The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) the best to speak about the hearts?
The Shaykh:
What do you mean?
The questioner:
About the hearts.
The Shaykh:
I do not know, yes, but he has good and beautiful words, even though he is the best to speak about the hearts. I do not count the people and distinguish between them, saying this one is better than that one, yes.
