Reminder to the smart phone generation:
Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: These privies are frequented by the jinns and devils. So when anyone amongst you goes there, he should say: “I seek refuge in Allah from male and female devils.”
It may be indelicate to bring this up, but…
I’m sure I am not the only one who has noticed the inordinate amount of “selfies” that seem to be taken in bathrooms. And I am sure I am not the only one who noticed that people are spending way more time in the toilet than they used to, because, let’s be honest, they are playing on their phones.
Brothers and Sisters…let’s not adopt the habits of the shayateen, frequenting the places they frequent, and using these places as places where we amuse ourselves and pass the time. This should be a place where you spend the least amount of time possible, not extend the time beyond what is necessary because you are watching YouTube, browsing Facebook, taking “selfies” in the mirrror, or, (really?) chatting online from inside the toilet stall!
Just sayin’…
