The statement may come with the meaning of a command, and examples of that.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The question you asked, the statement, for example,
The imams are from Quraysh الأئمة من قريش
Hajj is 'Arafah الحج عرفة
.

The Shaykh : This statement is more important than the command.

The questioner : It means it conveys a command; it conveys obligation.

The Shaykh : More important, I say. May Allah bless you and forgive you.

The questioner : According to the scholars of usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence), that is.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. May Allah forgive you.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : The statement is more important than the command because it implies that the command is actualized, not just a command that is not carried out. Is that clear? Likewise, His saying, the Exalted:
Hajj is [during] well-known months, so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of ihram], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajj. الحج أشهر معلومات فمن فرض فيهن الحج فلا رفث ولا فسوق ولا جدال في الحج
[Al-Baqarah 2:197]
, meaning "do not be indecent." It is a statement, but the intent is prohibition, because it is stronger than prohibition. Likewise, the statement is stronger than the command.

The questioner : Is negation stronger than prohibition?

The Shaykh : Yes, it is stronger.
