T H E D E V I L ' S D E C E P T I O N S [ 11:3 ] Devil's Deception of the $iifts in Matters of Prayer (al-$aldh) We have already discussed devil's deception of worshippers regarding matters of the Saltih, and he practises the same deception on the Si!Jis, only to a greater extent. Mulammad Ibn Tahir al-Maqdisi said that Si!fts have come up with the habit of praying two rak«ahs after wearing the Si!Jis patched cloak and repenting. They refer to the l:iadith of Thumamah Ibn Uthal (rat/iyAlkihu 'anhu) that when he became a Muslim he was ordered by the Prophet ) to wash.150 I would observe that when an ignorant person meddles with what is not his concern he is very reprehensible. Thumamah (rat/!JAlkihu 'anhu) was an unbeliever, and when an unbeliever becomes a Muslim it is incumbent on him to wash (ghus, according to a number of fuqahd', among them Al:imad Ibn lanbal. But no scholar has enjoined a prayer of two rak 'dhs on one who becomes a Muslim, neither is there any mention of a prayer in the l:iadith of Thumamah (ratfiyAlkihu 'anhu) which could furnish an analogy. Is this then anything in fact but an innovation which they call 'a practice'. Further the Si!Jis have practices wherein they stand alone is most reprehensible. For if these practices are to be referred to the shanah, then all Muslims are alike in respect of them, and the fuqahd' know best about them; how then do the Si!Jis stand alone in observing them? If on the other hand the practices are according to their own 150 BayhaqI in al-Sunan al-Kubrri 1/171. 288
Chapter Eleven: The Devil's Deception ef the $iifts ideas, then they are alone in observing them because they invented them. [ 11 :4 ] Devil's Deception of them with regards to their place of residence As for the tents they use as places of worship, they ought not to be erected, for six reasons: i. First. They have innovated the use of such tents. Muslims have always built ma!fids. ii. Second: They have produced a rival to the ma!fids, reducing the size of the congregation. iii. Third: They miss out on the reward of walking to the ma!fid. iv. Fourth: They imitate the Christians by isolating themselves in monasteries. v. Fifth-. They refused to get married in their youth when they were in need of marriage. vi. Sixth: They made a sign (the tent) for everyone to label them as ascetic people. This will encourage others to visit them and seek their blessings (al-tabaruk). If however their purpose be insincere, then what they build are gaming-houses, abodes of idleness, and ways of parading asceticism. We have seen many of the latter .)iifts relaxing in these tents, from the labour of earning their living; and occupied with eating, drinks, music and dancing. They seek the gifts of every oppressor 289
