Advice from "Abu Malik Ibrahim Shuqara" to the Salafi brothers not to pay attention to people like these.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Malik: ... a comment - Shaykh - on ... .

The Shaykh: Go ahead.
Abu Malik: And regarding matters like these that occur and occupy people's minds with fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), the truth is I always tell the brothers that these issues should not be mentioned, should not pass through their tongues, and should not be circulated in their gatherings; because they divert one from seeking knowledge and the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and reciting the Qur'an. And if we know that they are invalid from the very beginning, why do we occupy ourselves with them? This is one point.
As for the second point, falsehood, no matter what it is, if its duration is long, it is destined to disappear, to become invalid, and to be refuted. This is the sunnah (the Prophet's way) of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in His existence and His creation. No falsifier ever appeared but he quickly departed and turned away, and his falsehood does not wait long before it vanishes. Therefore, occupying oneself with the falsehood of these people publicizes them, announces them, and makes people talk about their matter and gather around them. The least that people can do is go to look at it and know of his condition what they know. And I think this is aiding in munkar (what is wrong). This is a matter that should be paid attention to.
And as for the third point, we have tried and known in our ancient history and we know in our present - also - that such things were called in the terminology of the era: they say, "These are bubbles"; meaning they extinguish before their duration becomes long. Therefore, if we occupy ourselves with them, we divert ourselves from an obligatory duty, and then we occupy ourselves with a matter that is quickly vanishing, and leaving it is what removes it and makes it disappear. Therefore, my advice to our brothers - may Allah bless you - is that you do not occupy yourselves with these matters ... .
Yes?

Those present : ... .
Abu Malik: Yes, of course, he ... what is the religion, I mean.

Another questioner : ... .
Abu Malik: This is not permissible; because the truth is - Shaykh - when I heard that he was on an appointment with the man, the truth is I wanted to call you, and I hope he does not go, but - praise be to Allah - now I am reassured.

The Shaykh: Excuse me, I was not on an appointment with the man, I was on an appointment with a doctor at the university to go.
Abu Malik: No, I heard - Shaykh - the opposite of this; and therefore now the truth is I was happy that Shaykh did not go, because if he had gone, the matters would have been different. They said, "By Allah, Shaykh Nasser went," or "The man came and sat with him." And I - Shaykh - want to bring him down from such invalid gatherings where their prevalent talk is nonsense. And as for there being truth in them, the truth that proceeds is from the one being debated, not the one doing the debating.

Another questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

Another questioner : May Allah reward you.

The questioner: Shaykh, I have a brother in America whose wife was close to giving birth ... she told us that the fetus was in a transverse position and the woman needed a C-section, so I asked her to recite al-Fatihah (Surat al-Fatihah) [on] the woman's belly ten times, and al-Ikhlas (Say: He is Allah, One) and the two Mu'awwidhat (seeking refuge chapters), so after three hours she gave birth naturally one hundred percent.

The Shaykh : What Allah willed!

The questioner: And the doctors were three supervising her ... how could the birth be natural; so what is your opinion about the ... ?

The Shaykh : ... .
