O seeker of the clear truth, and one who prefers *** the knowledge of certainty and the soundness of faith, listen to the words of an advisor who is well-versed in what *** people have known since he came of age until now (The Shaykh requested
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "A chapter on explaining the sufficiency of the revelation sent down from the sky over the following of men and opinions"
"O seeker of the clear truth, and one who prefers *** the knowledge of certainty and the soundness of faith"
He means, O you who seek the clear truth and prefer the knowledge of certainty over the doubts and conjectures spoken by these scholars, and the soundness of faith over the weakness of faith.
"Listen to the words of an advisor who is well-versed in what *** people have known since he came of age until now"
And by that he means himself, for he is well-versed in the people, meaning he knows them through experience since he came of age, meaning since he was young, until now. We do not know how old the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) was when he said this al-Nuniyyah, and therefore we ask you to clarify when he said it. From Tayyib.
