Chapter Thirteen: <strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> of Lqypeople<br />

A man told Bishr al-J:Iafi: I've saved two thousand dirhams to perform<br />

Jjajj.<br />

So Bishr said: Have you performed Jjajj in the past?<br />

<strong>The</strong> man replied: Yes.<br />

Bishr said: <strong>The</strong>n give the money to a man in debt.<br />

He said: I am only inclined to performing Jjajj .<br />

Bish replied: Your objective is for people to say that you are a<br />

Jjajft<br />

Some people spend money on singing and dancing sessions. Iblis<br />

makes them believe that they are doing good deeds <strong>by</strong> feeding the<br />

poor people who attend these gatherings. We have discussed how<br />

such things negatively affect the heart.<br />

And some wealthy people use silver utensils and silverware during<br />

engagement parties. Some scholars attend such parties and do not<br />

criticize the host, out of adhering to bad habits.<br />

Some wealthy people transgress in writing their wills. <strong>The</strong>y deprive<br />

some deserving heirs because they believe that they are free to<br />

do whatever they want with their money. <strong>The</strong>y forget that <strong>by</strong> becoming<br />

ill (their death illness) then their heirs become deserving of<br />

receiving their share of the inheritance.<br />
