Their awe of them seized them, and their legs trembled greatly from the intensity of the shaking (A continuation of Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen’s refutation of this verse, stating that it is an exaggeration by Ibn al-Qayyim)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : With bowed heads, was he standing in submission as if he were in the presence of Allah, Mighty and Majestic? The answer is no. And we know that Ibn al-Qayyim and others who came after the Companions could never be in their reverence for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) as the Companions were in their reverence for the Messenger. So we ask Allah to forgive him.
“Their awe of them seized them, and their legs trembled greatly from the intensity of the shaking. Their legs trembled greatly from the intensity of the shaking”
Even this, glory be to Allah, means he is saying that from the awe of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), their awe seized them until their legs trembled from the intensity of the awe. This is not permissible; it is not permissible for a person to stand before the grave of the Messenger to this extent. It is true that a person, when he stands there, feels that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent to all people, that he conveyed the message and fulfilled the trust, and that he advised the Ummah and struggled in the path of Allah. But to stand in the manner described by Ibn al-Qayyim, no, by Allah.
