ʾAʿūdhu bi-ʿizzati Allāhi wa-qudratihi min sharri mā ʾajidu wa-ʾuḥādhir

 I seek refuge in the might and power of Allah from the evil of what I feel and what I fear

عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ أَنَّهُ شَكَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَعًا يَجِدُهُ فِي جَسَدِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى الَّذِي يَأْلَمُ مِنْ جَسَدِكَ وَقُلْ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ثَلَاثًا وَقُلْ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ: أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ ". قَالَ: فَفَعَلْتُ فَأَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ مَا كَانَ بِي. رَوَاهُ مُسلم

 صَحِيح   (الألباني)

Uthman b. Abul ‘As said he complained to God’s messenger of a pain he had in his body, and he told him to put his hand on the part of his body which was sore and say three times “In the name of Allah,” and seven times, “I seek refuge in the might and power of Allah from the evil of what I feel and what I fear.” He said he did so, and God removed his trouble.

Muslim transmitted it.

Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani)

‏في الأمَان والدَّلال؛ تزهِر المَرأة كمَا خُلقت لا كمَا طُلِب مِنها.

Arabic Language

"حُرّيتي أن أكون كما لا يريدون لي أن أكون."

“My freedom is to be what they don’t want me to be.”

This was not an insult, but a subtle form of admiration and coquetry. The image is delicate: when a full-figured woman wears bracelets, they fit closely around her wrists and do not rattle or clang. Their silence becomes a metaphor for softness, fullness, and feminine beauty.

The Mamluk-era poet Kamal al-Din Ibn Nabih captures this aesthetic in his verse:

بِيضٌ سَوالِفُهُ لُعْسٌ مَرَاشِفُهُ

نُعْسٌ نَواظِرُهُ خُرْسٌ أَساوِرُهُ

Her temples gleam in radiant white, her lips are honeyed dusk.
