Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : So, what is your advice for the youth of Aden before I leave?
The Shaykh : My advice is, first, that they seek knowledge from its pure sources, the Book and the Sunnah. Second, that they be as eager to do good deeds as they are to seek beneficial knowledge. Third and finally, that they conduct themselves according to the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic):[Al-Hujurat 49:6] [Al-Hujurat 49:6], confirming the meaning of the verse with his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Riyad as-Salihin 1547. There are many pieces of advice, but what you have heard is sufficient.
The questioner : Do you permit me to write it down on paper and publish this advice for the youth?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is good. Do so.
The questioner : And may Allah reward you with every good for us.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The questioner : And in truth, I am praying for you in every prayer.
The Shaykh : May Allah accept from you and reward you with good for me.
The questioner : Because I love you, by Allah, for the sake of Allah.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good and accept from you.
The questioner : Amen, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : And my warm greetings to the noble father.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Fine, will he stay here or travel with you?
The questioner : It is the mother, I am saying.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : My mother, my mother.
The Shaykh : Your mother, ah.
The student : As for my father, he has passed away.
The Shaykh : To the mercy of Allah. She will travel with you.
The student : Yes, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : So we entrust you to Allah regarding your religion, your trust, and the conclusion of your deeds.
The student : If Allah wills, and today, if Allah wills, after the 'Isha' prayer, if I am able to go to where you said.
The Shaykh : Yes, to my home here in South Marka.
The student : South Marka.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
The student : He knows me, meaning, as soon as I arrive.
The Shaykh : Yes, if Allah wills.
The student : Meaning, today in a session.
The Shaykh : In a session, yes, we have some guests from Saudi Arabia.
The student : If Allah wills, I will come.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The student : My name is Zakariya, so that nothing happens.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The student: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : My advice is, first, that they seek knowledge from its pure sources, the Book and the Sunnah. Second, that they be as eager to do good deeds as they are to seek beneficial knowledge. Third and finally, that they conduct themselves according to the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic):
O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate
يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُواinvestigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful.
فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَنْ تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَIt is enough for a man to prove himself a liar when he goes on narrating whatever he hears.
