The questioner:
Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. May Allah do you good, may Allah do you good, O Shaykh Salih.
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you.
The questioner:
May Allah preserve you and reward you with good, and make the next life for Islam and the Muslims.
The presenter:
Amen, amen.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. I have Surat al-A'raf here. An explanation of two verses regarding bad behavior at weddings. That is the saying of Allah the Exalted: I seek refuge[An-Nahl 16:98] [Al-A'raf 7:189]. [Al-A'raf 7:190] I do not know what is intended in this verse?
The presenter:
May Allah bless you, thank you.
The Shaykh:
The explanation of this verse came in the hadith, and it concerns Adam and his wife. She used to become pregnant, and every time she did, she would miscarry. So Satan came to her and said, "If you do not name this fetus 'Abd al-Harith'—meaning you worship him other than Allah—if you do not name him that, then I will cause it to fall. And I will make for you the horns of a gazelle that will split your belly." So they feared, and the love of a child overtook them, and they named him 'Abd al-Harith. And thereby they erred in this naming, so Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, rebuked them, but they repented to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, because it is not permissible to make a name a slave to other than Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
The presenter:

بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِIt is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he covers her, she carries a light burden and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allah, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful."
هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّاهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِيفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ فَلَمَّا أَثْقَلَت دَّعَوَا اللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ آتَيْتَنَا صَالِحًا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَBut when He gives them a good [child], they ascribe partners to Him concerning that which He has given them. Exalted is Allah above what they associate with Him.
فَلَمَّا آتَاهُمَا صَالِحًا جَعَلَا لَهُ شُرَكَاءَ فِيمَا آتَاهُمَا فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَThe presenter:
