DIVINITY

INTERPRETATION OF THE MEANING
OF THE NOBLE QUR’AN
INTRODUCTION
All praise is to the One to Whom all
dignity, honour and glory are due; the Unique with perfect attributes, who
begets not, nor is He begotten. He has no equal but he is the Almighty,
Omnipotent. He sent His Messengers and Prophets to guide humanity towards
Monotheism; to worship Him Alone, the only One Worthy of worship, and to warn
them of the eternal dire consequences of polytheism, associating partners with
One Allah and the worship of creatures. Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon
all the Prophets and on who follow him in righteousness until the Day of
Recompense.
JESUS AND THE DEVIL IN THE BIBLE
In the New Testament of the Bible,
in the fourth chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew, the sixth and seventh
verses clearly indicate that Jesus is an obedient mortal and God is the Master
and Lord according to his saying in the seventh verse:
“It is written again, thou shalt not
tempt the Lord, thy God.”
In this chapter we read that the
Devil actually carried the Messiah, and took him from place to place. How can
the Devil carry God? Glory be to Allah; He is above such blasphemy!.
Then the Devil orders him to
prostrate before him and worship him, even tempting him with worldly
possession. How can the Devil even dare such an audacity with God? When the
Devil wanted Jesus to comply with his orders, he (Jesus) replied by saying that
it was written (in the previous Books):
“Thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God; and Him only shalt thou serve.”-Matthew 4:10.
CHILDREN OF GOD
Jesus never called himself Son of
God-but he used to call himself the ‘Son of Man’ (Mark 2:10) although he heard
himself being called but that name he did not object as assumed in the Bible –
and did not consider the title exclusively for him. According to the Biblical
term in the Old and New testaments, every God-fearing righteous person is
called ‘Son of God’. In Matthew 5:9 we read: “Blessed are the peace-makers, for
they shall be called the children of God.”
In Matthew 5:45=-“That ye may be children of your Father which is in
heaven…”
GOD THE FATHER
In Matthew 5:48-
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as
Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
In Matthew 6:1-
“… otherwise ye have no reward of
your Father which is in heaven.”
In Matthew 7:21-
“Not everyone that sayeth unto me
(Jesus), Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doeth
the will of my Father, which is in heaven.”
N.B. The
word ‘Lord’ here was translated as Rabb in
the Arabic version of the Bible so that people may be convinced that Jesus is
God! But if one studies the rest of the verse, one will note that doeth the
will of my Father which is in heaven.”
It is obvious from the above
readings from the Bible that the term ‘Father’ is used for God in numerous
places in the Bible. It is never used exclusively for Jesus.
In Matthew 11:25-
“At the time Jesus answered and
said, ‘I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid
these things from the wise and prudent and has revealed them unto babes.’ ”
GOD THE FATHER
In Matthew 5:48-
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
In Matthew 6:1-
“….otherwise ye have no reward of
your Father which is in heaven.”
In Matthew 7:21-
“Not everyone that sayeth unto me
(Jesus), Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doeth
the will of my Father, which is in heaven.”
It is obvious from the above
readings from the Bible that the term ‘Father’ is used for God in numerous
places in the Bible. It is never used exclusively for Jesus.
In Matthew 11:25-
“At that time Jesus answered and
said, ‘I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid
these things from the wise and prudent and has revealed them unto babes.’ ”.
JESUS THE WORSHIPPER
In Matthew 14:23-
“And when he had sent the multitudes
away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray….”
If Jesus is God or a part of God
then why did he pray? In fact, prayer is always from a submitting, needy and
dependent one for the Mercy of Almighty Allah as mentioned in the Qur’an:
“O Mankind! It is you who stand in need of Allah, but Allah is the Rich
(Free of all needs), the Worthy of all praise (V.35:15)
And in (V.19:93) of Qur’an;
“There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes to the Most
Gracious (Allah) as a slave.”
A BIBLICAL STORY
IN Matthew 15:22-28-
“And, behold a woman of Canaan came
out of the same coasts and cried unto him, saying, ‘Have mercy on me, O Lord,
thou son of David: my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil,’ But he
answered and said, ‘ it is not meet to take the children’s bread and to cast it
to dogs.’
And she said, ‘Truth, Lord: yet the
dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from that very hour.’ ”
In this story about a woman from
Canaan there are noteworthy points:
(1) Lack of mercy and love charged
against Jesus (if the incident is reported correctly).
