    Chapter 2: HE WHO SEES A WOMAN, AND HIS HEART IS AFFECTED, SHOULD COME TO HIS
    WIFE, AND SHOULD HAVE INTERCOURSE WITH HER

    Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saw a woman, and
    so he came to his wife, Zainab, as she was tanning a leather and had sexual
    intercourse with her. He then went to his Companions and told them: The woman
    advances and retires in the shape of a devil, so when one of you sees a woman,
    he should come to his wife, for that will repel what he feels in his heart.

    Jabir heard Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) say: When a woman fascinates
    any one of you and she captivates his heart, he should go to his wife and have
    an intercourse with her, for it would repel what he feels.

    Chapter 9: SEEKING CONSENT OF AL-THAYYIBIN MARRIAGE IN WORDS AND OF A VIRGIN IN
    (MEANINGFUL) SILENCE

    Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
    upon him) as having said: A woman without a husband (or divorced or a widow)
    must not be married until she is consulted, and a virgin must not be married
    until her permission is sought. They asked the Prophet of Allah (may peace be
    upon him): How her (virgin's) consent can be solicited? He (the Holy Prophet)
    said: That she keeps silence.

    Chapter 10: IT IS PERMISSIBLE FOR THE FATHER TO GIVE THE HAND OF HIS DAUGHTER IN
    MARRIAGE EVEN WHEN SHE IS NOT FULLY GROWN UP

    'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be
    upon him) married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his
    house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he
    (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old.

    Chapter 14: EXCELLENCE OF EXMANCIPATING A SLAVE-GIRL AND THEN MARRYING HER

    Abu Musa reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said about one
    who emancipated a slave woman, and then married her, that for him there are two
    rewards.

    Chapter 17: IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE TO MARRY A WOMAN WHO IS DIVORCED BY THREE
    PRONOUNCEMENTS UNTIL SHE IS MARRIED TO ANOTHER MAN AND HE HAS A SEXUAL
    INTERCOURSE WITH HER, AND THEN HE ABANDONS HER AND SHE COMPLETES HER 'IDDA

    'A'Asha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: A person divorced his wife by
    three pronouncements; then another person married her and he also divorced her
    without having sexual intercourse with her. Then the first husband of her
    intended to remarry her. It was about such a case that Allah's Messenger (may
    peace be upon him) was asked, whereupon he said: No, until the second one has
    tasted her sweetness as the first one had tasted.

    Chapter 19: PERMISSIBILITY OF HAVING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH ONE'S WIFE FROM THE
    FRONT OR FROM BEHIND AVOIDING THE ANUS

    Jabir (b. Abdullah) (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Jews used to
    say that when one comes to one's wife through the vagina, but being on her back,
    and she becomes pregnant, the child has a squint. So the verse came down:" Your
    wives are your ti'Ith; go then unto your tilth, as you may desire."

    This hadith has been reported on the authority of Jabir through another chain of
    transmitters, but in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Zuhri there is
    an addition (of these words):" If he likes he may (have intercourse) being on
    the back or in front of her, but it should be through one opening (vagina)."

    Chapter 22: AL AZL (INCOMPLETE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE): COITUS INTERRUPTUS

    Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa'id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa'id,
    did you hear Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-'azl? He
    said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
    on the expedition to the Bi'l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab
    women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives,
    (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have
    sexual intercourse with them but by observing 'azl (Withdrawing the male sexual
    organ before emission of semen to avoid-conception). But we said: We are doing
    an act whereas Allah's Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked
    Allah's Mes- senger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if
    you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of
    Resurrection will be born.

    Chapter 23: IT IS FORBIDDEN TO HAVE INTERCOURSE WITH A PREGNANT SLAVE-WOMAN

    Abu Darda' (Allah be pleased with him) related from the Prophet of Allah (may
    peace be upon him) that he came upon a woman who was in the advanced stage of
    pregnancy at the door of a tent. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Perhaps he (the man
    accompanying her) intends to cohabit with her. They said: Yes. Thereupon Allah's
    Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I have decided to curse him with such a
    curse as may go along with him to his grave. How can he own him (the child to be
    born) and that is not lawful for him, and how can he take him as a servant for
    that is not lawful for him?

    Chapter 24: PERMISSIBILITY OF INTERCOURSE WITH A SUCKLING LADY AND DISAPPROVAL
    OF 'AZL

    Judama daughter of Wahb, sister of Ukkasha (Allah be pleased with her).
    reported: I went to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) along with some
    persons and he was saying: I intended to prohibit cohabitation with the suckling
    women, but I considered the Greeks and Persians, and saw that they suckle their
    children and this thing (cohabitation) does not do any harm to them (to the
    suckling women). Then they asked him about 'azl, whereupon he said. That is the
    secret (way of) burying alive, and Ubaidullah has made this addition in the
    hadith transmitted by al-Muqri and that is:" When the one buried alive is
    asked."

    Chapter 27: ONE SUCKLING OR TWO DO NOT MAKE MARRIAGE UNLAWFUL

    Umm al-Fadl reported: A bedouin came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)
    when he was in my house and said: Allah's Apostle, I have had a wife and I
    married another besides her, and my first wife claimed that she had suckled once
    or twice my newly married wife, thereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon
    him) said: One suckling or two do not make the (marriage) unlawful.

    ally) into (our house), whereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said:
    Suckle him. She said: How can I suckle him as he is a grown-up man? Allah's
    Messenger (may peace be upon him) smiled and said: I already know that he is a
    young man 'Amr has made this addition in his narration that he participated in
    the Battle of Badr and in the narration of Ibn 'Umar (the words are): Allah's
    Messenger (may peace be upon him) laughed.

    Russian Air Force Chief Says
    Official 9-11 Story Impossible

    [Posted 13 September 2001]

    As one considers the terrible events of Sept. 11 and observes U.S. media reaction, so pervasive and consistently military that it appears choreographed, doubts increase. The following is from pravda.ru, a Russian language Website (politically centrist, nationalist). In some places the English translation is confusing, so we added alternate phrasing in brackets.
    - Jared Israel

    [Start report from Russia] "Generally it is impossible to carry out an act of terror on the scenario which was used in the USA yesterday." This was said by the commander-in-chief of the Russian Air Force, Anatoli Kornukov. "We had such facts [i.e., events or incidents] too", - said the general straightforwardly. Kornukov did not specify what happened in Russia and when and to what extent it resembled the events in the US. He did not advise what was the end of air terrorists' attempts either.

    But the fact the general said that means a lot. As it turns out the way the terrorists acted in America is not unique. The notification and control system for the air transport in Russia does not allow uncontrolled flights and leads to immediate reaction of the anti-missile defense, Kornukov said. "As soon as something like that happens here, I am reported about that right away and in a minute we are all up," - said the general. [End report from Russia.]
