The questioner : Regarding, O my Shaykh, the lessons you followed in Syria generally in the provinces, what was the plan you were following?
The Shaykh : I have no plan; it is by the blessing of the Droush!
The questioner : Do you mean the lessons did not have a methodology that you yourself established?
The Shaykh : No, not at all. In my travels to Aleppo, I taught them *Al-Raghba wa al-Ra’b* (Encouragement and Warning), meaning the authentic version of it, of course. I would provide commentary; that is, I would read the hadith, and if there were some words that fell under the obscure terms of hadith, I would explain them, and I would also clarify some of the phrases. Then I would mention some of the rulings that are derived from it. And if there was room for some preaching and reminding, I would do so. And as I mentioned to you in a previous session, the time takes its course.
I would move to some of the other countries around Aleppo, and this naturally varies depending on the time, because I had a very wide role in Latakia itself for many years. I would move from Aleppo to Latakia, sometimes reversing the order, going directly from Damascus to Latakia and then to Aleppo. So I do not have a specific methodology that I can explain to people.
The questioner : Do you mean how many years did you continue explaining *Al-Raghba wa al-Ra’b* (Encouragement and Warning), O my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : First: I did not finish it.
The questioner : Until this hour?
The Shaykh : Yes, I do.
The questioner : Glory be to Allah!
The Shaykh : I did not finish it in terms of teaching, even though I finished it in terms of commentary and verification.
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, and I continued for a few years; I do not know, of course, exactly how many, but it was a few years.
The questioner : Yes, I do.
