The Shaykh : Excuse me, what do you believe? What did you tell us?
The questioner : We don't have anything against him; he has clarity. That is how he believes, meaning he is at the door of Allah, like that.
The Shaykh : At the door of Allah, meaning as we said, "If he takes what was given, he drops what is obligatory."
The questioner : Meaning the man is like that, relying on blessings, that is what he believes.
The Shaykh : We didn't understand, but one of the two: "If he takes what was given, he drops what is obligatory," or is there a middle ground for you?
The questioner : No, there is no middle ground, but in my opinion, Professor, what happened to you is a reaction.
The Shaykh : A reaction to what? May Allah guide you.
The questioner : Amen, O Allah. A reaction; perhaps what our brother mentioned is a cause of it, because some of those who used to go to him had an effect on him.
The Shaykh : Meaning like Ali?
The questioner : No, no, I mean other people. In my opinion, he started reading a lot in the end, and his mind got confused, confused in a strange way.
The Shaykh : In any case, pray for him. Yes.
The questioner : Professor Abu Abd al-Rahman used to say a phrase I loved to hear from him, and this was recently, just yesterday. He used to say, "I am a Muslim; I do not want to be called by any other name, and I am a brother to all Muslims." I say, may Allah reward you with good. That is good speech from you. I wish you would stay with that. Yesterday I tried to find out the truth from him.
The Shaykh : By Allah, it is not good. It is not good.
The questioner : Regardless of what our opinion is.
The Shaykh : It is not good. No, no, it is not good. This speech is not good.
The questioner : Meaning, well, the day before yesterday he said an even worse thing. He said, "I am a Sufi." I said, "No, man, our information about you is that you used to say, 'I am a Muslim.' We did not contradict you on that statement. You are free in what you do. But now you are a Sufi?" He said, "I seek refuge in Allah." I said to him, "What is the matter, man? What is wrong with you?" So the man, meaning, is poor; he has had a fit in his mind, I mean.
Another questioner : I say for this man, may Allah keep everyone firm upon the understanding of the Salaf.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. "Whoever sees the lesson in others, let him take heed."
The questioner : We don't have anything against him; he has clarity. That is how he believes, meaning he is at the door of Allah, like that.
