“Kafin in faɗi abun da yake raina zan miki tambaya ɗaya don Allah, shin na miki laifi ne?”
Yanda Salima ta yi maganar ya bawa Juwairiyya tausayi ainun nan da nan kuma ta ji kunya ya rufeta domin ta aikata abun da bata son mutane su dinga yiwa wani wato wulaƙanci. Laifi bana kowa bane sai Muhammad, amma zafin kishi yasa ta hukunta Hafiz sannan gashi Salima ma ta samu rabonta, me yasa ta kasa haƙuri har ta bari laifin wani ya shafi innocent souls irin waɗannan mutane biyun?
