The Shaykh’s explanation of the meaning of Allah’s saying (Indeed, He sees them, and his tribe, from where you do not see them) and the interpretation of the story of Abu Hurayrah with the Shaytan.

The Shaykh : I want...

The questioner : He tests inThe Shaykh : If it succeeds... one volunteers, meaning

The Shaykh : It is not precise, because it has a concept. The jurists, especially the Hanafis, say that the words of the scholars are considered by their concept. So the concept of his words is that the disbelievers see, whereas he does not mean this. Therefore, he wants to say that a person does not see what the believer sees of a person. A person cannot see because Allah says , yes, that is correct.

The questioner : The one who starts sees the Shayatins. He accuses himself, he accuses his religion. He has sins, and they start appearing to him and testing him in something he has. This is from our experience, meaning, this long companionship, us and Abu Yusuf, many problems come to us. He has sins, it is possible. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Umar: .

The Shaykh : .

The questioner : So how does the Shaytan come to this person whom we call a Muslim and a believer in Allah the Exalted, and manifest himself to him and talk with him, except that there is something in him, may Allah protect us, and he guards himself and repents.

The Shaykh : But here, the story of Abu Hurayrah with the Shaytan comes up. What do we do with it?

The questioner : Another thing, this is

The Shaykh : How? -and he laughsThe Shaykh : AndThose present-

The questioner : The hadith is truthful, and he is a liar.

The Shaykh : Yes, how is the answer to this?

The questioner : By Allah, my master, I stop.

The Shaykh : And this is half of knowledge. Your position is half of knowledge. This is from knowledge.

The questioner : A Companion

The Shaykh : I say, your saying, I stop. This is from knowledge.

The questioner : If a person asked me now, I would stop. I cannot. Who do I go back to? May Allah have mercy on him, Abu Yusuf. I would say to him, O Shaykh, by Allah, we miss him.

The Shaykh : Yes, there is no doubt.

The questioner : By Allah, what a blessing he was to us. May Allah reward him with all good.

The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.

The questioner : So we ask, we take advantage of the opportunity. May Allah prolong your life, if Allah wills, and may Allah reward you with all good.

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. There is no god but Allah. The meaning of the previous verse, in light of what came in the Sunnah, like this authentic hadith, is that they are not seen in their forms in which Allah created them. As for the forms in which they take shape, it is possible that they are seen in them. But this form does not let the people know the personality of the one wearing the form, because he is multicolored and dressed in another form. On this basis, the hadith of Abu Hurayrah is understood, and what is similar to it, meaning this Shaytan who transformed into a person like the children of Adam, until the person, who was Abu Hurayrah, was able to seize him and threaten him that he was a thief and that he would send him to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So that pleading took place between him and Abu Hurayrah, that he was poor and had a family, and he asked him to release him. So his heart softened toward him and he released him. When morning came, Abu Hurayrah told the story to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: It is a Shaytan, and he will return to you . And indeed, he returned to him two other times. In the second time, his heart also softened toward him and he released him. In the third time, he said: "I will not let you go, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that you are a Shaytan." He said: "Let me go, and I will teach you a verse. If you recite it before you sleep, no human or jinn will harm you that night." The Verse of the Throne. It appears that in the first time, the hearts were not like our hearts. They, meaning, believed easily. We are, as you see now, question after question, and discussion after discussion. So it entered his mind that this speech is true, and he left him, while knowing that this is a Shaytan, and the Shaytan is a clear enemy to man. How did he remain? It entered his mind like this. When morning came and he met the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he told him what happened between him and the Shaytan. He said: . So the point is that in their natural creation in which Allah created them. As for if they imagine themselves in some other forms, this is possible that they are seen in them. But as I said, this vision does not determine the personality of the seen one before the person. He may represent himself in another form. Of this kind are the snakes that come out in the houses. They may be from the jinn. Why? Because they take the form of the jinn. For this reason, it came in the hadiths that the Muslim is forbidden from killing the jinn that comes out in the house, except after warning three times. And that was after the incident of that young man from the Ansar, who was newly married. So he went out of his house and then returned to it, and if his wife was at the door of the house. So jealousy took him - Allah is Great - today they go out unveiled and displaying their adornment in the alleys and address the men and young men, and there is no movement, no jealousy, no feeling. This is just that he saw her standing at the door of the house, he saw her. He took to stab her with the arrow that was with him or the spear. She said to him: "Be patient and enter the house and look." So he entered the house, and if a thick snake was coiled up on itself on her bed. And you know women are very afraid of them, so she left the house. So she was not able to leave the house, nor was she able to scatter as people do today, especially with such an excuse. So she was standing at the door of the house.
Abu Layla : Our Shaykh, meaning, was her hair visible?

