Welcome to Fun Islamic Facts
Where I share fun facts about Muhammed and the Qur'an
Whenever jihadis go on a killing spree.
In fun fact three
we learned that Satan pees in your ears
In fun fact six
we saw that Satan hides in your nose when you sleep.
But many of you were wondering
"What does Satan do when he hears the adhan-the Islamic call to prayer?"
Forunately for us, Muhammed's followers wondered the same thing
And the prophet of Islam had the answer
Sahih al-Bukhari number 1231 Narrated Abu Hurairah:
Allah's messenger said
"When the call for Salat (prayer) is made
Satan takes to his heels passing wind so that he may not hear the Adhan."
Sunan an-Nasai number 671 Narrated Abu Hurairah:
The Prophet said,
"When the call for the prayer is given, the Shaitan takes to his heels.
passing wind loudly so that he will not hear the call to prayer.
When the call to prayer is finished, he comes back."
Muslim commentators are careful to point out that Satan literally farts
when he hears the call to prayer.
As the commentator for this edition of Sunan an-Nasai notes
"Breaking wind evidently signifies the literal breaking of wind.
If Satan can eat and drink, then why deny other bodily functions?
Some have understood the said phrase to mean abhorrence,
but this interpretation is without evidence."
According to Muslim preachers, one of the virtues of Islam
Is its simplicity.
And it's difficult to argue with their claim that Islam is simple
since, with all the talk of Satan
peeing in your ears and farting and hiding in your nose
Islam sounds like it was invented by a five year old.
