of the Shaykh al-Tabib to his Shaykh al-Badri: Did he hear from him the interpretation of the sky as this celestial body?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Did you ever hear him interpret the sky to mean this celestial body, or is the intended meaning the height? Did you hear it or not?
The student : No, I did not hear it.
The Shaykh : You did not hear it. Well, did you hear him say that He is in the lowest heaven, or the second, or the third, or the fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh? Because there are seven heavens by the explicit text of the Noble Qur'an. So when you say "the slave of Allah is in the sky," which sky do you mean?
The student : The hadith clarifies that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) descends in the last third of the night to the lowest heaven.
Another student: Say what you heard or what you did not hear.
The student : No, I did not hear it.
The Shaykh : Sidestep, sidestep.
The student : I did not hear it from the Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Oh, Abu Muhammad.
The student : Perhaps you are a Shaykh, and you are asking me questions about the Shaykh, but I do not know whether I heard it or not. If I had heard it, I would say that I heard it.
The Shaykh : But you have found an exit for yourself.
The student : What is it?
The Shaykh : You are obligated to answer, because earlier I asked you a question, and by Allah, you said, "I do not remember that I heard the Shaykh." But do you have the answer, yes or no?
The student : ... If Allah wills, we are.
The Shaykh : What am I asking you, yes or no?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : We told you, Abu Muhammad, enough of this sidestepping.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Heh.
The student : Our Shaykh is still ... getting used to it.
The Shaykh : Heh.
The student : May Allah bless you.
Another student: ... getting used to it.
The Shaykh : It needs gatherings.
The student : If Allah wills, may we be among the students of knowledge ... .
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you.
The student : A little, a little.
The Shaykh : That is the opinion I have of you.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : The important thing is that a person is walking on the path.
The student : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : And not being distracted.
The student : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed,[Al-'Ankabut 29:69], my brother, so that we may reach a positive result.
The student : If Allah wills.
The student : No, I did not hear it.