(2) Degraded discrimination in regard to
the uplifting of his tribe and not for the others.
(3) Tribal pride of descendance and
prejudice against others and calling them dogs.
(4) An ignorant polytheist woman debated
with him and won him over.
JESUS: A SERVANT OF
ALLAH
In Matthew 23:8-
“But be not ye called rabbi: for one is your
master, even Jesus, and all ye are brethren.” Here it is clearly proved that
Jesus was servant of Allah, and that there is only One Master and he is Allah,
In the Arabic version of the Bible this verse has been translated so that Jesus
is meant to be the master whereas the English rendering is nearer the original
sense.
In Matthew 23:9-
“And call no man your father upon the earth:
for one is your Father which is in heaven.”
From this you will note that fatherhood and
sonship is meant in a general sense and not specifically for Jesus.
In Matthew 24:36-
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no,
not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
This is a definite proof that the Final Hour is
unknown to any but Allah, thus Jesus ’ knowledge
is imperfect like all other men; Allah Alone is All- Knowing, Omniscient.
In Matthew 26:39-
“And he (Jesus) went a little farther, and fell
on his face and prayed, saying. ‘ O my father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt. ’ ”
We note here that the person speaking is
unaware of Allah’s will and realizes the fact that he is a servant of Allah. He
(Allah) Alone can cause the change.
THE COMPILATION OF THE
BIBLE
In Matthew 27:7-8 –
“And they took counsel and bought with them the
potter’s field to bury strangers in. Wherefore that field was called the field
of Blood, unto this day.”
From these verses we understand that the Bible
(the New Testament) was not written during Jesus’ lifetime but long after the
occurrence of the events described, having been retained in the memory of the
people.
In Matthew 27:46-
“And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a
loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? (My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?)’
”
This is according to their (Christians)
assumption that Jesus cried in a loud voice saying the above words while he was
being crucified. This is a great insult as such words could only come from a
Prophets of Allah because Allah never breaks His Promise and his Prophets never
complained against his promise.
JESUS: PREACHER OF
MONOTHEISM (TAUHID)
In John 17:3-
“And this is eternal, that they might know
Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent.”
In mark 12:28-30-
“And one of the scribes came, and having heard
them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked
him, ‘Which is the first commandment of all?’ And Jesus answered him: is One
Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord, thy God with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first
commandment.”
In Mark 12:32-
“And this scribe said unto him, ‘Well, Master,
thou hast said the truth: for there is One God; and there is none other but
He.’ ”
In Mark 12:34-
“....he (Jesus) said unto him, ‘Thou art not
far from the kingdom of God...’ ”
In these verses, Jesus (peace be upon him)
himself had testified that Allah is the One God, there is none other than Him,
and that whoever believes in His Oneness, je is near the Kingdom of Allah.
Therefore, whoever associates partners with Allah: and whoever is far away from
the Kingdom of Allah. Heis the enemy of Allah.
In Matthew 24:36-
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no,
not the angels of the heaven, but my Father only.”
A similiar text was quoted from Matthew which
is exactly as proclaimed by the Qur’an in that none knows when the Hour will
come except Allah. This establishes the fact that Jesus was subservient to
Allah. This establishes the fact that Jesus was subservient to Allah and that
he had no share in Divinity: that he was an incarnation of God, was an
innovation by the people of Canaan.
In John 30:16-
“Jesus said unto her, ‘Mary’ . She turned
herself, and sayeth unto him, ‘Rabboni’ which is to say, Master, Jesus, saith
unto her, ‘ Touch me and say unto them, i ascend unto my father; but go to my
brethren, and say unto them, i ascend unto my Father and your Father; and to my
God and your God.’ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she has seen
the Lord, and that He had spoken these things unto her.”
In the above narrative Jesus clearly testified
that Allah is his God and their God, making no difference between him and them
in the worship of the One Allah. Whoever believes that Jesus is God has indeed
blasphemed against Allah and betrayed Jesus and all the Prophets and Messengers
of Allah.
BIBLICAL PROPHECY ON
THE ADVENT OF MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him s.a.w)
In John 14:15-16-
“if you love me, keep my commandments. And i
will pray the Father and He shall give you another Comforter that he may abide
with you forever.”
Muslim theologians have said that “another
Comforter” is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah; and him to “abide forever”
means the perpetuity of his laws and way of life (Shariah) and the book (Qur’an) which was revealed to him.
