The Shaykh :"O our people, be ashamed of the people of intellect, and of the one sent with the Qur'an and the Most Merciful"
Be ashamed of the people of intellect, then of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then of Allah. Be ashamed of Allah. What is this speech that came from you?
"And by Allah, you did not know the rank of the Messenger, no, nor of the soul and the human being"
Yes, they did not know the rank of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) because they claimed that he is alive in his grave as he was alive in this world. They also did not know the rank of the soul and the human being, because it is obligatory for a person to elevate himself above these trifles and these claims that the foolish laugh at. And by Allah, they did not know the rank of the Companions, because if he were alive as they claim, the Companions would have buried their Prophet while he was alive. And if the strangled infant is asked on the Day of Resurrection about the one who strangled her, how could the Messenger be buried by the Companions while he was alive? This is the greatest flaw in the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Yes, he says:
"Whoever this is the extent of his knowledge, let him hide in silence and concealment"
That is, whoever this is the extent of his knowledge, that the Messenger is alive in his grave, what must he do? He must be ashamed of himself and hide from exposing his defect. How? By silence and concealment, so that he is not exposed before the people. Shall we go? Fine.
