Is it permissible to say: "If not for you, I would not have known about the lecture?"

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: I instructed a person to inform me about a lecture, for example. So, is it permissible for me to say about the lecture, is it permissible for me?

The Shaykh:
What? What? About the lecture. He informed him. Yes. Yes.

The questioner:
So, is it permissible for me to say, "If not for you, I would not have known about the lecture"?

The Shaykh:
"If not for you," what? "I would not have known about the lecture." Well done. And saying, "If not for Allah, and then you, I would not have known about such-and-such," is better and more complete. Yes.
