The Meaning of the Poet’s Statement: Al-Fashr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the meaning of the poet’s (may Allah have mercy on him) statement regarding virtue?
The Shaykh:
So, does he say that the student took the Shaykh of Islam’s words out of context, as I told you one night, that some people snatch a word from the Shaykh’s speech or a line, without grasping the full context from beginning to end, and without understanding the result and the flow of the speech? They come and cut out a word or a line and say, “The Shaykh said such and such.” Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, what is the meaning of the poet’s (may Allah have mercy on him) statement regarding your disbelief in his saying?
The Shaykh:
Al-Fashr is speech that has no meaning, a thing that has no reality. Al-Fashar and al-Fashr is a thing that has no reality; it is an appearance, but it has no substance.
The presenter:
Yes. May Allah reward you.
