This is not true!

This is an issue of dispute and claiming that these are all authentic needs solid proof which isn’t there as you don’t have the chain of narrators to Ibn Abbas whom himself said that a woman should cover her face and show only one eye and he portrayed this to his companions showing them how it should be done!

There is on YouTube a presentation I made with Abu Osama Ath’thahabi in Birmingham in 2011 or 2012 on Niqab and I believe it is found on my channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8cbNhPD0kc

Is this true? Ibn Abbas (ra) is one of the most learned men of the Sahaba (Companions). Prophet Muhammad ((may Peace Be Upon Him)) even prayed for him saying “O Allah, make him acquire a deep understanding of the religion of Islam and instruct him in the meaning and interpretation of things.” He with reference to Surah An-Nur “except only that which is apparent” as Ibn Kathir narrated with a Sahih (authentic) chain of narrators, said it’s “The hand, the ring, and the face.” Abdullah Ibn Omar Ibn Al-Khattab (ra) said “the face and the two hands”. Anas Ibn Malik (ra) said “the hand and the ring”. Ibn Hazm said: “all of this (statements) are in the highest of accuracy. And so are statements by Ali (ra), Aisha (ra), and other Tabi’een”.

Is this Saheeh? The prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Who recites blessings upon me 10 times in the morning and 10 times in the evening will obtain my intercession on the Day of Resurrection.” At-Tabrani reported this Hadith together with two chain of transmissions. One of them is reliable (Jayyid). See Haithami’s Majma’ Az-Zawa’id 10/120, and Al-Albani’s Sahih At-Targhib Wat-Tarhib 1/273.

Is it true that when we say bismillah, shaytan becomes as small as a fly? Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad, that a person who was riding behind the Prophet said, “The Prophet’s animal tripped, so I said, `Cursed Shaytan.’ The Prophet said, Do not say, ‘Cursed Shaytan,’ for if you say these words, Satan becomes arrogant and says, ‘With my strength I made him fall.’ When you say, ‘Bismillah,’ Satan will become as small as a fly.)
