Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The second question: In the words of Ibn Taymiyyah in his book "Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim," his words after the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He): [Al-Ma'idah 5:64] to the end of the verses.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : The Shaykh al-Islam says: "And it is an apparent customary reality from the wording, or it is a well-known metaphor." Frankly, I did not understand these words in his statement about this verse: "And it is an apparent customary reality from the wording, or it is a well-known metaphor."
The Shaykh : By Allah, the truth is that I am like you in this, because these are linguistic terms.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And I am not a specialist in them, and some of our brothers have it, perhaps they will provide us with their knowledge. And be patient with me for a little. Do you have anything, Professor Abu Ubaydah? Yes. And upon you be peace, welcome Abu Anas, please go ahead. Yes...
The student : ... .
The Shaykh : Ah, Abu Ubaydah. Do you have anything? No, we have no answer.
The questioner : Okay, may Allah reward you with good. Good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And you too, my brother.
And the Jews say, "The hand of Allah is chained." Chained are their hands
