Question
A poem by al-Ḥallāj reports using the “eye” of one of these objects to see Allah, who answers his question “who are you?” by saying “you.” A hadith holds that dhikr polishes the “rust” of these objects, which can be shiny, tied with a knot, turned upside down, or wrapped. This sort of object names the “weakest” of three ways to fulfill the duty of ḥisbah, or “enjoining right and forbidding wrong.” A tiny black spot was removed from one of these objects by a pair of figures carrying a jug and a platter of snow while its owner lived with his foster-mother (*) Halima. The Quran exclusively uses the verb ṭaba‘a to denote how Allah “seals” these objects. One of these objects belonging to Muhammad was “washed” by the angel Jibreel. These objects, called qalb in Arabic, name a personal form of jihad. For 10 points, the scriptures of the Abrahamic religions refer to the metaphorical “hardening” of what organs? ■END■