In John 15:26-27-
“But when the Comforter is come, whom i will
send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from
the Father, he shall testify of me: and ye also shall bear witness, because ye
have been with me from the beginning.”
In John 16:5-8-
“But now i go my way to Him that sent me and
none of you asketh me, ‘whither goest thou?’ but because i have said these
things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless i tell you the
truth; for if i go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if i
depart, i will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the
world of sin, and approve righteousness and judgment.”
In John 16:12-14-
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but
you cannot bear them now. How be it when he, the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear
witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”
In John 16:12-14-
“I have yer many things to say unto you, but
you cannot bear them now. How be it when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he
will guide you into all truth: for he shall receive of mine, and he shall shew
it unto you.”
In John 16:16-
“A little while and ye shall not see me: and
again a little while, ye shall see me, because i go to the Father.”
FINALITY OF PROOFS ON
THE FABRICATION OF THE STORY OF THE CROSS
(1)
The
Bible testifies to the fact that Jesus was known among the Jews; he used to
preach and deliver sermons in the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. It was
therefore, unnecessary to hire a Jew for thirty pieces of silver to direct them
to him as related in Matthew.
(2)
It
is related that one of the twelve disciples named Judas Iscariot was hired to
direct the jews to Jesus. They then sentenced him after which Judas was greatly
ashamed and dissociated himself from their act and then committed suicide. All
this took place within twenty-four hours. The contradictions are obvious.
(3)
The
clearest proof which alone is sufficient to discredit this story is when the
Jews passed the sentence of death against Jesus and intended to get the
approval of the governor, Pontius Pilate.
In Matthew 27:11-14-
“And Jesus stood before the governor: The
governor asked him, ‘Thou sayest’: And when he was accused of (by) the chief
priest and elders he answered nothing. Then said Pilate unto him. “ Hearest
thou not how many things they witness against thee? And he answered him never
(to) a word…”
The Christians will interpret the above verse
to mean that Jesus wanted to die on the Cross for the redemption of mankind and
for the forgiveness of their sins. If so, then why did he ask to turn away that
cup from him (i.e. death)? Why did he cry out while on the Cross (as they
assume): “O Lord, why hast Thou forsaken me?” How could he have remained silent
when the truth was being challenged? He was known for his soul-inspiring
sermons challenging the learned Jewish rabbis. No sane person can believe in
this. If the story of the Cross is disproved then the very foundation on which
Christianity is based, will be demolished.
Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified by
the Jews are revealed in the Holy Quran by Allah in a crystals clear manner: V
4:157,158-
“And because of their saying (in boast): ‘We
killed Messiah ‘Isa (Jesus), not nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them
(the resemblance of those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain)
knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely they killed him not
[i.e.. Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary)]. But Allah raised him [Isa (Jesus)] up
(with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is
Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise.”
The Jews themselves, together with the entire
Christian world, believe that he was crucified. As proofs against their views
and to prove the truth of the Muslim verdict through the Bible, I prepared the
following set of questions based on the Book of Matthew in the New Statement of
the Bible, (Chapter 26 and 27):
1)
Did
those who captured Jesus (according to their assumption) know him in person? Or
did they not know him?
Matthew testifies that they did not know him.
2)
Was
it during the day or night that he was captured?
Matthew says it was during the night.
3)
Who
was the one that directed them to him?
Matthew says: He was one of his twelve
disciples called Jesus Judas Iscariot.
4)
Did
he direct them free of charge or for a fixed reward which they specified for him?
Matthew says: He directed them to him for a
fixed reward of thirty pieces of silver.
5)
What
was the condition of Jesus during the night?
Matthew says: He was fearful and prostrated in
prayer saying: ‘O God, if it is possible for you to let this cup pass from me,
then let it pass.” It is incredible that such words could come from a believer
in God, let alone a Prophet of God, because all believers believe that God has
power over all things.
6)
What
was the condition of his eleven disciples?
Matthew says: Sleep overcame them that night
together with their teacher (according to their assumption) out of fear.
7)
Was
Jesus contented with their condition?
Matthew says (verses 40-46): He was not
satisfied. He used to come to them to wake them up saying: “watch and pray that
ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is
weak.” Then he would come again to find them asleep and he would again wake
them up and say the same thing. This weakness could not have been spoken of
righteous pupils even if they were pupils of an ordinary pious teacher, let
alone the disciples of Jesus son of Mary.
