They will never enter Paradise or even smell its fragrance, although its fragrance can be detected from such and such a distance.\u201d (Narrated by Ahmad and by Muslim in al-Saheeh). please do some taafsir on it so that i can get to undertand it?.","answer":"Praise be to Allaah.  \r\nThis hadeeth speaks of two types of people whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had not seen, as they would appear after his time, and their destiny would be Hell because of their sins. The scholars regarded the appearance of these two types as one of the minor signs of the Hour. They are as follows: \r\n\r\n1 \u2013 \u201cMen with whips like the tails of cattle\u201d \u2013 what is meant is that those who strike people for no legitimate reason, like the oppressive police or others, whether that is on the orders of the state or otherwise. \r\n\r\nAl-Nawawi said:  With regard to those who would have whips, they are those who work for the police. Sharh al-Nawawi \u2018ala Saheeh Muslim, 17\/191. \r\n\r\nAl-Sakhaawi said: They are now the helpers of the oppressors, and usually it refers to the worst group around the ruler. It may also apply to unjust rulers. Al-Ishaa\u2019ah li Ashraat il-Saa\u2019ah, p. 119. \r\n\r\nThe evidence that their appearance will be one of the signs of the Hour is a report narrated by Imam Ahmad in which it says: At the end of time there will appear men from this ummah with whips like the tails of cattle. They will go out in the morning under the anger of Allaah and will come back in the evening under His wrath.\u201d Al-Musnad, 5\/315; classed as saheeh by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak, 4\/483; and by Ibn Hajar in al-Qawl al-Musaddad fi\u2019l-Dhabb \u2018an al-Musnad, p. 53-54.\r\n\r\nThe second type is \u201cwomen who are clothed yet naked, walking with an enticing gait, with something on their heads that looks like the humps of camels, leaning to one side.\u201d  Al-Nawawi said concerning the meaning of this passage: al-kaasiyaat al-\u2018aariyaat (translated here as \u201cclothed yet naked\u201d) means that they will uncover part of their bodies to show their beauty, so they will be clothed yet naked. And it was said that they will wear thin clothes which shows what is beneath them, so they will be clothed yet virtually naked. With regard to the phrase Maa\u2019ilaat mumeelaat (translated here as \u201cwalking with an enticing gait\u201d), it was said that it means: deviating from obedience to Allaah and from the commandment to guard their chastity, etc. Mumeelaat means, teaching others to do what they do. And it was said that Maa\u2019ilaat means walking with an enticing gait and mumeelaat means moving their shoulders. And it was said that it means that they try to tempt men by means of showing their adornments. \r\n\r\nWith regard to the phrase Ru\u2019oosahunna ka asnimat il-bukht (translated here as \u201cwith something on their heads that looks like the humps of camels\u201d), this may mean that they make their heads look bigger with veils and turbans, which are wrapped around the head, so that they look like the humps of camels. This is the well-known interpretation. Al-Maaziri said: it may be that what is meant is that they will not lower their gaze in the presence of men, rather they will look directly at them.\r\n\r\nSharh al-Nawawi \u2018ala Saheeh Muslim, 17\/191. \r\n\r\nShaykh Ibn \u2018Uthaymeen said: The phrase \u201cclothed yet naked\u201d has been interpreted to mean that they wear short clothes that do not cover the \u2018awrah that must be covered. And it has been interpreted as meaning that they wear light, thin clothes that do not prevent others from seeing the woman\u2019s skin underneath. And it has been interpreted as meaning that they wear tight clothes that conceal the skin from sight but still show off the woman\u2019s charms. \r\n\r\nFataawa al-Shaykh Muhamamd ibn \u2018Uthaymeen, 2\/825. \r\n\r\nThis hadeeth contains a stern warning against committing these two sins: \r\n\r\n1-     Oppressing the people and striking them unlawfully\r\n\r\n2-     Women making a wanton display of themselves and showing their charms and not adhering to correct Islamic hijab and noble Islamic manners. \r\n\r\nThis hadeeth is one of the miracles of Prophethood, for these two types of people have appeared, and they exist now, as al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said.\r\n\r\n See also the answer to question no. 14627.\r\n\r\nIslam Q&A","status":1,"created_at":"2014-10-25T20:51:56.000000Z","updated_at":"2014-10-25T20:51:56.000000Z","language_id":1,"fatawacate_id":30,"parent_id":7209,"author_id":"","books":[],"articles":[],"videos":[],"audios":[],"author_name":"","category_name":"Commentary on Hadeeth","category_slug":"","get_date":"2014-10-25"},"translations":[],"fatawa_books":[],"fatawa_articles":[],"fatawa_videos":[],"fatawa_audios":[],"url":"http:\/\/islamland.com\/eng\/api\/fatawas\/7210"}
