Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Get up, look for me now. This is your reward for that good word. Look for the west, where is it? Where is the west?
The student: The west?
The Shaykh: Or the east, meaning you didn't even manage to find the west so you can identify the east.
The student : Hehehe.
Another student: ... This is the south, this is the east, and this is the west. The west is behind you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Okay, do you see the west now?
The student: The west? No, I don't see it.
The Shaykh: Why are you looking at the east?
The student : ... .
The Shaykh: Okay, do you see the west now or not?
The student: The west?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: No, I don't see it.
The Shaykh: My brother, may Allah guide you...
The student : O Allah, amen.
The Shaykh: Do you see the west now or not?
The student: Like this, I see it.
Another student: Like this, I see it. This is a double.
The student: It means, O our Shaykh, the food affected him a lot.
The Shaykh: A little, a little.
The student: Due to the effect of hunger, I mean.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : Allah is the Helper.
The Shaykh: I didn't get an answer from you.
The student: No, I didn't see the west.
The Shaykh: Show me the west.
The student: I will show you. Come with me.
Another student: Hehehe.
The Shaykh: So you can see, you... here it is.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh: Where did we put the west?
The student: Hehehe. Shaykh, the west knows but does not see.
Another student: Does the west see?
The student: Does the west see?
Another student: Yes, the west does not see.
The student: ... Hehehehe.
The Shaykh: Good night, good night. Go look for the west, go.
The student: Hehehehe... By Allah, we greeted him... it will be a riddle.
Another student: He wants to see if 'Isha' has happened or not.
The Shaykh: Heavy, oh heavy.
The student: It seems the watermelon went up, O Abu...
The Shaykh: Did you see the west now?
The student: Or did he see me?
Another student: Hehe, he didn't see it and it didn't see you. May Allah make you laugh.
The Shaykh: Abu 'Abd al-Rahman doesn't like to learn, doesn't like to learn, what...
The student: I say the Shaykh, we need to learn.
Another student: We learn together, if Allah wills. I am ready, but I see that the darkness is thick, meaning it has been a long time.
The Shaykh: Where is the darkness?
The student: This is the darkness.
The Shaykh: Yes, we want to see the west in the sky.
The student: In the west.
The Shaykh: Yes, get up and look at it.
The student : I saw it.
The Shaykh: No, I didn't see it.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh: ... What do you see?
The student: I see lights.
The Shaykh: And are there lights here?
The student: I thought there were...
Another student: ...
The Shaykh: Muhammad al-Khatib will testify to the vision.
The student: No, don't cheat me, by Allah, he told me to say to the Shaykh that there is nothing clear of the red twilight.
The Shaykh: Okay, if there is no red twilight, what will it be?
The student: The time for 'Isha' has entered.
The Shaykh: So can you give the call to prayer now?
The student: Yes, I will give the call, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: For me?
The student: Because the time for 'Isha' has come.
The Shaykh : How do you know that?
The student: The twilight will end.
The Shaykh: Did you see it before it went?
The student: No, I didn't see it.
The Shaykh: Okay, how do you know it has gone?
The student: It is not going. Student: It hasn't come yet.
The student: He is thinking of a riddle with the same word, and here the young men are laughing. Student: You say you saw the west, where is the west?
The student: We heard your beautiful adhan, O Abu al-Tayyib. May Allah reward you with good. - The adhan - .
The Shaykh: These lights are scattered, special lights emanating from...
The student: This is the university, O Shaykh. This is the university.
The Shaykh: This is the university. Okay, and the light over there.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh: Okay, what do you think? During the Gulf War, the Gulf Fitnah, there was a possibility that electricity and water would be cut off... and so on. So, taking precautions, I bought an electric motor. What do you think? Bring it to you here. Come tomorrow, if Allah wills, and take it?
The student: We will take it on the condition that we buy it from you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: The one who sets conditions is the Shaykh, not the student.
The student: The seeker, O Shaykh, stays silent.
The Shaykh: Yes, I understand him. This seeker, this obedient one.
The student: Where do you want to look? Now I am ready.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: Where do you want to look? Now I am ready.
Another student: O my Shaykh, we want to show you something. The star, O my Shaykh, by which one identifies the qiblah in the desert. Now, O my Shaykh, it is clearly visible from here.
The Shaykh: The North Pole, I mean.
The student: Yes, so what do you think, O my Shaykh, would you be kind enough...
The Shaykh: Yes, but we need to finish the matter with Abu 'Umar.
The student: You bought it for a price, so we will take it from you for a price.
The Shaykh: The one who sets conditions is the Shaykh, not the student. So if I have a command for you, I command you to come with your car tomorrow.
The student: It is your command, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The student : May Allah preserve you and bless you.
The Shaykh: At any time you are able to come.
The student: By Allah, whatever time suits you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Because now I will convince you that your condition is void. This motor, how many years has it been? The Gulf War, two or three years.
The student: The third year.
The Shaykh: The third year, no... While you, when you bring it here, you will water the land here, and I will automatically receive reward.
The student: May Allah reward you, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes, this is better than your condition. So our appointment is tomorrow, when?
The student: You decide, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: No, no, at your convenience.
The student: If I asked for your soul, I would give it to you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: May Allah reward you with good. I mean, when is the appropriate time?
The student: By Allah, if you asked for any time, O our Shaykh, we...
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The student: Decide, O our Shaykh, and we are ready. We do not set conditions, O Shaykh. You decide and we will do it, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh: Yes, you say you don't set conditions...
The student: Done, we withdrew it, O our Shaykh. We withdrew it, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Okay, may Allah reward you with good. So tomorrow at eleven in the morning, okay?
The student : That is fine, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The student: May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh: Bring it so we can see what you have?
The student: I say, O my Shaykh, regarding the star, so that we can benefit from you, if Allah wills, O my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Allow me.
The student: Please, O Shaykh. Now, how is the star behind my back...
The Shaykh: We did not make a dua for you. We make dua for you: O Allah, feed the one who fed me and give drink to the one who gave me drink.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh : How?
The student : ... .
The Shaykh: No...
The student: The west?
The Shaykh: Or the east, meaning you didn't even manage to find the west so you can identify the east.
