The Shaykh : We did not mention an example of interpretation by the saying of the Companions, but we will mention it now. The example is the Companion's interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Luqman 31:6] Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, in whom there is no god but Him, it is singing" This is the idle talk that some people take up to mislead from the path of Allah without knowledge. The fourth? The fourth level, yes?
