The Shaykh’s completion of his guidance to the students regarding the discussion of those who lie and transgress against him in the matter of emigration, such as al-Khalidi and al-Faqir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : I am now reading al-Khalidi’s second article.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : One named Hammam responded to it.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I read it and looked into *Zad al-Masir* in the science of Qur’anic exegesis.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : His statement - the Exalted - : .
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I saw, meaning, statements that are, may Allah be pleased with them, correct, may Allah will it, that not everyone who is returned to the decline of old age is of this description, meaning the believers are excluded.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : And the righteous are excluded in that regard.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : And I also looked into some of the exegeses. This is truly due to their ignorance; they mean, they read with, they search for what agrees with their desires.
The Shaykh : This is the calamity.
The questioner : They accuse the previous scholars and accuse them of error in their other statements.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : This is from injustice and oppression. We ask Allah for them, meaning, guidance.
The Shaykh : Just now, before you called, a person who calls himself Dr. Bashir called me. Do you know what? He had called repeatedly at the house here, and I would either be at the house or, for example, busy, or so on. Today, about half an hour before your call, he called my family. We asked, “Is the Shaykh present?” They told him, “Yes, he is present.” The point is, it was a very long call because I felt that he might be one of the fair-minded people. So, half an hour on the phone. He wanted me to publish a word about this storm that they stirred up. I said to him, “My brother, this is not beneficial. This only benefits people who seek the truth, who may be mistaken, as you, Abdul Aziz, mentioned. But these people are not like that. The proof, and here is the witness, is that this al-Khalidi accuses me of being returned to the decline of old age. I said to this doctor, ‘This one is calling me and talking to me. The session over the phone was longer than our session with you on the phone just now, about half an hour.’ I said to him, ‘Do you see someone who has reached the decline of old age talking to you for half an hour and bringing you some texts from the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and so on?’”
The questioner : Guidance and insight.
The Shaykh : What do you think? This one accuses me of the decline of old age. Is this a man with whom discussion and response are useful? And if I responded to this and that, my life would be wasted, because they are like hornets, like wasps. Do you know? If I wrote an article, they would write ten, because they are free to do so. And I am, may Allah forgive me, sorry that I am saying a word about this, because, praise be to Allah, as you know, my whole life is in the hands of the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I am carrying out a process of filtering them.
