Part 19

The method of imprisoning the Jinn who possesses the body of a person

The sorcerer gets acquainted with the leaders of the tribe of the Jinn and approaches them with particular acts of polytheism, then he asks them to detain the Jinn in order not to possess the person he is healing. So the Jinn imprison him.

The method of torturing the Jinn and killing him

This method is the same like the previous one, but the act of polytheism involved are much more serious.

The method of burning the Jinn

This method is like the two previous ones, but the act of polytheism is even more devilish. If not out of fear of causing fitnah, I would have explained carefully this method, and written all the “magical combinations of words” or “cryptic characters” which are used by the sorcerers, But it should be enough for you to know that no Jinn works for a sorcerer until he is certain that this sorcerer has become a polytheist, a disbeliever in Allah 3¢ and His Messenger 4. This polytheism can be clear or hidden, but it is definitely included in those cryptic characters, and in the demands made by the Jinn of his sorcerer.

Note: Sometimes, the Jinn deceives the sorcerer by including some verses of

the Qur’an in those cryptic characters, so he might assume it is the correct way of healing and use it to cure his patients, because it is

Guidance for the protection from Sar’

1. To remember the Prophet’s supplications; and I will make a whole chapter at the end of this book, exclusively for them.

2. To mention the Name of Allah if you jump from a high place. 3. To mention the Name of Allah when you enter a dark room.

4. To mention the Name of Allah when you pour hot water in a sink or on the ground.

5. Do not harm a dog or a cat.

6. Do not sleep alone in a room, and if you have to, then perform ablution and make the supplications before you sleep.

7. Do not urinate in a hole or a den’.

8. Do not kill a snake that appears inside the house; and here is the analysis of this issue:

First: When you see a snake in the house, you give it an ultimatum of three days to leave. We have previously mentioned the story of the Ansari youth, when the Prophet & said: “Sometimes these houses are visited by (a snake or scorpion), so if you see one of them, give it an ultimatum of three days to leave. If it stays after three days, kill it, because it could only be a kafir (a kafir Jinn in the form of a snake)”.

The method of tahreej (Giving the Jinn in the form of a snake the ultimatum to leave the house in three days):

Al-Nawawi has said: “Al-Qadi said: ‘Ibn Hibban transmitted that the Prophet’s 4 saying for tahreej is:

AB gS Vy LSS 5 Y gl aha Cy Ghee Sule os! (pill agadly Satsl ”

Un-shudukum bil ahdi al-lathi akhadathu Sulaymanu ibnu Dawooda an-la tukthounana wala tath'hana lana.

Imam Malik said: We can say: MG 9935 Vy WI ad Y oh SAY a sally ably he ¢ jal ”

Ukruj ‘alayka billahi wal yawmi al-akhiri alla tabdu lana wala tou'zoonana

' ALNas@’i reported, on the authority of Qatadah from ‘Abdullah ibn Sajis that the

Prophet 4% prohibited urination in a hole. Qatadah was asked why it was unpleasant to urinate in a hole. He replied: ‘It was said that holes are the residences of Jinn.’

? Recorded by Muslim.

Second: If you see the snake in the house, then after three days, kill it, because it is either a devil, a Jewish Jinn, a Christian Jinn, an oppressive Muslim Jinn, or a real snake.

Fourth: To kill any snake you see outside the house.

Fifth: Kill any snake you see inside the mosque; and this is the opinion of Imam Malik.

9. Deo not wonder deeply into the desert alone at night.

10. To Mention the Name of Allah when you throw something heavy on the ground.

Chapter Three: The appearance of Satan to the Prophets

Abu al-Faraj ibn al-Juzi reported, on the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn “Umar 4 who said: “When Noah %#\ boarded the ship, he saw an old man whom he had never met before; so he asked him: ‘What brought you here?’ He replied: ‘I came to target the hearts of your companions, so their souls would be with me, but their bodies with you.” Noah #4 replied to him: ‘Get out, you enemy of Allah.’ Iblis then said: ‘People have been destroyed by five things. I will discuss three with you, but keep the other two from you.’ Thereupon, Allah 3% revealed to Noah #8) that he would not need to know the three things, and advised him to order Iblis to discuss the other two. So Iblis said: ‘The two things that destroy people are envy and cupidity (greed for gain); I was cursed because of envy, and it was out of cupidity that the whole of Paradise became licensed to Adam, so I made him commit that sin, and be expelled from it.”!

