A reminder by Hasan al-Halabi to Shaykh al-Albani regarding some of his gatherings with al-Saqaf.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi: Our Shaykh, let me give you a final example, just two words. When our Shaykh gathered you all in that session with that foolish, stupid, and wretched man, al-Saqaf, who was on the right side of the gathering, andThe Shaykh : he was in the middle of the gathering, so the man came to show respectThe Shaykh : and offer him a drink, or whatever guests or the hosts of the house offer to their guests, so he told himThe Shaykh : start from the right, even if this one is an innovator, even if this one is an innovator, start from the right. Allahu Akbar.
Abu Malik: You are a blessing, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: May Allah bless you. We ask Allah for well-being and safety. He is wronged, he is wronged without a doubt, and those who wrong him are wronging twice, wronging themselves and wronging others. Allahu Akbar.
The questioner: By Allah, my Shaykh, they are depriving him of his right.
The Shaykh: Without a doubt, in truth, this is a word of truth, meaning they do not appreciate him. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
Abu Layla: One, two, three, four, five, and up to nine people, each one is one hundred and fifty-five years old, so I am ready now.
The Shaykh: What do you say about what happened later, thatAbu Layla : the tapes were confiscatedThe Shaykh : we said that the tapes were confiscatedThe Shaykh : you took a lecture from that, but now the tapes are not confiscated, so whoever is interested in any of them, here he is before you, what do you say about him in his absence, such and such.
The questioner: I have someone who is equivalent to twenty-five people, and all of them came for your sake.
The Shaykh: And Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You, I bear witness that there is no god but You, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You. And peace be upon you, welcome, how are you, are you happy, go ahead and finish your handshake.
Abu Layla: Who are you? Who named you Ibrahim? Who named you Ibrahim? I am going to Yugoslavia and Albania next week, if Allah wills, if you want anything.The Shaykh: What Allah willed, are you with someone or alone?
The questioner: Me and Orhan, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : You?
The questioner: And Orhan, our brother, are going, if Allah wills, to Syria, Turkey, and Bulgaria.The Shaykh: I wish you success, if Allah wills.
The questioner: If you want to advise us about something.
The Shaykh: May you be safe, we advise you to fear Allah and to be gentle with the groups that have strayed from Allah.
The questioner: By Allah, my Shaykh, I mean, frankly, I was waiting for a matter I wanted to consult you about. There is a young man in Turkey named al-Yarbozi or al-Jarbozi, he is Iraqi, he is from the group of Sarur, and he is the author of a book on the ruling of the one who abandons prayer, declaring him an apostate who has left the religion. So he caused a severe fitnah in Yugoslavia, and they now see this Orhan and his father and his family, his father built a mosque, they see them as Wahhabis, they think that they are the ones who were Wahhabized.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: So I told him, we will pass through the country, if Allah wills, we will speak to them about the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the ruling of the one who abandons prayer, and we will clarify to them, meaning we will set things right there, if Allah wills. And one of our brothers from here, from the Yugoslavs, is also severe in his country, meaning he used to say things that deviate greatly from the statements of the people of the Sunnah and the community, especially regarding takfir, because those countries only care about the one who abandons prayer, so he would declare them out of the religion according to the Hanbali school. Perhaps Allah, Mighty and Majestic, we ask Him, Blessed and Exalted is He, to make us beneficial there.
The Shaykh: If Allah wills, we hope for your success.
The questioner: It is only a work trip, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I mean.
The questioner: By nature, we are working.
The Shaykh: Religion and worldly affairs, praise be to Allah.
The questioner: But this is what I wanted to tell you, if Allah wills, I have a question, and I hope I will not take up too much of your time, regarding Abu Ahmad.
Abu Malik: You are a blessing, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: May Allah bless you. We ask Allah for well-being and safety. He is wronged, he is wronged without a doubt, and those who wrong him are wronging twice, wronging themselves and wronging others. Allahu Akbar.
The questioner: By Allah, my Shaykh, they are depriving him of his right.
