I thus went to Mu\u2018aaz (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) and asked him regarding this incident. Mu\u2018aaz (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) narrated the following to me:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cRasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) had entrusted the dates of sadaqah to me for safekeeping. Thus, I placed these dates in one of my rooms. However, I would daily find that the dates had decreased. So I went to Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and complained to him of the dates decreasing, to which Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said, \u2018It is the work of a Shaitaan. Wait for him in ambush.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I waited in ambush for this Shaitaan, and after a short portion of the night had elapsed, he appeared in the form of an elephant. When he reached the door, he changed his form and entered through a crack in the door. He then approached the dates and began to swallow them. I firstly checked that my clothing was tightly secured and then confronted and apprehended him saying, \u2018I testify that there is no deity besides Allah and that Muhammad (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) is His servant and messenger! O enemy of Allah! You have rushed to take the dates of sadaqah whereas the poor are more deserving of it than you! I am definitely going to take you to Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), and he will disgrace you!\u2019 When he heard this, he began to plead with me and promised me that he would not return (and I thus released him).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The following morning, I went to Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) who asked me, \u2018What happened to the one you captured?\u2019 I replied, \u2018He promised me that he would not return,\u2019 Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said, \u2018He will return, so wait for him in ambush.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I waited for him on the second night and again captured him. He again pleaded and promised that he would not return, and so I again released him. In the morning, I proceeded to Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) to inform him of what had transpired. However, before I could reach Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), I heard someone calling out, \u2018Where is Mu\u2018aaz?\u2019 When I reached Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), he asked me, \u2018What happened to your prisoner?\u2019 I told Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) what had happened, to which he replied, \u2018He will return, so wait for him in ambush.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I waited for him for a third night. On this occasion, when I apprehended him, I addressed him saying, \u2018O enemy of Allah! You have already promised me twice that you will not return! I will now definitely take you to Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and he will disgrace you!\u2019 The Shaitaan pleaded, \u2018I am a Shaitaan who has dependents and I have come from Naseebeen! If I was able to find some food closer to Naseebeen, I would not have come to you! We used to live in this city of yours (Madeenah Munawwarah). However, after your Nabi (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) was deputed, there were two verses of your Quraan that were revealed, and these two verses chased us away. We thus went to Naseebeen. If these two verses are recited in any home, no Shaitaaan will enter that home for three days. If you release me, I will teach you these two verses.\u2019 I agreed to release him, after which he said, \u2018The two verses are Aayatul Kursi and the concluding verses of Surah Baqarah, commencing from \u2018Aamanar Rasulu\u2019 until the end of the surah.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The following morning, I set out to inform Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) of what had occurred, when I heard someone announce, \u2018Where is Mu\u2018aaz bin Jabal?\u2019 When I entered into the presence of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam), he enquired, \u2018What happened to your captive?\u2019 I replied, \u2018He promised me that he would not return,\u2019 and I also told Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) of the two verses that he had taught me. When he heard this, Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) remarked, \u2018The wretch has spoken the truth, whereas he is normally a liar.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I would thereafter recite these verses on the dates of sadaqah and would no longer find any decrease in their quantity.\u201d (Tabraani &#8211; Majma\u2018uz Zawaa\u2019id #10920 &amp; Fathul Baari vol. 4, pgs. 614 &amp; 615)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lessons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. The Quraan Majeed is a powerful means of protection from Shaitaan, black magic, etc. Hence, regularly reciting the Quraan Majeed within the home is a very effective means of protecting the home from evil forces. Furthermore, there are certain verses in the Quraan Majeed that are especially powerful in gaining protection. Most of these verses have been gathered in a compilation known as the \u2018Manzil\u2019 which can be recited daily or more frequently if required. Click \u2018here\u2019 to download the Manzil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. When reciting the verses of protection and du\u2018aas of protection, it is important for a person to have strong \u2018yaqeen\u2019 (conviction and faith) in the power of these verses and their effectiveness. Hence, they should be read with presence of mind and not merely read in an absent-minded manner, as if one is fulfilling a routine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. The Shayaateen and Jinn are notorious liars, as explained by Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) himself. Hence, the information given by Jinn, even if it be through the medium of an \u2018aamil, cannot be trusted and relied on \u2013 especially if this information accuses any person of being responsible for the black magic, etc. Sadly, people often accept this information and, as a result, commit the major sin of breaking family ties and accusing people of black magic, whereas they have no proof at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt;Download Musjid Poster\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/download\/inspirational\/powerful-protection-1.jpg\">Page 1<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/download\/inspirational\/powerful-protection-2.jpg\">Page 2<\/a>&lt;&lt;&lt;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15741,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-inspirational-incidents"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15739"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15739\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21457,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15739\/revisions\/21457"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