Musa (Moses) ##’s encounter with Satan

Abu Bakr Al-Qurashi reported, on the authority of ibn ‘Umar 4 who said: “Iblis met Moses #4 and said: ‘O Musa, you are the one whom Allah chose to carry His Message, and spoke directly to; as for me, I have sinned, and I want to repent, so please seek forgiveness for me from your Lord 38’. Moses made the supplication to his Lord who said: ‘O Musa, I have fulfilled your request’. When Moses met Iblis again, he told him: ‘You are ordered by the Lord to prostrate to the grave of Adam, and your repentance will be accepted’. Iblis displayed his pride and arrogance again, and said angrily: ‘I refused to prostrate

' Talbis Iblis (29).

to him (Adam) while he was alive, yet you want me to do it now that he is dead’. He then added: ‘O Musa, you have a right on me for seeking repentance for me with your Lord; so I advise you to remember me in the following three situations, so I would not be effective: (1) When you are in a state of anger; for my revelation (inspiration) is in your heart, my eyes in your eyes, and J circulate in you like the blood in your veins. (2) When you meet the enemy in Jihad; because I come to the Mujahid and keep reminding him of his children and his wife until he withdraws from fighting. (3) Never sit together with a foreign woman who has no Mahram with her; because I will be her messenger to you, and your messenger to her.”!

Yahya ibn Zakariya *’s encounter with Satan

Abdullah bin Muhammad ibn ‘Ubaid reported, on the authority of Wahib bin Al-Ward who said: “It was reported to us that the evil Iblis appeared to Yahya %8 saying: ‘I want to give you some advice.’ Yahya answered him: ‘Liar, you could never give me sincere advice; but tell me about the children of Adam.’ He replied: ‘For us, the children of Adam are divided in three types:

- One type we approach and influence until we make him sin, but then he goes to devote his time in seeking forgiveness and repentance, so he spoils and ruins everything we had achieved from him. We try again, but he still goes to repent again; since we neither fail nor achieve anything from him, we are just patient with him.

- The second type is within our hands, like a ball in the hands of the children, we approach them with any difficult resulting from their wiliness.

- The last type is your type; you are protected and infallible, so we are powerless before you.”

' Akam al-marjan (207).

Yahya #4 asked: ‘So have you managed to overpower me?’

He replied: ‘No, except once, when you were having your meal, I kept on increasing your appetite for it until you ate more than your fill; so you slept that night so heavily that you could not perform salah the way you used to’.

Yahya #4 said: ‘Certainly, I will not eat to my fill again’.

Iblis replied: ‘Certainly, I will not advise an offspring of Adam after you again.”!

Ayyub #<’s encounter with Satan

Ibn Abi Hatim reported, in his Tafsir, on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas ¢& who said: “Satan said, ‘O Lord, set me up on Ayyub #4 (Prophet Job). ’ Allah 3€ said: ‘I have set you up on his wealth and children, but not him’. So, Satan gathered his army and said to them: ‘I have been set up on Ayyub, so show me your strength’. He dispatched a group of his demons to Ayyub’s crop and groups to his different livestock, and then he said: ‘Only his patience will safeguard him from you.’ Ayyub 34 was smitten with all sorts of afflictions; he lost all his crop and cattle; so he gathered all his children in the house of the eldest of them, and as they were eating and drinking, a strong wind shook the roof so hard that it collapsed on them. Satan appeared to Ayyub 3 in the image of a young boy who said: ‘O Ayyub, did you know that your Lord had gathered all your children in the house of the eldest, and as they were eating and drinking, a strong wind shook the house and the roof collapsed upon them; you should have seen how their blood mixed with their food and drink’.

Ayyub 881 asked him: ‘And where were you?’ He replied: ‘I was with them’ Aiyub si said: ‘And how did you escape?’ he replied: ‘I escaped’ Aiyub 88 said: “You are Satan’.

) Akam al-marjan (212).

Aiyub %\ then said: ‘Today, I am in the image in which I was born.’ He went and shaved his head, then performed salah.

Consequently, Satan made a scream which was heard in the heavens and on earth, then he faced the sky and said: ‘O Lord, he has sought protection in salah; would You set me up on him, because I am unable to overpower him except with Your Might.’

The Lord said to him: ‘I have set you up on his body, but not up on his heart.”
