The questioner: What is it.
The Shaykh: Al-Qawsimah.
The questioner: Al-Qawsimah, okay, good, if Allah wills, okay, Shaykh, if we evaluate between three people, between this brother Abu 'Ubaydah, and the brother Ali al-Hasan Abu al-Harith, and the brother Salim al-Hilali, who do you think is most suitable for attending this conference from these three?
The Shaykh: The two I mentioned to you are preferable.
The questioner: Preferable, yes.
The Shaykh: Then if the choice falls between the two, I prefer Abu 'Ubaydah now, because Ali came to you twice as I said.
The questioner: Yes, okay, good, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh: Then you asked us to record a speech, but we have tapes in the hundreds, indeed in the thousands, so what is your opinion, shall we send you a tape titled "Our Call"?

The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: You invite him, you have his number.
The questioner: Yes, I have it.
The Shaykh: Just invite him, and perhaps you start with him, but in my opinion he will make an excuse.
The questioner: Good, if Allah wills, okay, from the women, who do you think from the women who might, meaning we heard that the wifeThe Shaykh : of Abu Malik might be useful for the women here, meaning she lectures to the women.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: So do you agree to this, meaning?
The Shaykh: Yes, yes, so you invite Abu Malik and his wife.
The questioner: All right.
The Shaykh: Perhaps this will encourage him to come to you.
The questioner: If Allah wills, okay, good, if Allah wills, come, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, meaning, by Allah, we all love you, meaning.
