The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the presence of sidr and athl in a town indicate?
The Shaykh:
The presence.
The questioner:
Does the presence of sidr and athl in a town indicate the anger of Allah, as in the verse in Surat Saba?
The Shaykh:
Sidr is good and it exists, but the thorn is not athl; the thorn is what is meant by athl. "And athl, and a little of sidr." Look at the sidr; since it is good, He said "a little." As for the athl, which is the thorn, there is no doubt that it comes with the punishment and the removal of the fruits and blessings. Yes.
