(The Excellence of the Companions and the Successors and Their Deep Understanding) But the minds of the people were above this *** in rank and status, so their status is the greatest and their knowledge is the highest
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"But the minds of the people were above this *** in rank and status, so their status is the greatest"
"The minds of the people" refers to whom? To the Companions and the Successors. They were above your rank, meaning above the minds you possess, which are in reality foolishness. And their status means their rank, virtue, and position, so their status is the greatest.
"And they are more noble, and their knowledge is higher and more *** noble than to be mixed with the adornment of rambling"
Truthfully, may Allah have mercy on him. The knowledge of the predecessors was deeper, and their speech was less. It contained no complexity, no rambling, and no probabilities. Rather, it was speech built on instinct and nature. You find it easy, coming out without effort and being understood without effort, despite its depth.
"So for that reason, Allah protected them from what *** you have fallen into, the protection of the One who is kind"
What they fell into are these doubts that they call rationalities. All right.