8)
Did
they help him when those ruffians captured him?
Matthew says: they forsook him and fled.
9)
Did
Jesus have confidence in his disciples that night?
Matthew says: Jesus informed them that they
will all forsake him. Then Jesus said unto them: “Verily I say unto thee that
this night before the cock crows, thou shall deny me- thrice.” Peter said unto
him, “Although I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee.” Likewise also
said all the disciples. And so it happened.
10)
How
did those ruffians capture him?
Matthew says: They came to him with swords and
staves after they were directed to him by a Jew, then they captured him as
described in verse 57:
“And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him
away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the elders were assembled.”
There they passed the sentence of death on him.
The ruffians then took him away, spat on his face and struck him with their
hands after which they stripped him of his head and took him about, teasing and
mocking him. They said to him: ‘You are the king of Israel according to your
claim.’ They severely degraded him.
11)
Who
finally decided to pass the death sentence against him?
Matthew says: He was Pontius Pilate, a Greek
Roman, who was at that time the governor Of Palestine.
12)
When
the ruffians brought that man before the governor and informed him that the
priest of the Jews passed the sentence of death by crucifixion according to
their law (Torah), did he believe in them without investigation?
Matthew says: He did not believe them but asked
that man: “Is it true what they have said? He remained silent. The question was
repeated and he continued to remain silent. He remained silent in view of the
truth; it was essential for him even if he was not a Prophet to clarify the
truth and deny the false accusation of the Jews. The governor’s intention for
asking him was to stand for the truth.
13)
How
was he crucified according to their assumption?
Matthew says: They crucified him between two
thieves both of whom abused him by saying to him, “If you are truthful then
save yourself.”
14)
This
was a great calamity. What did he say while on the cross (according to their
assumption)?
Matthew says (27:46):
“Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani? (that is to say,) my God, my God, why hast forsaken
me?’”.
This is a blatant declaration of disbelief
according to all theological authorities. Whoever relates it to a Prophet is a
disbeliever according to the revealed religions.
Almighty Allah, in the Qur’an warns, the Jews
and the Christians against their blasphemy; that Jesus is an incarnation of God
(Allah) or the son of God (Allah) or in rejecting him totally; and that they
must believe in him as a Messenger of Allah only:
“ And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Mary), son of Maryam
(Mary), as only a Messenger of Allah and a human being] before his Isa (Jesus)
or a Jews or a Christian’s] death (at the time of the appearance of the angel
of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he [Isa (Jesus)] will be witness
against them.” (V4:159)
PROPHET JESUS IN THE
QUR’AN
The Qur’an narrates in some detail the
importance of the advent of Jesus, his immaculate birth, his miracles, his
mission, and ultimately his ascendance. These Divine Revelations of Jesus
(peace be upon him) are indeed a living witness and a proof against
Christianity.
Almighty Allah says:
“ (Remember) when the angels said: ‘ O Maryam
(Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a word [‘Be!’-and he was! I.e. Al-world and
in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah.” (V3:35)
“Verily, the likeness of Isa (Jesus) before
Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to
him:’Be’- and he was. (This is) the truth from your Lord, so of those who
doubt.” (V 3:59-60)
“And because of their (Jews) disbelief and
uttering against Maryam (Mary) a grave false charge (that she has committed
illegal sexual intercourse),” (V 4:156)
“And because of their saying (in boast), ‘We
killed Messiah Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah,”- but
they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them [the
resemblance of Isa (Jesus) was put over another man], (and they killed that
man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain)
knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely they killed him not
[i.e. Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) (V 4:159)
“O people of the Scripture (Christians)! Do not
exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth: The
Messiah Isa (Jesus), son Of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of
Allah and His Word (‘be!’- and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a
spirit (Ruh) created by Him; so
believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: ‘Three (trinity)!’ Cease! (it is)
better for you. For Allah is (the only) One Ilah
(God), Glorified is He (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To him
belong all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is
All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.” (V4:171)
“The Messiah will never be proud to reject to
be a slave of Allah, nor the angels who are the near (to Allah). And Allah is
All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs” (V 4:172)
“Surely, in disbelief are they who say that
Allah is the Messiah, son of power against Allah, If He were to destroy the
Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary). Say (O Muhammad s.a.w.)” ‘Who then has the least
power against Allah, if he were to destroy the Messiah, son Of Maryam to Allah
belongs the dominion of the heaven and the earth, and all that is between them.
