A heart for Allah, a Sham heart, those lightning bolts from the tents, they understood flight, had it not been for clinging to hope, its tenths would have cracked like the cracking of a building (meaning of the word "tenths")

The Shaykh :"A heart for Allah, a Sham heart, those lightning bolts from the tents, they understood flight".
Sham, Sham lightning means its request. This is the heart of a man in the tents who saw the lightning after a long period of not seeing it; you find his heart, from the intensity of his longing for the lightning, about to fly.
"Had it not been for clinging to hope, its tenths would have cracked like the cracking of a building".
Look, what is the meaning of the word "its tenths"?
The student : His saying: "to one".

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : Does it mean ... ?

The Shaykh : No, just one.
The student : One to one.

The Shaykh : No, no, you are one, you are not two. So be one to one. Yes? Even Ibn Isa?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Is it not present? It appears to me, and Allah knows best, that the tenths of the house, the tent, are its sides; this is what appears. Therefore he said:
"Had it not been for clinging to hope, its tenths would have cracked like the cracking of a building".
And in any case, we will review it, if Allah wills.
