Chapter Eleven: <strong>The</strong> Devit s <strong>Deception</strong> of the $Ujis<br />

Further Abii Talib al-Makki says in his book210, Marwan al-Qaqi<br />

used to have slave girls who used to sing to the $iifts.<br />

And 'Ata' also had two slave girls who used to sing to his friends.<br />

As for Sa'd al-Dimashqi, he was an ignorant person. And what<br />

was reported regarding 'Ata' is impossible to have been true. As for<br />

the report regarding Marwan, if it is true, then he was an evil-doer.<br />

Evidence of this is in what we have recorded of al-Shafi'i. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

people have no sound knowledge and incline after their passion.<br />

If someone SC!JS.' What do you say about what al-Mughirah reported<br />

that 'Awn <strong>Ibn</strong> 'Abdullah used to tell stories, then have a female slave<br />

sing. Al-Mughirah said: I was about to send him a note saying: You<br />

are a member of a righteous household, and Allah has not sent his<br />

Messenger ( with foolishness and what you are doing is foolish.<br />

<strong>The</strong> response would be: I do not assume that 'Awn used to ask the<br />

slave girl to sing to men. Perhaps he used to have her sing to him in<br />

private. Al-Mughirah did not want him to indulge into this so he<br />

was about to admonish him.<br />

So how about those who have their slaves sing gleeful songs to<br />

groups of men?!<br />

In his attempt to legalise singing, Abii Talib al-Makki cited<br />

dreams he had. And he classified music into several baseless $ii.ft<br />

categories.<br />

We have previously mentioned that whoever claims that listening<br />

to songs does not affect his attitude and desire is a liar.<br />
