Meaning Of Words Naqis-ul-Aqal And Naqis-ud-din Used In Hadith
my question is that here dr shahzad saleem describes in his book that “the word ‘”(عقل)” here
means “worldly affairs” since it is used in conjugation with the word “دین ” (religion).” .is it a rule of Arabic that if word “عقل” comes with “دین” the ” عقل“means wordily affairs. anyone please give example of this usage of word عقل+دین as mention by sir i will be thankful to him?
reference from book:
The following
Hadith is generally presented to support the
view that women are less sensible than men:
Islam and Women: Misconceptions and Misperceptions 12
Abu# Sa‘id Khudri narrates that the Prophet (sws) while once
talking to a group of women on the occasion of Eid ul Fitr or
Eid ul Adha said: ‘… and I have seen no one more than you
rob even a resolute man of his senses in spite of being Naqisati
‘Aql wa Din’. They said: ‘O Allah’s Messenger, what is this
Naqs in religious and worldly affairs?’ He said: ‘Is not the
evidence of a woman equal to half of a man’s’. They said:
‘Yes’. He said: ‘This is their Naqs in worldly affairs’. He said:
‘Is it not a fact that when they enter the period of menses they
neither pray nor fast’. They said: ‘Yes’. Whereupon he said:
‘This is the Naqs in religious affairs’. (Bukhari, No: 298)
This misconception has arisen because of a wrong translation
of the Arabic phrase Naqisati ‘Aql wa Din. The word ‘Naqs’ has
generally been translated as ‘defective’ keeping in view the Urdu
meaning of the word. However, in Arabic, the verb ‘ ’
(Naqasa) means ‘to reduce’ and the word ‘ ’ (‘Aql) here
means ‘worldly affairs’ since it is used in conjugation with the
word ‘ ’ (religion).
