Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Shaykh, these are from one of the lovers.
The Shaykh: May Allah bless you, and you are among them. May Allah reward you with good for this kindness.
The questioner: Shaykh, this is the one who seeks Allah's help. This is my Shaykh; he has a nice treatise or book of two hundred pages.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: He titled it *Al-Takmil li ma fata Iraw al-Ghalil*.
The Shaykh : Very good.
The questioner: Many times, Shaykh, I did not find it. He said it is in such-and-such a book, but that is all.
The Shaykh : Very good.
The questioner: He said, "By Allah, I am afraid of the Shaykh." I told him, "On the contrary."
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah.
The questioner: The Shaykh is very, very pleased with this.
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah.
The questioner: Yes, by Allah.
The Shaykh: That I am among the ignorant.
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, I told him, "On the contrary, the Shaykh is pleased. This is something he rejoices in." He said, "But there is a matter; sometimes, I mean, I expect that, for example..." I told him, "My brother, these are expectations. Satan may..."
Another questioner: ...mislead you.
The questioner: Yes, meaning, and by Allah, he said, "No, we know the Shaykh and so on, but because of the research that took place between us and the Shaykh long ago and so on." I said, "No, by Allah, the Shaykh, on the contrary, loves you."
The Shaykh: There is no power nor strength except with Allah.
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, he is pleased. May Allah reward him with good. When he learned of this matter, by Allah, the Shaykh—we have been with the Shaykh for fifteen years, and praise be to Allah, we have not seen anyone return to the truth like him, nor do we declare him free of sin before Allah. Yes, by Allah.
The Shaykh: Glory be to Allah, people, I mean, are not accustomed to frankness.
The questioner: Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh: Nor are they accustomed to accepting the truth, even if it is against them.
The questioner: Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh: Even though this situation is not against us.
The questioner: Correct.
The Shaykh: This is for the benefit of the Ummah.
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, that is correct. This is correct.
The Shaykh: And I am the first of them.
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, you spoke the truth. That is correct.
The Shaykh: What is wrong with this?
The questioner: Yes, by Allah.
The Shaykh: What is wrong with it?
The questioner: So it is about two hundred pages, and it seems he is tired of his book.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward him with good.
The questioner: He is well-read, meaning, he tells me who wrote *Gharayib Futuh al-Buldan*, *Ansab al-Ashraf*, *Tarikh Misr*, and *Al-Tabyin* by Qazwini. These are the strange books, all of them. And he, glory be to Allah, Shaykh, has a good foundation in reality...
The Shaykh: This is the knowledge.
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, this is the knowledge.
The Shaykh: This is the knowledge.
The questioner: Correct.
The Shaykh: That a person searches for the buried treasures.
The questioner: Yes, by Allah, by Allah, may Allah reward him with good. He truly loves you, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: May Allah reward him with good.
The questioner: He loves you a great deal. I remember a word I said, I think, during the last Hajj. When I called him, I called him from Makkah. I was at the house of Shaykh Rabee' in Riyadh, calling him. "How are you?" He said, "First, tell me about the Shaykh of everyone, how is he?"
The Shaykh: Who is Salih?
The questioner: Yes, by Allah.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner: This is our Shaykh. This was the first word he said.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner: Tell me about the Shaykh of everyone, how is he?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward him with good.
The questioner: I told him, "By Allah, praise be to Allah. Good, Shaykh, and may Allah reward him with good."
The Shaykh: May Allah bless you, and you are among them. May Allah reward you with good for this kindness.
