Chapter Eleven: <strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> of the $iifis<br />

We ask forgiveness for all our lives,<br />

And give us peace,<br />

Our courageous stance in the face of the enemy,<br />

We are insulted, we do not care,<br />

And in a loud voice, we will challenge,<br />

Until the enemy fled helter-skelter.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Prophet (;i) said: "Who is reading the poem?" <strong>The</strong>y replied:<br />

"'Amir <strong>Ibn</strong> al-Akwa'." <strong>The</strong> Prophet (fi) said: "May Allahgrant him<br />

mercy."192<br />

Al-Shafi'i said: "<strong>The</strong>re is no harm in listening to the songs of camelherds<br />

and the recitations of the Bedouin."<br />

Once Allah's Messenger (fi) was sleeping in the house of 'A'ishah.<br />

It was the day of Id and two young girls were singing. Abii Bakr<br />

(rat/!JA.lltihu 'anhu) came into the house and told the girls to stop.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Messenger (;i) said: "Let them sing, it is the day of 'id."193<br />

It seems that these two girls were young, because 'A'ishah<br />

(rat/iyAl/tihu 'anhJ) used to play with them and Allah's Messenger<br />

(;fi) used to bring young girls to play with her.<br />

So they did not use to sing songs that cause exhilaration, and their<br />

duffs were not like the ones of today.<br />

Also permissible are poems said <strong>by</strong> ascetics, called "al-Zuhdiyyat''.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y bring hearts closer to the Hereafter.<br />

0 you going and coming in oblivion,<br />

until when will you see bad things to be good,<br />
