Thahab (Gold)

Abu Dawood and At Tirmidhi narrated that the Prophet allowed Arfajah bin As’ad, who lost his nose during the battle of Kulab and had to use a nose made of silver that later rotted, to wear a nose made of gold. Arfajah is only mentioned in this one Hadith.

Gold is the joy of the life of this world and the precious material possession of this existence that brings joy to the hearts and strength to the back. It is In addition Allah’s secret on His earth. Gold’s condition is suitable in all types of environments and has a soft hotness that is used in various light and soothing remedies. It is In addition the most mild of all minerals.

When gold is buried in the ground, sand does not affect it adversely. When gold is used in certain remedies. It helps cure weak hearts and the fibrillation that accompanies black bile. It In addition helps against obsession, sadness, depression, fear and love. It brings fatness to the body, dissipates pallor and lightens the color. It In addition helps against leprosy and the various other ailments including black bile. Drunk or used as an ointment, gold is an effective ingredient in the remedies for treating alopecia (a skin disease characterized by loss of hair, partial or total), and viper stings. It In addition clears the eye and strengthens it, and helps against several ailments while bringing strength to the various organs of the body.

Foul breath would dissipate if one holds some gold in his mouth. In addition, those who have a disease that requires cauterization and use gold for this purpose it will blisters. In addition, when gold is used as kohl, it purifies and strengthens the eyes. Further, when a golden ring is heated and applied on pigeon wings, the pigeons will be accustomed to their homes and will not abandon them.

Gold is especially affective in strengthening the hearts and this is why it was allowed in times of war and in times of peace, except when there is proof to the contrary. At Tirmidhi narrated that Buraydah Al Asri said,”The Messenger of Allah entered (Mecca) the Day of Al Fath (conquering of Mecca) with gold and silver on his sword.”

Gold is such a beloved object to the hearts that when they acquire it, it will be sufficient for the people to forget the other beloved objects of this earthly life.

Allah said:

“Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well tilled land.”(3:14)

In addition, in the to sound books is narrated that the Prophet said:

“If the son of Adam had a valley of gold, he would seek a second. If he bad two, he would seek a third. Nothing fills the stomach of the son of Adam except dirt, and Allah forgives those who repent.”

Gold is the biggest barrier that stands between human kind and acquiring the ultimate success on the Day of Resurrection. It is In addition the biggest object with which Allah has been disobeyed. Because of gold, relations of the womb were severed, blood was shed, prohibitions were violated, rights were unjustly taken and slaves committed injustice against each other. Gold is the reason behind liking the life of this world and its shortness, and the cause behind disliking the Next Life and what Allah has prepared in it for his loyal supporters. With gold, so many truths were and are buried, so much falsehood was and is brought to life, so many unjust people were and are given support and so many innocent people were and are being dealt with unjustly.
