(→Meteors as stars fired at devils: Got rid off the long hadith text and replaced with a link to it instead now that we have the shooting stars page showing the text, and also included the third Al Tirmidhi hadith. I also changed the translation of Q15:16-18 to match the same words as on the main page.) |
