Chapter Eleven: <strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> ef the $iijis<br />

"And (istafzjz) incite [to senselessness] whoever you can<br />

among them with your voice and assault them with your<br />

horses ."<br />

[al-lsrd' 17: 64]<br />

Mujahid said:<br />

"And (istafzjz) incite [to senselessness] whoever you can<br />

among them with your voice."<br />

'This means singing (al-ghinri) and flutes (al-mazrimiry '<br />

As for proofs from the Sunnah:<br />

i. 'Abdullah <strong>Ibn</strong> 'Umar (ratffyAllrihu 'anhuma) heard the sound of a<br />

shepherd's flute; he placed his fingers in both ears, and and turned<br />

his mount away from the road. He said to me repeatdly: 0 Nafi', Do<br />

you hear it? I would say: Yes. He would then continue riding. When<br />

at last I said, No, he lowered his hands, and brought his mount back<br />

to the road. He said: I saw the Prophet (;i) do as I have been doing<br />

when he heard a shepherd's flute.197<br />

ii. 'Abdu'l-Ralfman <strong>Ibn</strong> 'Awf (rarjiyAllrihu 'anhu) narrated that Allah's<br />

Messenger (;i) said: "I was forbidden from Oistening to) two foolish<br />

and wicked sounds, the sound of a flute at the time of joy, and<br />

the wailing sounds at the time of calamity."198<br />

If this was what they used to do when hearing a sound that does<br />

not cause exhilaration, then what would have they done if they had<br />

heard the music played nowadays?<br />

197 Abii Dawiid #4925 and BayhaqI 10/222 with a sound chain.<br />

198 TirmidhI 1005 and TayiilisI #1783 sound chain with supporting narrations.<br />
