The people of Madinah asked the Shaykh to repeat the visit.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Perhaps this questioner, the honorable Shaykh, mentioned that we invoke Allah for your love and the love of all those present, saying: We love you for the sake of Allah, and we hope that you will repeat the visit to the Prophet’s City, the city of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). If only you would give us a lesson, O Shaykh...
The Shaykh : What?
The student: I say that if you would give us a monthly lesson, that would be better.
The Shaykh : Better than what?
The questioner : Better than visiting at long intervals.
The Shaykh : Well, I say, may Allah love the one who loves us for His sake and make me and you among the close friends of Allah. Now we are here for four nights; make that four months, correct? This is a critique, my brother. Which is better: selling on credit or selling for cash? In any case, I wish this, meaning I wish to be here always, if only for the winter and summer journeys. But there are many occupations, and among the most important for me is the large number of students there. If I leave, the students will become lazy, and we do not like that. Yes.
The questioner : He says, if you moved to Madinah, O Shaykh, the students would follow you.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is another matter to be studied and considered.
The student: May Allah reward you with good, if Allah wills.
