The Shaykh’s rebuke of the questioner for repeating the phrase "In the name of Allah, and praise be to Allah" during the session, and the statement of the one who cites verses before mentioning the verse, saying "Allah said" after "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: In the name of Allah, and praise be to Allah
The Shaykh : All right, I see you saying "In the name of Allah, and praise be to Allah." This is a recommended practice. Every little while you say "In the name of Allah, and praise be to Allah." This is a recommended practice.
The student: We are talking about a new topic, meaning
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: Ibn Taymiyyah used to say "In the name of Allah, and praise be to Allah" in every question
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah, this is how people are. Is it a recommended practice or not, my brother? Tell me it is a recommended practice, and may Allah reward you with good.
The student: I have no knowledge of it.
The Shaykh : All right, and this is the answer. May Allah reward you with good.
The student: We benefit from you.
The Shaykh : All right, you have no knowledge. To the extent that you have read and looked into the Sunnah, have you seen the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) every time he narrated a phrase, every time he narrated a hadith, and this leads us to another length, every time he cited a verse, did he say as the shaykhs do today: "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan," or did they say "Allah said" after "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan"? Has anything passed you in what you have read, within the limits of what you have looked into? And Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.
The student: I said, O Shaykh, from you I benefit.
The Shaykh : Yes
The student: I said, from you I benefit in this, regarding this issue.The Shaykh : Yes, may Allah reward you with good, may Allah bless you. I told you at the beginning of the session that the discussion has its style and its system. My question is: Did you learn this from the Sunnah? Your answer is yes. I will say to you, benefit me, may Allah reward you with good. I do not know, by Allah, half of knowledge is "I do not know." You do not follow this path. Now, finally, what do you say? "From you we benefit." But this was before this. So I ask you, may Allah bless you, that your taking and giving and your response be in a system that saves us time, especially since now, as I understood just now, unfortunately... turning away, meaning soon, meaning soon you will leave us. So this time is precious to us.
The student: Good, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : All right, now I say it is not from the Sunnah, my brother, for the lecturer or the preacher or the admonisher to say "Allah said" after "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan," or to say "Allah said" and then "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan." Rather, this is contrary to the Sunnah.
Likewise, exactly, that from time to time he says "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy, praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds," and so on. So what did I want? Mutual advice[Al-'Asr 103:3]
