Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : What is your opinion, Shaykh Nasser, about Abu Malik's speech after the khutbah? Does it mean he is characterized by Islamic morals? I said to him, do you mean his response to al-Yamani? He said yes. I said to him, what is your opinion of al-Yamani? Was he characterized by Islamic morals?
The questioner : Very good.
The Shaykh : He said yes. I said to him, you and he are afflicted.
The questioner : ... strong, quickly.
The Shaykh : I am surprised by these people; they have boldness in the wrong place.
The questioner :Sunan Ibn Majah 3993Sahih (Darussalam)
The Shaykh : Ah
The questioner : Because in a level of knowledge, there is no definition ... of the difference, and there is no benefit in it, meaning. Rather, what I understand is that it is a matter of caution against evil and the methodology in evil.
The Shaykh : That it is departing from ... .
The questioner : Exactly, and we know the truth and the right, and by its opposite things are distinguished. So this is a response to some parties and groups who judge issues of evil with a terrible detail ... until some of them, for example, say this one is an American agent, this one is a British agent, this one I don't know, and these are sails and these are terrible analyses in which they wasted their lives, and all of it is considered a description of diseases. So this is empty regarding the matter and ... meaning, is this useful?
The Shaykh : The detail?
The questioner : I mean, this speech that I said, is it actually valid or not? I mean, if there were good in the detail, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have specified the names of these sects, for example, and certain details. And this is, of course, not necessary. So does this not constitute a response to these calls that there is no need for detail in these diseases and indulging in them in a way that occupies one from the Book of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) and from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and from the medicine and the cure?
The Shaykh : Yes, may Allah bless you. You are bringing examples of things that should not be detailed in, in your opinion, that this one is an agent for such a country and this one, etc. This is indeed as you say, but this is speech about individuals.
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : Not about the sects. Do you mean, for example, that the speech is to mention, for example, from these sects the Mu'tazilah and the Jabriyyah, etc., or do you not mean this?
The questioner : Our Shaykh, before this, you mentioned that this is from individuals. Now, as is known, some of the parties existing in Jordan, that this is their methodology, it is all a matter of ... and ... and this ... this one is British and this one is American, this ... these.
Another questioner: ...
The questioner : I hear, meaning this is the specialty of specialists in this matter.
The Shaykh : Yes, I answered you about that. May Allah guide you.
The questioner : Ameen
The Shaykh : Why are you repeating the speech?
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : While what I asked you about, you did not answer me about it.
The questioner : First, our Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, I.
The Shaykh : I told you that what I mentioned as an example, your speech is correct, but this contains speech about individuals, and therefore their speech was not correct. Then, if they were speaking about a group, saying for example, this group is British, this has no relation to the misguided sects. This has relation to the ... who contradict the Shari'ah and the rulings of the Shari'ah, for example[Al-Ma'idah 5:51] these ones take as allies, for example, Britain or these ones America, etc. These ... this speech, if it were about groups and not about individuals as you said, has no relation to the hadith. But my question to you was this, I told you you did not answer me about it, which is that in your previous speech, it is also not beneficial to speak about the Mu'tazilah, the Khawarij, and the Murji'ah.
The questioner : No, no.
The Shaykh : And
The questioner : No, no.
The Shaykh : Well, why did you not tell me that?
The questioner : ... a question I was not.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : Very good.
The Shaykh : He said yes. I said to him, you and he are afflicted.
The questioner : ... strong, quickly.
The Shaykh : I am surprised by these people; they have boldness in the wrong place.
The questioner :
all of which will be in Hell apart from one
كلها في النار إلا واحدةThe Shaykh : Ah
