Then Iblis, the enemy of Allah, said: قَالَ فَبِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ثُمَّ لَا تِيَنَّهُم مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَعَنْ أَيْمَنِهِمْ وَعَن شَمَابِلِهِمْ وَلَا تَجِدُ أَكْثَرَهُمْ شَكِرِينَ) (Because you have sent me astray, surely, I will lie in wait against them (on) Your Straight Path. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and you will not find most of them 6Niyyah in Taharah and Salaah Niyyah is the intention and will to do an activity. Its place is in the heart, as it is unrelated to the tongue. Therefore, it was reported from the Prophet and his Companions that they used to make a niyyah for each circumstance. These expressions47, which were invented to be used at the beginning of wudu' and Salaah, have been made the subject of dispute among people under Satan's influence. He always reminds them to pronounce those expressions properly, and so you find one of them repeating the words of niyyah with difficulty, while this is not part of Salaah at all; rather the niyyah is the intention in the heart to do an act. Whoever sits down to perform wudu' has indeed made niyyah to do wudu'; and whoever stands up to perform Salaah has indeed made the niyyah to do Salaah. Therefore, one's niyyah is made, automatically, with any * Expressions such as: "I intend to perform wudu' for such and such a Salaah," etc. 48The Companions of the Prophet used to walk barefooted to the mosque Yahya bin Watthab said: "I asked Ibn 'Abbas: 'Can a man perform ablution, then walk barefooted to the mosque?' He replied: 'Yes, there is no harm in that.' Kamal bin Ziyad said: "I saw Ali bin Abi Talib walk in pouring rain, then enter the mosque and perform Salaah, without washing his feet." Ibrahim An-Nakha'i said: "The Companions of the Prophet used to walk in rain (on wet clay), enter the mosque and perform Salaah." Ibn Al-Mundhir said: "Ibn 'Umar walked barefooted in Mina, then performed Salaah, without making wudu' again." He added: "And those who adopted such an opinion were: 'Alqamah, Al-Aswad, Abdullah bin Al- Mughaffal, Sa'id bin Al-Musayyib, Ash-Sha'abi, Imam Ahmad, Abu Haneefah, Imam Malik, and some from the Shafi'i school. 70 70The Ruling Regarding the Doubtful Divorce As for a person who divorced one of his wives and forgot, or divorced one but did not mention her name; the scholars have differed in opinion over the ruling of this issue: Abu Haneefah, Shafi'i, Thawri and Hammad said: "He chooses anyone he likes, and applies the divorce of the doubtful upon her. As for the state of the one he divorced and forgot, he should not come near any of his wives, but should spend on them all, until the matter is clarified. If he dies before he could find out which of his wives he had divorced and forgotten about, Abu Haneefah said that all his wives should then divide the legacy of that one wife with the others. Shafi'i said: "The legacy should be suspended until they have made with one another." The Maliki school says: "If a husband divorces a non-nominated wife, saying: 'You are divorced,' but did not know which one; then his declaration applies on all of them. If he divorced one nominated wife, then later forgot which one it was, he should abstain from 103Allah has informed us about His enemy, Iblis (the Satan), when He asked him why he refused to prostrate to Adam Iblis argued that he was better than Adam, and asked Allah to allow him respite, and He allowed him so. Then Iblis, the enemy of Allah, said: (Because you have sent me astray, surely, I will lie in wait against them (on) Your Straight Path. Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and you will not find most of them thankful ones! الفردوس AL-FIRDOUS Al-Firdous Ltd., London ISBN 1-874263-47-7 9 781874 263470
