Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I would like to go with the Shaykh, if you please.

The Shaykh : Right away, and the story.

The questioner : You allowed it, my master. Regarding the hadith of Jabir: "It is near that Iraq will be besieged." Is there a connection between this and the appearance of the Mahdi? We saw how the hadith went. How? How did the hadith go? "It is near that Iraq will be besieged."

The Shaykh : No, they went to the hadith. I did not understand it from it.

The questioner : Jabir, who narrated it to us. The leader of Jabir, the leader of Jabir, yes, Iraq, that it was besieged, in its meaning, meaning. Its meaning is new. Then it was raised to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a hadith that will be in the end of my Ummah, a Caliph, that what happens is not even... or as he... Thank you.

In the wording that it will not be brought, brought, meaning the provisions will come to it as they used to come before, by way of a tax known as the jizyah, it has no relation, the important thing, to the issue of the siege at all, and this is a wrong wording, and you must alert the people,

The questioner : Yes, when he said from where is that? He said from the non-Arabs, meaning the jizyah that comes? Yes, may Allah reward you with good, we thought that this matter, peace be upon you, welcome.