He creates what He wills, and Allah is Able to do all things.” (V 5:17)
“And (both) the Jews and the Christians say:
‘We are the children of Allah and his loved ones.’ Say:’ Why then does he
punish you for your sins?’ Nay, you are but human beings of those he has
created, He forgives whom he wills and he punishes whom he wills. And to Allah
belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them,
and to Him is the return (of all) (V5:18)
“Surely, they have disbelieved who say:’Allah
is the Messiah [Isa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary).’ But the Messiah [Isa
(Jesus)] said: ‘O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’
Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allah, then Allah has
forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheist and wrongdoers)there are no
helpers.” (V.5:72)
“The Messiah [Isa (Jesus)], son of Maryam
(Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away
before him. His mother; many [Maryam (Mary)] was a Siddiqah [ i.e. she believed in the Words of Allah and His Books
(see V 66:12)]. They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while
Allah does not eat). Look how we make the Ayat ( proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs, revealations, etc..) clear to them; yet look how they are
deluded away (from the truth).” (V5:75)
“(Remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of
Resurrection): ‘O Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Remember My Favour to you
and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh-ul-Qudus [ Jibrail (Gabriel)] so that you spoke to the people
in the cradle and in maturity; and when
I taught you writing, Al-Hikmah (the
power of understanding), the Taurat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospel); and when
you made out of the clay, a figure like that of a bird, by My Permission, and
you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My Permission, and you healed
those born blind, and It became a bird by My Permission, and when you brought
forth the dead by My Permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel
from you (when they resolved to kill you) as you came to them with clear proofs
and the disbelievers among them said: ‘ This is nothing but evident magic.’
“And when I (Allah) inspired Al-Hawariyyun [the disciples of Isa
(Jesus)] to believe in me and My Messenger, they said: ‘We believe. And bear
witness that we are Muslims.’
“(Remember) when Al-Hawariyyun (the
disciples) said: O Isa (Jesus), (with food) from heaven?’ Isa (Jesus) said:
‘Fear Allah, if you are indeed believers.’
“They said: We wish to eat thereof and to
satisfy our hearts (to be stronger in Faith), and to know that you have indeed
told us the truth and that we ourselves be its witnesses.’
“Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary) said: “O Allah,
our Lord! Send us from the heaven a table spread (with food) that there may be
for us- for the first and the last of us-a festival and a sign from You; and
provide us with sustenance, for You are the Best of sustainers.’
“ Allah said: ‘I am going to send it down unto
you, but if any you after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with torment
such as I have not inflected on anyone among (all) the Alamin (mankind and jinn).’
“And (remember) when Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam
(Mary), said: ‘O Children of Israel!. I am the Messenger of Allah to you,
confirming the Taurat (Torah) which came before me, whose name shall be Ahmad.’
But, when he (Ahmad i.e. Muhammad s.a.w) came to them with clear proofs, they
said: ‘This is plain magic.’” (V.61.6)
DESCENT OF JESUS, SON
OF MARY
“And he Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) shall
be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour (Day of Resurrection) [ i.e. Isa’s
(Jesus) descent on the earth]. Therefore have no doubt concerning it (i.e the
Day of Resurrection). And follow me (Allah) (i.e. be obedient to Allah and do
what He orders you to do, O Mankind)! This is the Straight Path (of Islamic
Monotheism, leading to Allah and to His Paradise).
“And let not Shaitan (Satan) hinder you (from
the right religion i.e Islamic Monotheism). Verily he (Satan) to you is a plain
enemy.
“And when isa (Jesus) came with (Our) clear
Proofs, he said: I have come to you with Al-Hikmah (Prophethood), and in order
to make clear to you some of the (points) in which you differ. Therefore fear
Allah and obey me.’
“Verily,Allah! He is my lord (God) and your
Lord (God). So worship true Islamic Monotheism).” (V.43:61-64)
Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah Messenger said,
“By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand my soul is, surely the son of Maryam (Mary),
‘Iesa (Jesus) will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims) and will judge
mankind justly by the Law the Qur`an (as a just ruler) and will break the cross
and kill the pigs and abolish the Jizyah
(a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are under the protection of the Muslim
government. This Jizyah tax will not
be accepted by ‘Iesa (Jesus). Then there will be abundance of money and nobody
will accept charitable gifts [See Fath Al-Bari, for details]. (Sahih
Al-Bukhari, Hadith No.2222).
