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

Section Seven<br />

$iijis ignorance in Matters of fiqh Issues<br />

(Religious Jurisprudence)<br />

Banan once found a piece of gold in the street; he picked it up and<br />

put it in his mouth. While walking, he heard a boy telling a group of<br />

boys: "A servant will only reach the reality of highness when he<br />

throws the thing in his mouth!" So he threw the piece of gold from<br />

his mouth.<br />

Scholars are in agreement that doing so is not permissible. What<br />

was strange was that he threw it based on the saying of a young boy.<br />

Shaqiq al-BalkhI told Abii'l-Qasim: "A friend of mine gave me<br />

these nuts to eat for Iftar." So Abii'l-Qasim replied: "You are assuming<br />

that you will stay alive until sunset. I will never talk to you<br />

again." <strong>The</strong>n he closed the door in his face.<br />

Look at this deep understanding! How could he a band on another<br />

Muslim because of doing something mandub (encouraged). We were<br />

ordered to prepare for the future. This is a form of self discipline.<br />

Allah said:<br />

"And make ready against them all you can of power"<br />

[al-Anja/ (8): 60]<br />

And the Prophet (;i) used to save one year's worth of food for his<br />

family.268 And 'Umar donated half of his wealth and kept the other<br />

half, and nobody criticized him for that.<br />
