Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And you were gentle in speech or you practiced flattery *** And you came to your discussion with oil"
This means that you are gentle in your speech with them, and sometimes you practice flattery with them. Flattery is agreement and pandering. For this reason, he said:
"And you came to your discussion with oil" meaning you are pandering to them, while they say about the people of the Sunnah that they are Hashawiyyah and those who ascribe a body to Allah. Yes, they are oddities and anomalies, and they describe them with defects that have no end.
He says:
"And you sat with them in your gatherings with the *** teacher with manners and the scale"
May Allah help us. This means that you sat with them in the position of a student learning from his teacher.
"And you were humble to the people with all humility *** until they lent you the weapon of the aggressor, until they lent you the weapon of the aggressor"
Yes. You were humble to the people with all humility, meaning you approached them, showed them affection, and became subservient to them, until they lent you the weapon of the aggressor. To whom?
