(The Comparison Between the Texts of Guidance and the Books of Misguidance) O you who draw from the spring, do not be lazy, for the head of the water is near, so seek it, it is close and near. It is a spring, easy, close, wide, and sufficient.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"O you who draw from the spring, do not be lazy, for the head of the water is near, so seek it, it is close and near"
This means that the head of the water is close and near, and it is the Book and the Sunnah, which are closer than the books of these followers of the Mutakallimun.
"It is a spring, easy, close, wide, and sufficient if the two heavy ones descend to it.
And by Allah, it is not the more difficult of the two, but rather *** it is the easier of the two for the thirsty one.
This is clear. If you come to the Qur'an and read it, you will find it easy and its meaning close at hand. But if you return to the books of these Mutakallimun, you will find them among the most difficult things. Likewise, if you read the Qur'an, you will benefit from it and your certainty will increase. But if you read the words of the Mutakallimun, you will increase in doubt and confusion. We ask Allah for safety. And Allah knows best.
