just started reading 'min adabil Islam' by Syeikh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah... (lent by Hassanuddin -one of my favourite students and future 'ulama of Sg insyaAllah!).
upon reaching a part about Adab when approaching a house, and how it is good for one to purposely make some noise to let the hosts/occupants know that visitors are coming, I was reminded of how the men in Syria would purposely say out loud 'YALLAH! YALLAH', whenever they have to pass by a place where there could possibly be women inside; be it the masjid or house.
So that the women will be prepared and be all-covered up (esp. for the mutanaqqibaat) and hush their conversations for awhile, etc.
best kan? :')
