Perfumed garden story11/11/2023 We and our disciples will meet and examine each other. This happened after the death of the Prophet (the salutation and mercy of God be with him).Ĭhedja then wrote to Mocailama a letter, in which she told him, "It is not proper that two persons should at one and the same time profess prophecy it is for one only to be a prophet. ![]() Either he is a prophet, and then I and my disciples will follow his laws, or I am a prophetess, and then he and his disciples will follow my laws." She said, "Prophecy cannot belong to two persons. This woman was powerful, for the Beni-Temim form a numerous tribe. ![]() She had heard of Mocailama, and he likewise of her. Observe, my brethren, what happens to those whose eyes remain closed to the light, and who are deprived of the assistance of the Almighty!Īnd thus acted that woman of the Beni-Temin, called Chedja et Temimia, who pretended to be a prophetess. Now, Mocailama was an enemy of God, and when he put his luckless hand on the head of someone who had not much hair, the man was at once quite bald when he spat into a well with a scanty supply of water, sweet as it was, it was turned dirty by the will of God if he spat into a suffering eye, that eye lost its sight at once, and when he laid his hand upon the head of an infant, saying, "Live a hundred years," the infant died within an hour. When the disciples of Mocailama saw these things or heard speak of them, they came to him and said, "Have you no knowledge of Mohammed and his doings?" He replied, "I shall do better than that." He heard that after he had placed his venerable hands upon a bald head, the hair had forthwith sprung up again that when he spat into a pit, the water came in abundantly, and that the dirty water turned at once clean and good for drinking that when he spat into an eye that was blind or obscure, the sight was at once restored to it, and when he placed his hands upon the head of a child, saying, "Live for a century," the child lived to be a hundred years old. He had been at this work when he heard the Prophet (the salutation and mercy of God be with him) spoken of. Mocailama had thus perverted sundry chapters in the Koran by his lies and impostures. He said, "We have given you precious stones for yourself, and in preference to any other man, but take care not to be proud of them." The chapter of the Koran named the Kouter is also an object of his controversy. Surely it is a creation of our God, the magnificent." What is the elephant? What does it mean? What is this quadruped? It has a tail and a long trunk. He derided the chapter headed "the Elephant," saying, "In this chapter of the Elephant I see the elephant. Mocailama, the son of Kaiss, the imposter, misconstrued likewise the Koran by his lies and impostures and on the subject of a chapter of the Koran, which the angel Gabriel (Hail be to him) and brought to the Prophet (the mercy of God and hail to him), people of bad faith had gone to see Mocailama, who had told them, "To me also has the angel Gabriel brought a similar chapter. For which reasons he and a great number of Arabs have incurred the ire of the Almighty. ![]() On this subject it is told of Mocailama, the imposter, the son of Kaiss (whom God may curse!), that he pretended to have the gift of prophecy, and imitated the Prophet of God (blessings and salutations to him). The woman inhaling the perfumes employed by the man gets like into a swoon and the use of scents has often proved a strong help to man, and assisted him in getting possession of a woman. The use of perfumes by men as well as by women, excites to the act of copulation.
