(The Conclusion of the Defense of the People of Hadith and the Clarification of Their Honor) I curse them as enemies, though I am not their equal *** So Allah redeems His party with the transgressor, a people who are by Allah, then His Messenger *** more deserving
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, in this passage the author (may Allah have mercy on him) says
"I curse them as enemies, though I am not their equal *** And Allah suffices His party with the transgressor"
Cursing the people of hadith as enemies means aggression and tyranny against them.
"Though I am not their equal" because they are better than you, "*** And Allah suffices His party with the transgressor" meaning: he asked Allah to make the transgressor a ransom for the party of Allah, and there is nothing wrong with this. The ransom of the transgressor for the party of Allah is either a physical ransom, in which Allah destroys him through him, or a spiritual ransom, in which the people of hadith prevail over these transgressors.
"A people who are by Allah, then His Messenger *** more deserving" A people, meaning the people of hadith
"They are by Allah, then His Messenger *** more deserving and closer to you in faith"
