What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Musaylima's poem to the false prophetess Sajah uses makhda' for a bedchamber, showing the word never meant a cupboard.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth digresses to the story of Sajah, a woman from the Yamamah region who claimed prophethood after the Prophet, in the time of Abu Bakr, and met the false prophet Musaylima. He remarks that problems always came from Najd, citing a hadith about it. He says Musaylima recited to her lines about God making women pregnant and then proposed marriage in an explicit poem offering to take her in the bayt or in the makhda', a poem linguists cite in explaining words, which Mufti says he came across about nineteen years earlier while memorising the Quran. He uses it to show that makhda' meant a chamber, not a cupboard, before returning to the topic.

didn't have lamps in them so people never had land and so naturally because this the actual sleeping quarters was right in in one corner and at a distant location it would naturally not always but often maybe dark for sleeping purposes make sense so that's the that's why it's not because they would say all you know let's all get in the dark and do things like this okay now so I just wanted to clear this up so he has no idea what a master is and this goes back to those of you by the way those of you that know the famous

9:25

you probably won't know the poem but ma salem al khattab for example in his in that famous poem where he marries that the prophetess the the famous she's also a false prophet what's her name suggest a jacket availabe yeah so it's ok those of you that don't know there was a after the prophet there was this obviously there were many false prophets that emerged during the time of a worker or the alarm on amongst the Musa Lama who's referred to as ma salem al kitab but there were other people as well and so amongst them was such a at ala BIA this

10:04

woman who emerged as a prophet she said she was a prophet and you know she had people she had a following she was from I believe the Yamamah region Yamamah not your mama but which is around the midst region of Arabia so it's always the nudge these in on a side know it's always nudged where the problems are coming from and you know this is why the Prophet said in hadith that nudged nudged will always have problems will cause problems but so she merges from that region of nudged and she had a

10:41

following so she meets up with ma salem al khattab so the the the fake I mean she was claiming to be a prophet female prophet and mercy claiming to be a prophet they met up and they have this kind of negotiation so he proposes marriage to her and before he proposes marriage she says that what is being revealed to you or something so he reads this these kind of verses about don't you see how God like God saying don't you see how we made women pregnant and how we made them so he reads a lot of verses to do with pregnancy and maybe

11:20

she was a bit broody at that because he does a lot of this and then he proposes marriage say to her that you know what how about we marry and she says well suggest a little beer says all right you know that one she was also hit in 1990 you know because he reads this poem to her when he says he says what do you say she says yes so he says all right Oh me Elaine Nicky hoo yeah alik hill mob job he says that Stan he says get ready for naughty naughty you know

11:59

that's actually the term for sex so in Arabic but not naughty naughty but his meek so he says oh me alone Nicky away I like hill mob job for in shitty fil BTW what him he felt much down and he says that you know if you want he says it's time tank um if you want in the bait which was the main property area main house area or wine shitty film and ah oh if you want in the chambers obviously wasn't saying if you want let's get in the cupboard well that

12:39

would have been an interesting take if you want in the cupboard she gained the cupboard wonderful world of gnarnia so he says wine shitty film musta wine shitty silicon a key wine shitty allah arabic wine shitty be thor Lucy what in TV ESMA it's a very naughty naughty for him of it's actually used in a lot of the Arabic books for to explain words what they actually mean believe it or not I

13:17

actually came across it probably about 19 years ago when I was memorizing the Quran to do with the verse Salah oka you know the Salak to do what is this verse what does this verb mean cilok to kind of like lay out to spread out so and part of the evidence that's many poets many linguists like Ravi Berlusconi and other people will use is this poem that weighing shitty Salah pinaki and if you want will lay you out here it gets naughty you know this one x-rated poetry

13:53

well shitty Allah Allah and he says if you want we're gonna go on all fours so that's the actual wording of the poem and then he finishes it by saying and this is the kind of poetry that people just very blase they just mention by the way so you learn all this stuff whilst you're learning Arabic looming so you're like huh and he says and if you want oh and if you talk about boasting he's like and if you want I'll only use two thirds

14:32

and if you want I'll use the whole of it and then she her famous response was actually no I'll go with the whole of it she says that was revealed to me that so that was the actual story I'm not making that up that was the story of sagittal abiy and salem al-kitab but anyway we digress as we often do right coming back from the word must now write a must that didn't mean a closet although many of these you know these strongly homophobic
