Discussion of the Scholars and Clarification of the Status of Those Who Speak About Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In another question, he says: Some people say, "Do not be affected by others; it is Allah who harms them."
The Shaykh:
They leave you when they are guiding you. They say, "May Allah keep you alive, may Allah keep you alive." This is the customary greeting and the well-known supplication, the customary way of greeting.
The questioner:
The questioner says, or rather, this is from the scholars of the Sunnah and the purchase, so the correctors affirmed that this is the language of explanation and vindication. So what is the order of the long discussion in this?
The Shaykh:
Yes, and this occurred in the empty space. The one who speaks about the scholars is one of two men. We said that he is from among the people of desires and open sinfulness, from the people of forbidden desires and open sinfulness and sins. He hates the scholars because they warn him against that and prevent him from it. If he had authority, he would hate them for this open sinfulness and forbidden desires, because they stood between him and them or prevented him from taking them.
The second man is a man who has fallen into atheistic inclinations, atheistic directions. The scholars do not agree with him on them, so he seeks them out for that reason, because they do not agree with him on his immersion in his thought, his immersion in his school of thought, his immersion in his directions. They warn against division and they warn against partisanship, while he loves partisanship and division. So he hates them for this. The result is that the one who hates the scholars and speaks about them has no good in him, no good in him, because if there were any good in him, he would have loved the people of knowledge and loved the believers and the awliya (close friends of Allah) (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
