Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 9.321 Narrated by<br />

Aisha<br />

The Prophet used to take the Pledge of allegiance from the women by words only after reciting this Holy Verse: (60.12)<br />

"..that they will not associate anything in worship with Allah." (60.12) And the hand of Allah's Apostle did not touch any<br />

woman's hand except the hand of that woman his right hand possessed. (i.e. his captives or his lady slaves).<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 7.534 Narrated by<br />

Abu Qatada<br />

Allah's Apostle said, "When you drink (water), do not breathe in the vessel; and when you urinate, do not touch your penis<br />

with your right hand. And when you cleanse yourself after defecation, do not use your right hand."<br />

Al-Muwatta Hadith<br />

Hadith 28.32<br />

A Man's Owning a Slave Whom He has Married and then Divorced<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had asked Ibn Shihab about a man who had a slave-girl as a wife, and then he<br />

bought her, and divorced her once. He said, "She is halal for him by the possession of the right hand as long as he does not<br />

make his divorce irrevocable. If he irrevocably divorces her, she is not halal for him by the possession of the right hand until<br />

she has married another husband."…..<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 1.629<br />

Abu Huraira<br />

Narrated by<br />

The Prophet said, "Allah will give shade, to seven, on the Day when there will be no shade but His. (These seven persons<br />

are) a just ruler, a youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah (i.e. worships Allah sincerely from childhood), a<br />

man whose heart is attached to the mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the mosque in congregation), two<br />

persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only, a man who refuses the call of<br />

a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah, a man who gives charitable gifts<br />

so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in<br />

charity), and a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears."<br />

RIGHTEOUSNESS:<br />

2:21 - O ye people! adore your Guardian-Lord who created you and those who came before you<br />

that ye may have the chance to learn righteousness. 40<br />

40 For Taqwa see ii. 2 n. 26. I connect this dependent clause with "adore, etc." above, though it could be connected with<br />

"created". According to my construction the argument will be as follows. Adoration is the act of the highest and<br />

humblest reverence and worship. When you get into that relationship with God, Who is your Creator and Guardian,<br />

your faith produces works of righteousness. It is a chance given you: will you exercise your free will and take it? If<br />

you do, your whole nature will be transformed. (2.21)<br />

2:25 - But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness that their portion is<br />

Gardens beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom they say:<br />

"Why this is what we were fed with before" for they are given things in similitude; and they<br />

have therein companions (pure and holy); and they abide therein (for ever). 44<br />

44 This is the antithesis to the last verse. If fire is the symbol of Punishment, the Garden is the symbol of felicity. And<br />

what can be more delightful than a Garden where you observe from a picturesque height a beautiful landscape round<br />

you, - rivers flowing with cyrstal water, and fruit trees of which the choicest fruit is before you. The fruit of goodness is<br />

goodness, similar, but choicer in every degree of ascent. You think it is the same, but it is because of your past<br />

experiences and associations of memory. Then there is companionship. If sex is suggested, its physical associations<br />

are at once negatived by the addition of the word Mutahharatun "pure and holy." The Arabic epithet is in the intensive<br />

form, and must be translated by two adjectives denoting purity in the highest degree. The Companionship is that of<br />

souls and applies to both sexes in the physical world of men and women. And this felicity is not a mere passing<br />

phase but will abide beyond the realms of Time. (2.25)<br />

2:165 - Yet there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allah as equal (with Allah); they<br />

love them as they should love Allah. But those of faith are overflowing in their love for Allah. If<br />

only the unrighteous could see behold they would see the penalty that to Allah belongs all<br />

power and Allah will strongly enforce the penalty. 167<br />

167 Everything around and within us points to unity of purpose and design, - points to God. Yet there are foolish persons<br />

(unrighteous - those who deliberately use the choice given them to go wrong). They think something else is equal to<br />
