\n And from Ibn Abbas who said, \u2018The Messenger of Allah -saww said: \n \u2018When Adam -as descended, with knowledge and he -as would also learn from the Books and the Messengers -as , Iblees -la said to his Lord -azwj the High, \u2018O Lord -azwj , What were the Books and the Messengers -as ?\u2019 He -azwj Said: \u2018The Messengers were the Angels and the Prophets -as (from Me -azwj ), and the Books were the Torah, and the Evangel, and the Psalms, and the Furqan\u2019.

He -la said, \u2018And what is my book?\u2019 Allah -azwj replied: \u2018Your book (writing) are the Tattoos, and your reading is the poetry, and your messengers are the soothsayers, and your food is that on which Allah -azwj \u2019s Name is not mentioned, and your drink is every intoxicant, and your charity is the lie, and your house is the (public) bath, and your entrapments are the women, and your Muezzin (Caller) is the flute, and your mosque are the market places\u2019.
