As salaamu alaykum,
I always thought Majunuun Layla was a she
Thanx Mawaddah I was about to start ranting again!!
About driving ..well it's a pretty hard question..I know whenever my uncle useed to start his car he used to say this supplication... I can't remember what it was
and also there's a hadeeth that the Prophet sallaalaahu 3alayhi wassallam was on a camel with a few of his wives and he was being driven by a habashiy man.. so the sahaabiy was singing to the camels to make them go faster (cause it is known that when you sing to the camels their pace quickens..) so the prophet sallaalaahu 3alayhi wassallam said to him: YA Anjasha! Rawaydan sawqaka bil qawaareer".. O' Anjasha.. Go Slowly/Gently on the Bottles...
The Ulamaah have said (about his reference to his wives as "Bottles")
That it is either out of two things...
1) when he said that he meant that they might become maftuun by his voice, so he should stop and this would cause the pace of the caamels to go slow.
2) His refernce to them as bottles was because women are Da3eef/Weak so if the pace quickens it might have an affect on them/do them harm...
And Allah knows best!!
