The questioner:
His saying, may He be Exalted:[Al-Insan 76:3] and if [Al-Insan 76:3].
The Shaykh:
Meaning, We warned them, We warned them, We guided them, and We made the path clear for them. Meaning, We warned them and made the path clear for them. The messengers made it clear, and the scholars of truth made it clear, but the one who is astray turns away, does not care, and does not look back. 'Abd al-Badi and al-Husayn al-Jayyit say, "No, he does not obey. He thinks his work is good."
Another questioner:
The problem is that he knows.
The questioner:
It is not just that.
The Shaykh:
The polytheists did not say to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) what prevented them[Sad 38:4] on the Day of Resurrection [Sad 38:4-5]. This is his speech; we seek refuge in Allah, [As-Saffat 37:36-37] we ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
His saying, may He be Exalted:
Indeed, We guided him to the way, be he grateful
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًاor be he ungrateful.

And they wonder that there has come to them a warner
وَعَجِبُوا أَن جَاءَهُم مُّنذِرٌAnd the disbelievers say, "This is a magician and a liar. (5) Has he made the gods [only] one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing."
وَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَٰذَا سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَٰهًا وَاحِدًا إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ"Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?" (37) Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.
أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُو آلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍ بَلْ جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
