and he hopes he will repent later. But, as the poet said, "Do not rush to perform the sins you desire and think about the period of repentance beforehand." How many are determined to do something and then they postpone it. Perhaps a scholar is determined to return to his study. Satan says, "Rest for a while." Or a servant is alerted to the prayer at night and he says to him, "You have plenty of time." He will not stop making people love laziness and postponing of actions and he makes the person rely on hopes and dreams. It is necessary for the energetic person to take matters into his own hand and act upon his energy. The energetic finds the time to do things and does not procrastinate and he turns away from just dreaming. The one who has a real fear of Allah does not feel safe of punishment. The soul never stops in its dispute about evil and facing the good. But it always expects that it will have plenty of time to complete the good. One of the early scholars said, "Beware of procrastinating. It is the greatest of the soldiers of Satan." The serious, non-procrastinating person and the one who rests on his hopes and puts off working are like two who are passing through a city while journeying. The serious, energetic one buys his provisions early and waits for his traveling out of the city. The procrastinator says, "I will wait, as perhaps we will stay here a month," and continues to put off buying his provisions and preparing for his departure, until the last minute wherein he becomes rushed and mistake prone. This is how people are in this world. Some of them are prepared and alert. When the angel of death comes, he is not sorrowful. Others are deceived by thinking they can procrastinate and they will despair when the time to move on comes. It is part of one’s nature to love laziness and dreams but then Iblees comes and builds upon that. This makes it difficult to struggle against him in that matter. But the one who is alert knows that he is in the middle of a battle. He knows that his enemy does not rest. And if it seems that he is resting, it is actually just part of his strategy… Ibn al-Jauzi, Talbees Iblees, p. 458 Courtesy: www.everymuslim.com Pray this helps inshaAllah. As for women wearing gold...as sister Se7en rightly said, the majority view is that gold is permissible for women...however, they shouldnt display it in a way that could be seen as pride. wAllahu a'lam.
