Explaining the Meaning of Proximity and Presence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And that he is able to mention a hadith about it and your signs, because it is in the chain of narration with weakness, in a small amount, and he says in what we call you to both.
The Shaykh:
So has anyone said anything other than this? That the meaning of proximity is the proximity of encompassing, hearing, seeing, and knowledge? No one says this; it is not like *kuburiyyah* in the sense that it is mixed with people; they do not say anything except *hululiyyah*, yes.
The questioner:
And other than that, so that there is a distinction between love and wealth.
The Shaykh:
No, he calls for a distinction between proximity and presence; they are one meaning. Proximity, presence, and tears are all one meaning, yes.
