May the following of the texts bring you joy and may the following of the Shaykhs bring us joy*** Do the two followings become equal? (Clarifying that minds are not equal to the texts such that they are preferred over them) And by Allah, they are not equal

The Shaykh :"May the following of the texts bring you joy and may the following of the Shaykhs bring us joy*** Do the two followings become equal"
Answer: No, we are pleased with disagreeing with the Shaykhs if they are upon falsehood, and you are pleased with following the texts, and this is undoubtedly a form of mockery of them (may Allah have mercy on him). He said:
"And by Allah, the minds of all the*** inhabitants of the earth are not equal to a sound text, this is clear"
Correct, meaning if we weighed the minds of all the inhabitants of the earth against a sound text from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), these minds would not equal it.
"Until we prefer them"
Meaning: they are not equal until we prefer them, meaning: it is not possible to prefer them because they are not equal.
"Until we prefer them over it, turning away***, interpreting, and distorting the Qur'an".
