The questioner was asked to meet with Ali al-Hajj. ?

Abu Malik: If he had met with the Shaykh and we had sat with him for some time and talked, he might have benefited from some of the things that prevented or hindered your coming. I mean, there is no blame for what I am saying now. I mean, your coming was impulsive; it was not based on a foundation of careful consideration, because careful consideration requires that we know the circumstances that carried or motivated you to come from Algeria to here. Now, this is a matter that must be a subject of experience and reflection in your lives, and you should also convey it to your brother Ali. I mean, convey it faithfully and inform him of the truth of what you saw, and perhaps he did not see anything of what you saw.

The Shaykh : In any case, I remind you that Shaykh Ali promised us that he would return to us. I do not know if you were present or if it was after you had left, is that right?

The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : He promised us that he would return to us, because, unfortunately, we were not given the opportunity to sit for a long time and discuss with one another many of the issues that this blessed group of our Salafi brothers in Algeria needs.
Abu Malik: By Allah, our brothers as well, my Shaykh. I mean, there is nothing wrong if the situation calls for it and we are able to go to Algeria and meet our brothers there; that would be a good thing, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : It is certainly so, but they say in our land of the Levant: There is nothing left of the generosity but the firewood.
Abu Malik: There is another saying, my Shaykh: The oil is in the old age. -laughsThe Shaykh : And the students-

The questioner : May Allah prolong your lives.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you. Do you have anything else?
