The questioner :
“O my master, the one who is remembered therein, O my master, O Messenger of Allah, take my hand, I have no one but you, and I do not turn to anyone else.” We refuted them.
They said to us, “My brother, it comes with two meanings. The first meaning is supplication, and the second meaning is calling out.”
The Shaykh :
The “ya” of calling out, what does it mean?
The questioner :
It means supplication, and supplication is the essence of worship. They said it means calling out, and calling out is permissible. But if it is not, then is
their statement correct or not?
The Shaykh:
The correct statement is that you complete the sentence. If it is for calling out, what does calling out mean? For example, “O Messenger, take my hand.” What do they intend by “take my hand”?
The questioner:
That is, be an intercessor with Allah.
The Shaykh:
Is this calling out or supplication?
The questioner:
In their claim, it is calling out.
The Shaykh:
When they look at the word “ya” alone, it may be, as they said, for calling out.
The questioner : But calling out is supplication, teacher.
The Shaykh : No, my master. When they remove the apparent meaning, the Arabic style is well known: “O night, rise,” “O sleep, depart,” “O morning, stop, do not dawn.” There is no supplication here in the sense of worship. But here, in this sentence, “take my hand,”
this clarifies that the “ya” here is for supplication and seeking help and support. Therefore, you should not stand with them in
the verbal discussion about whether this “ya” is for calling out or for supplication, because the words interpret each other. What is there after “ya”? That is, if
we suppose a person said “O Messenger of Allah” and that was all . . . . They said, “That one.” Do you see? But “O Messenger of Allah, take my hand,”
the scent comes out, you know how. Therefore, you should not argue with them about the letter “ya” of calling out. We look at what comes after it.
What comes after it makes it clear that it is calling for aid from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) without Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And this is
What follows it makes it clear that it is a call for aid to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instead of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and this is
If he said “intercession,” they interpret it as intercession . . . . that he intercedes for me with Allah.
The questioner :
If they said intercession, they explained it as intercession... he will intercede for me with Allah
The Shaykh :
“Take my hand . . . .”
The questioner :
Never mind, we are asking them: Does the Messenger intercede for whom he wills and is pleased with, or for whom Allah wills and is pleased with? Please, what

The questioner :
mean hadith. Sometimes athar is intended to be more specific than khabar and hadith, and it is the mawquf hadith. But there is
The Shaykh :
no consistent rule. Often, athar is used to mean a marfu' hadith, and sometimes it is used to mean a
mawquf hadith. The place where this term appears is what determines for you the intended meaning of this term, whether it is a
marfu' hadith or a mawquf hadith. Please.
It is mawquf, so the context in which this term appears is what determines for you the intended meaning of this term, as for
A marfu' hadith, or is the hadith mawquf? Please proceed.
