Chapter Eleven: <strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> ef the .)Ujis<br />

never occurred to them.<br />

And even if we assumed the story to be true, a person may faint<br />

out of true fear. How is this similar to one who experiences wcyd<br />

and rips his clothes? He has certainly been played with <strong>by</strong> the devil.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Companions (raef!JAlldhu 'anhum) hearts were the purest of<br />

hearts, and they never used to go beyond crying in such situations.<br />

Al-'Irbaq <strong>Ibn</strong> Sariyah (raef!JAlldhu 'anhu) reported: Allah's Messenger<br />

() admonished us to the point of causing our eyes to tear up<br />

and our hearts to feel fear. 2 11<br />

Abu Bakr al-AjurrI said: <strong>The</strong>y did not yell or beat their chests as<br />

many ignorant people do when the devil plays with them.<br />

Asma' hint Abu Bakr (raefryA//dhu 'anhumd'j was asked: How did<br />

the Companions react when listening to Qur'an recitation? She said:<br />

<strong>The</strong>y used to behave just as mentioned in the Qur'an, their eyes<br />

used to water, and their skins start to shiver. She was asked: Some<br />

people fainted when hearing the Qur'an? She replied: I seek refuge<br />

with Allah from the rejected devil.<br />

And 'Ikrimah asked Asma' (raefryA//dhu 'anha): Did the Companions<br />

used to faint out of fear? She responded: No, but they used to<br />

cry.<br />

And <strong>Ibn</strong> 'Umar (ratfiyA//iihu 'anhumd'j saw a man who has fainted,<br />

when he inquired about him he was told that he fainted everytime<br />

he heared the Qur'an being recited. <strong>Ibn</strong> 'Umar said: We also fear<br />

Allah (the Mighty and the Majestic) but never faint.<br />
