The Shaykh : He says: "They attacked the two revelations with distortion"

I do not know of any disagreement in it.
"They attacked the two revelations with distortion, for they called it interpretation with a second usage"
Glory be to Allah! They attacked the two revelations with distortion. Distortion means diverting the wording from its apparent meaning to a meaning that contradicts the apparent meaning. But they called it interpretation. With which usage? Is it with the linguistic usage or the legal usage? He said: "with a second usage" from their own perspective. So the distortion they called interpretation is in reality distortion, but they confused the common people and the small scholars, saying it is interpretation, while it is in reality distortion. Because interpretation in the Qur'an and the Sunnah does not exceed two meanings: either exegesis or the reality to which the matter leads. Interpretation in the Qur'an and the Sunnah does not exceed these two meanings: either exegesis or the reality to which the matter leads. For this reason, the author said:
"So look at al-A'raf, then at Yusuf and al-Kahf, and understand the implication of the Qur'an"
Look at al-A'raf. Al-A'raf. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:53] What is meant by interpretation here? Exegesis? No, the reality about which they were informed. And on this basis, His saying: means what they are waiting for. Is the question meant as negation? And "they are looking" means "they are waiting." That is, these people are not waiting for anything but the occurrence of what they were informed of regarding the resurrection and the recompense. [Al-A'raf 7:53] What? Its exegesis means? Its outcome and its end. He says, "those who forgot it before," meaning they left off acting upon it. [Al-A'raf 7:43] This is in the Surah al-A'raf. "Then at Yusuf" means then look at Yusuf, for it mentions interpretation, and that is the saying of Yusuf to his father and his brothers: And what is the meaning of interpretation?
The student: Exegesis.
The Shaykh : No, the occurrence of the dream, because he said it after they prostrated to him. He had seen eleven stars and the sun and the moon prostrating to him in a dream. And when they came to Egypt, his father, his mother, and his brothers, he raised his parents on the throne, and they all fell down to him in prostration. So he said: meaning the occurrence of what I saw in the dream. Good. "And al-Kahf" also mentions interpretation. Al-Khidr said to Musa: [Al-Kahf 18:78] Yes, I will inform you of its interpretation, meaning its occurrence when it occurs. And for this reason, he said at the end of the story: [Al-Kahf 18:82] meaning its occurrence and when you saw it with your own eyes.
So interpretation in the three places means the occurrence of a thing and the end of a thing. And this meaning is frequent in the Qur'an. Among it is His saying, the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:59] meaning outcome.

Look at al-A'raf. Al-A'raf. Allah the Exalted said:
Do they await except its result? The Day its result comes those who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth
هل ينظرون إلا تأويلَه يوم يأتي تأويلُه يقول الذين نسوه من قبل قد جاءت رسل ربنا بالحقAre they waiting
هل ينظرونThe Day its result comes
يوم يأتي تأويلُهCertainly the messengers of our Lord had come with the truth
قد جاءت رسل ربنا بالحقO my father, this is the interpretation of my vision from before
