side. They will not enter Jannah and they will not smell its fragrance which is perceptible from such and such a
distance

[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has the following three important points:
1. It has a warning for those who oppress people. Flogging in Hadd and Qisas does not come in the category of
oppression because oppression in the real sense is perpetrated when whipping is done as a means of tyranny and
cruelty.
2. It has a stern warning for those women who go about without wearing the Islamic-type veil and take to adornment
to display their charms, which is the habit of immoral women. Such women also adorn their hair in different styles
and lure men with their coquetry and amorous playfulness. They are shameless and also make others likewise,
shameless.
This Hadith is one of the signs of the Prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH), the last of the Prophets of Allah, because
the evils which he had prophesied in this Hadith have been fulfilled. Muslim women have adopted all these evils and
shameless fashions without any fear of punishment in the Hereafter. May Allah relieve us from these evils.
