The Shaykh :“And so we parted from them when the people’s need for supporters and helpers *** arose”
From whom did we part? From the first group, the people of denial of the divine attributes. We parted from them when the people needed supporters and helpers, meaning: despite our need for them, we parted from them, because we parted from them for the sake of Allah, so we are self-sufficient in Allah and do not need them. Yes.
“Lest we become like them on this day of ours *** and hope for Your forgiveness”
It means: we parted from them despite our need for them, so that our fate would not become like their fate on this day, and we hope for Your forgiveness.
