What is the difference between those from the people of the Sunnah who hold to the succession of events and the philosophers who hold to the eternity of the world?

The questioner : I have two questions. The first is: What is the difference between the succession of events held by those from the people of the Sunnah who affirm it, and the eternity of the world held by the philosophers? This is the first question.

The Shaykh : The one from the people of the Sunnah who affirms the succession of events explicitly states that no created thing exists without being preceded by non-existence, whereas the philosophers do not say that.
And this difference between us is sufficient for you, *** and every vessel emits what is in it.
This is the answer to the first question.
