The Shaykh’s account to the students of the details of the dispute that occurred between him and the owner of the Islamic Office Publishing House, named Zuha al-Shawish

The Shaykh : In the response I received in some manner to your question, you think that we love you or not? Based on the response you received in that manner, without a doubt, I believe that I am more beloved to you both than Zuha.
The student : And there is no doubt in this.

The Shaykh : Because if you know Zuha, then who am I?
The student : And if we know him...
Another student: May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Is that right or not?
The student : This is without doubt.

The Shaykh : So then, you need to know what my complaint is and what his complaint is. And I am telling you now, frankly, what my complaint is. You do not know what you want to fix, if there is a fix.
The student : No, surely you need to point us to the way.

The Shaykh : No problem, do not advise, I am careful.
The student: Hehehe.

The Shaykh : But how do you want to enter into a reconciliation without contacting the party involved, as you contacted them there? Now I am asking you, what is Zuha’s complaint?
The student : I mean, from what I heard, from what I heard, it is a matter about books, saying print them or do not print them, and so on, a disagreement over books.

The Shaykh : You do not understand anything, then.
The student : So, I do not know.

The Shaykh : Do you see how you hear it from others? You do not understand anything.
The student: No.

The Shaykh : You do not hear it.
The student : No, it is correct, strange.

The Shaykh : But I want to hear it from you.
The student : May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : Oh, the dispute is worse than you think. The dispute is worse than you think, and worse than I think.Al-Halabi : This one who is managing things, who is a student and closer, coming and going, and so on. What hurts the soul, with this closeness and that distance, is that he knows Zuha’s complaint better than he knows his Shaykh’s complaint. What do you say about this calamity? So now, regarding you, I am telling you, there is no surprise that you give me this superficial response, which warrants me saying, I did not know, then.
The student: All right.

The Shaykh : There is no surprise, why? For the first time, you are opening this topic directly between you and me. But the surprise is what they are bringing in, if I may express it, from behind the scenes. Of course, with good intentions, there is no problem with that. But as the poet said, "Sa'd brought it in, and Sa'd is covered, / This is not how, O Sa'd, you lead in the camels." This man, we lived, we lived many years as friends. I am a Salafi, he is a Muslim Brotherhood member, a hybrid Salafi. When our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) made the path of authoring letters and books easy for us, we began to deal with him, and we lived until ten years ago, meaning exactly before my migration to here, and we dealt with each other with brotherly treatment, no discussions, no calculations, what came out for me, what was printed for me, and so on, there was nothing of this. He was on his own, the affection established between us, as the poet said, "The eye of satisfaction is blind to all faults." And the reverse is the reverse. But later, when I came here and the direct relationship was cut off, and the connection was cut off, and my supply of books to him for printing was cut off, because you know the trials in Lebanon, and I am here, oh, new things began to appear in addition to the old things, which we used to flatten out in the Syrian expression. I knew clearly.
The student : Directly.

The Shaykh : Directly between me and him, and my supply of books to him for printing was cut off, because you know the trials in Lebanon, and I am here, oh, new things began to appear in addition to the old things, which we used to flatten out in the Syrian expression. I knew clearly.
The student : Yes, yes.

The Shaykh : Oh, until the measure overflowed. "The measure overflowed" means a person has a certain proportion of tolerance. So now, I mean, I am saying, do you want to help your brother, whether he is wrong or right? Do you, or someone else, go to Zuha and say to him, what is your complaint against Nasser? I am going to tell you what my complaint is. He lied to me and fabricated against me, and until now, until now, he fabricates and lies. And among the people, he says, "Our Shaykh and our teacher," and I am coming to solve the problem, and there is no material between me and him, and so on. With this tongue, he convinces you, and your neighbor, and the third, and the fourth, and so on. But these people who are being convinced do not understand what the problem is. They understand the problem generally, not in detail.
