The Shaykh :"And all people are children in intellect, not *** having reached maturity, even if they were from the elders"
May Allah have mercy on him. This description of people is taken from His saying, the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:116] So all people are children in intellect, even if they are from the shaykhan, the plural of shaykh, so even if they were elders, their intellects are the intellects of children.
"Except for people who submitted to the revelation; they *** are the people of maturity and the most intelligent of humans"
So those who submitted to the revelation are the people of intellect and the people of maturity. He says:
"So he came to the children and they submitted to him *** like sheep when they submit to the shepherds"
Yes, he came to the children, the children of intellect, and they submitted to him like sheep when they submit to the shepherds. Who is it? The shepherd, and the sheep submit to the shepherd, and he leads them to the place of slaughter, or to the altar, right? And these people do not know, they are like them.
