Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings and His forgiveness. I praise Allah to you. How are you, well? May Allah keep you safe. By Allah, it is not the time now; the midday prayer is near, what Allah wills. How much time is left now, approximately?
The questioner : Seven minutes.
The Shaykh : Seven minutes are left for us here in Jeddah. So if the questions are few and these short minutes are sufficient for them, then bring them on. May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Mention the rule of the general and a part of its parts, and clarify it for you? Good.

The Shaykh : I think you will understand the answer to your question when you hear or recall the complete hadith, for it has two narrations. The first narration: They said, "Who are the strangers, O Messenger of Allah?" He said:. The other narration: Mishkat al-Masabih 170Isnād Da'īf Jiddan (Zubair `Aliza'i). Yes, in "Da'if al-Jami'" I do not remember, by Allah, I do not remember. Perhaps you will find it in "al-Mishkat".
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ... Yes, the issue is not clear. Since you mentioned that whoever disobeys Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and then... the remaining days, the issue is if the rich person pays the zakah of his wealth... that punishment in the verse you referred to and in the hadiths recorded in "al-Sahihayn," he is punished but is not made to abide eternally in the Fire.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Ah,, good, but this does not contradict the remaining effect... with the remaining mark, the mark of prostration.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Clear?

They are a few righteous people among many people, and those who disobey them are more than those who obey them.
هم ناس قليلون صالحون بين ناس كثيرين ، مَن يعصيهم أكثر ممَّن يطيعهمthey will set right the corruptions caused in my sunna by people after my death
هم الذين يُصلحون ما أفسد الناس مِن سُنَّتي مِن بعديThe questioner : ... .
