(The Initiative of the People of Hadith for the Texts and Acting Upon Them) And the caravan has reached the heights and performed tayammum *** from the land of Taybah, the dawn of faith, and they came to its gardens
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And the caravan has reached the heights and performed tayammum *** from the land of Taybah, the dawn of faith
And they came to its gardens and performed tayammum *** from the land of Makkah, the dawn of the Qur'an"
He distinguished between these and those. These people intended Madinah for the sake of faith and Makkah for the sake of the Qur'an. The expressions differ in the author's speech, because the Qur'an was revealed in Makkah, and most of the surahs were revealed in Makkah. Madinah is the abode of faith, as the Exalted said:[Al-Hashr 59:9] meaning: the Ansar who are in Madinah. So the author made Madinah the dawn of faith, and Makkah the dawn of the Qur'an, because its revelation began there. And they came, yes.
"A people who, when the text is confronted, *** fly to it in groups and alone"
When the text is confronted, they fly to it in groups and individually.
"And when the knowledge of guidance appears, they race to it *** like the racing of knights on a day of wager" These are the ones who truly have the right to boast. He says:
"And when they hear of an innovator who raves, *** they cry out against him in every place"
They cry out against him, making clear his innovation and warning against it.
"They inherited from the Messenger of Allah, but others *** have gone with deficiency and deprivation"
Who does he mean by them?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, the first group: they inherited from the Messenger of Allah? The People of Hadith. But others have gone with deficiency and deprivation; by this he means the people of ta'til (denial of the divine attributes).
"And when others are heedless of the text" and so on. We stop here.
The student: When they are heedless.
The Shaykh : What?
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
Yes, and when the knowledge of guidance appears?
The student: And when they seek help

The expressions differ in the author's speech, because the Qur'an was revealed in Makkah, and most of the surahs were revealed in Makkah. Madinah is the abode of faith, as the Exalted said:
And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them
