Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for the first, or the first level: an example of it is the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: [Al-Infitar 82:17-18] This is a question, so what is the answer? [Al-Infitar 82:19] And among that, meaning among interpreting the Qur'an by the words of Allah, is that a thing is mentioned and then its opposite is mentioned, so we know the interpretation of the opposite by the mention of what opposes it. And among that is His saying, the Exalted: [An-Nisa 4:71] If someone asked you what is the meaning of "thibatan" (in groups)? We would say that what follows it interprets it, which is His saying: [An-Nisa 4:71] So the meaning of is individually, scattered, [An-Nisa 4:71] according to what the public interest requires in going out and departing for jihad.
