Abu Malik’s follow-up on who has the right to establish the proof.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, following up on your statement where you said, "Who has the authority to establish the proof upon..."
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ...upon whom it is obligatory to establish the proof so that he may return to the truth? We constantly mention to you a nice phrase you used to say and have uttered for decades: "Scholars are of two types: a scholar who acts, and an actor who is a scholar." And by analogy to that, the word "scholar" has now been replaced by another word that has become common on the tongues of many, so that they now say "Shaykh."
The Shaykh : Heh, and there are many Shaykhs in this age.
The questioner : Heh, yes. So I say, likewise by analogy to that phrase and following its pattern, Shaykhs are of two types:
The Shaykh: Hehehehe
The questioner : Heh, a Shaykh who is a scholar and an actor, a Shaykh... heh.
The Shaykh : Heh, actually, today my relatives called my house and asked for so-and-so by his name.
The questioner : About you?
The Shaykh : No, my relatives called the house and asked for the owner of the house, but they did not know him by his name. Then the one who was staying there answered, meaning, "Are you speaking to my family?"The Shaykh : So-and-so?
The questioner: Hehehehe
The Shaykh : Heh, at that point they understood.
The questioner : Heh, yes.
The Shaykh : Actually, on this occasion, I want to remind our brothers not to use this word, meaning, to alert their families not to call the head of the house, for example, if he is a student of knowledge,The Shaykh : So-and-so, but rather replace the name with the kunya: Abu So-and-so, Abu Ahmad, Abu Muhammad, Abu Abd al-Rahman, Abu Abdullah, Abu Zayd, and so on.The Shaykh : So-and-so, actually, the Syrian expression, meaning, a word that has become degraded, heh, meaning: its value has dropped.
The questioner : Yes, by Allah.
The Shaykh : Subhan Allah, like the word "scholar."
The questioner : Here, my Shaykh, since we have mentioned this issue, a relative met me yesterday. Some of the brothers were going to the market, so they rushed to me and said, "Help us, help us, for the sake of Allah." I said, "I ask Allah to help us in helping you. What is behind you?" They said, "We are students of So-and-so, and we have brothers who are students of So-and-so. Before the students divided into two Shaykhs, we loved one another.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : And now we hate one another.
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah.
The questioner : And a heart-based conflict occurred, to the point that one of us no longer likes to meet his brother. The reason for that is the two of them,The Shaykh : So-and-so and So-and-so. Therefore, we hope that you will intervene between them, perhaps Allah will reconcile them through your hands.
The Shaykh : Allah is the Helper, Allah.
The questioner : The matter is increasing. We ask Allah for well-being, because of the passion.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the incurable disease.
The questioner : Yes, that is correct.
The Shaykh : Yes.
