The questioner:
It includes carrying, decrease, and increase; it includes many things that are not fully demanded.
The Shaykh:
The perfection of ritual worship has not been found in the created beings. May Allah be upon you, O my dear one, the first thing Allah created was the heart. This is an authentic hadith. Yes, indeed.
The questioner:
Exegesis of the prayer as mercy, exegesis of the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as mercy.
The Shaykh:
No, the prayer and peace are bestowed upon Allah, it is the praise of Allah, and the prayer upon His servants, and from the prayer upon them and His mercy as well, as He said: "Those are the prayers of mercy that I cast upon them." So mercy is doing good to them, and the prayer is His praise of them. And when the prayer is prolonged, it enters into the likeness of mercy, and the One who prays upon you and His angels praise you and have mercy upon you with His mercy, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
From the general.
