Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"From whom did these rules come from all the Companions and the Successors with excellence"
This means these rules that you established, from whom did they come? Did they come from the Companions? Did they come from those who followed them with excellence? The answer is no. So his saying: "From whom did they come" is interrogative here, meaning from whom did these come? Did they come from the Companions or the Successors with excellence? No.
They established nothing
"The Companions and the Successors with excellence" established nothing but following their Prophet*** Not a loose intellect and so-and-so's opinion"
This means that the Successors who followed the Companions with excellence, as well as the Companions, established nothing but following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
