Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
O Allah, send prayers and peace upon him.
The presenter:
May Allah thank you for Shaykh Abdul Aziz, and may Allah thank you as well for your attendance and for honoring this meeting.
The questioner:
Our Shaykh, Shaykh Salih, we received a question from one of the sheikhs. He says: Your grandfather, the father of your mother, is Shaykh Abdullah Abu Latif. Is it possible for you to tell us about the Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
The Shaykh’s status and his knowledge (may Allah have mercy on him) are not hidden; they are recorded in his biography and in his answers. As for me, even though he is my grandfather, where is the dust in comparison to the Pleiades?
What benefit is there to me if my grandfather is Shaykh Abu al-Tayyib? What benefit is this to me if I do not adhere to the correct methodology and to beneficial knowledge and to... But I ask Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to grant me the ability to follow the example of our righteous predecessors, and to grant me and you knowledge and insight, and to grant us and you righteous deeds. And to keep us and you away from trials and evils, and to make the truth clear to us. O Allah, show us the truth as truth and grant us the ability to follow it, and show us falsehood as falsehood and grant us the ability to avoid it, O Ever-Living, O Sustainer. Yes.
O Allah, send prayers and peace upon him.
