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

Section Eight<br />

Humiliating <strong>The</strong>mselves<br />

Some $iifts commit sins in public so they fall from people's eyes<br />

and save themselves from ego. In fact, they drop their status in<br />

Allah's eyes because they violated Shari'ah.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y show the worst aspects of themselves and hide the best parts.<br />

This is one of the worst things. Allah's Messenger (;i) said: "Why<br />

didn't you cover Ma'iz with your garment (while he was being stoned<br />

for committing adultery)."26 9<br />

And when some Companions passed <strong>by</strong> the Messenger (;i) while<br />

he was talking to Safiyyah, he (;i) told them: "Slow down. it is only<br />

Safiyyah."270 And He (;i) taught people not to assume that which is<br />

bad in each other, because believers are Allah's witnesses on earth.<br />

Hudhayfah (ratf,fyA//rihu 'anhu) missed Friday prayer once, so he<br />

hid so people would not think ill of him.<br />

And a man told a Companion: "I have committed such and such<br />

sin," so the Companion responded: "Allah Has concealed your sin,<br />

you should have done the same."<br />

<strong>The</strong>se people wanted to go against Shari'ah and against human<br />

nature.<br />
