 one of my brothers told me about the wonderful connection that he had with hawa in one of the houses opposite him and there was a place in both houses where one of them overlooked the other so she would stand for him in that place and there was some distance between them and greet him with her hand wrapped in her shirt. so he addressed her inquiring about that and she replied perhaps he sensed something about our situation and someone other than me stopped for you and greeted you and you responded to him so the suspicion was confirmed. this is a sign between me and you so if you see an uncovered hand pointing towards you with peace it is not my hand so do not respond.
ومن بديع الوصل ما حدثني به بعض إخواني أنه كان في بعض المنازل المصاقبة له هوى، وكان في المنزلين موضع مطلع من أحدهما على الآخر، فكانت تقف له في ذلك الموضع، وكان فيه بعض البعد ، فتسلم عليه ويدها ملفوفة في قميصها. فخاطبها مستخبرا لها عن ذلك فأجابته إنه ربما أحس من أمرنا شيء فوقف لك غيري فسلم عليك فرددت عليه فصح الظن، فهذه علامة بيني وبينك، فإذا رأيت يدا مكشوفة تشير نحوك بالسلام فليست يدي، فلا تجاوب.