The Shaykh : There is nothing clear. It is enough that she appeared at the door of the house. The point is, he entered and saw this scene. So what he did was that he stabbed her. The narrator of the hadith says: "So we do not know which of the two died faster, the other." The Ansari died and the snake died. When the news reached the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: . This supports that the jinn develop and take shape. So the verse is interpreted in the meaning that does not conflict with these events and authentic facts.
Now I return to benefit from you also. Sometimes I have phlegm. This phlegm developed with me from bad to worse, then from worse to bad. This phlegm was a kind of sticky saliva, meaning, from its stickiness it almost choked me. And always you see me coughing, and every time I did this, I would spit. Until it developed and became phlegm coming out with the phlegm, with the spit, a thick brown phlegm, meaning, solid. Then it developed and I saw in it a mixture of blood. Of course, I presented my case to the doctor, and he gave me some medicines, and I am still using them. The matter has become much better than before, but this saliva has not stopped.

The questioner : The phlegm has not stopped?

The Shaykh : The sticky saliva. There is not that solid black phlegm. But look, now I get a blockage in my nose. Sometimes my companion feels as if I am congested, and I am not congested. I get deposits in these two nostrils. It is pleasant for me to always play with it, cleaning it, or it is solid sometimes, to the extent that blood may flow, the cause of a small wound. So among the treatments they gave me are drops. I pour them three times a day. I feel that these drops are useful in relieving, but there is no removal of this phlegm at all. And so, and in many things, including this situation I am in now. For example, during reading, I am not active for reading aloud, because it takes my throat. Perhaps this vinegar also has a benefit?

The questioner : It exists. Of course, all titles are in the books I have. This phlegm with spitting blood, a light color itself has simple, available medicines.

The Shaykh : No, I asked if vinegar is useful in this?

The questioner : It is useful for nasal sensitivity. This is by the permission of Allah.

The Shaykh : If Allah wills.

The questioner : But we said a week. If it does not harm you and nothing regarding the headache.

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.

The questioner : Take more. I am two years and I take it, and it benefited me greatly in all my health. This vinegar. Two years and I use it. My children also for memory, it and honey, something amazing, for thinking, meaning, and energy. I continued on it for two years, and I take it every day, every day. But not more than a spoon or two small spoons with a spoon of honey. Honey is good against phlegm.

The Shaykh: We ask Allah for safety.

The questioner : Have you tried fenugreek?

The Shaykh : No

The questioner : My special drink.

The Shaykh : How? It is your special drink.

The questioner : Fenugreek...

The Shaykh : Give us your support... -he laughs and the attendees-

The questioner : I remember this fennel seed, even though if I were to write down recipes for you, I would write five or six, for every topic the Arabs mentioned in the books I have at home. But something I remember about phlegm, this is quick, easy, and useful. Fennel seed is a strange thing; for me and for everyone who drinks it, they say it is unaware of something important, or they do not eat it.

The Shaykh : They eat it.

The questioner : How do we prepare it? In the evening, my wife brings hot water and puts it in a small plate or a cup, and pours hot water over it. So in the morning, it is eaten with a spoon; I eat it all.

The Shaykh : What happens to the hot water? Does it become thick?

The questioner : It becomes thick. You take it on an empty stomach. This cleans the throat in a wonderful way. Fennel seed and...The questioner .

The Shaykh : Why do you use it?

Another questioner : I drink it constantly, daily, instead of tea.

The Shaykh : Once.

The questioner : I sweeten it a little.

The Shaykh : You sweeten it, you cheat it, meaning... (laughs)

The questioner : Also, for a nursing woman, it increases her milk.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : As much as I ate of it, it did not harm me. I eat a plate of it. ... And it is good for diabetes, against diabetes, and it has benefit for all needs. The Arabs say, "If people knew what benefits are in fennel seed, they would buy it with gold and silver."

The Shaykh : This is not from the words of the Arabs; this is the saying of one of the liars attributed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

The questioner : No, we say Arabs, only the one who says a hadith is wrong.

The Shaykh : No, by Allah, there is a hadith, a hadith exists in the chain in the machine-made book of fabricated hadiths by al-Suyuti. This hadith is mentioned with a note that it is fabricated, yes, .

The questioner : In the books of the Arabs, it is written, they attribute it to the Arabs, to the doctors of the Arabs.

The questioner : There are things narrated from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)...

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : There are things narrated from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about fennel seed. Is there something in this?

The Shaykh : I do not know.

Another questioner : This is addressing the Shi'ah...

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : ...fennel seed.

The Shaykh : Intended or cooked -laughs-
