The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the meaning of a surah or a verse comes to the heart of a mosque imam, just as it came to the heart of the imam of the people of Quba, is it prescribed for him to recite it continuously before his recitation?
The Shaykh:
What is it?
The questioner:
If the meaning of a surah or a verse comes to the heart of a mosque imam, like what came to the heart of the imam of the people of Quba, is it prescribed for him?
The Shaykh:
This is a rank that one does not attain; he wants to catch up with the Companions, to become like the Companions. This is not possible; no one reaches these Companions, and no one surpasses them. But if he does it occasionally and does not disturb the people, after he prays for himself or with people who know this, with people who know this and do not backbite him, then there is no harm. Yes.
