Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding His saying, the Exalted, "and what[Al-Muddaththir 74:49]," does this apply if the preacher speaks at length and moves from one topic to another, and I get bored? And every time he preaches, I get bored. Does this fall under this verse?
