Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: I found in some tafsirs (exegeses) that the elder of Madyan, the elder of Madyan who married his daughter to Musa (peace be upon him), was Shu'ayb (peace be upon him), and that Shu'ayb was after Lut (peace be upon him) at that time. What is the stronger position in this matter?
The Shaykh:
This is not established. It is not established that it was Shu'ayb; rather, this is the opinion of some exegetes. It is not established that Shu'ayb was the elder. The Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him), Ibn Taymiyyah, refutes this and says that Shu'ayb was an Arab and his language was Arabic, whereas the language of Musa (peace be upon him) was Syriac or Latin. How could he converse with him when their languages were different? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. He says: Teacher.
The Shaykh:
He did not say it was Shu'ayb. It was not mentioned that this great elder, the old man, was Shu'ayb? Yes.
