Commentary on the poet's saying: O Lord, they complain of us forever, with their rebellion and their oppression, to the ruler, and they confuse him until he thinks they are the supporters of faith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says, in explaining the complaint: the complaint is against the people of the Sunnah and the Qur'an, by the people of ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) and the holders of opinions that contradict the Most Merciful.
The author clarified in this chapter that the complaint comes from the people of the Sunnah and from the people of ta'til (denial of the divine attributes), but to whom is the complaint made? Here there is a difference. He says:
"O Lord, they complain of us forever, with their rebellion and their oppression, to the ruler"
Meaning: if they see one of us, they complain about him to the ruler, so he imprisons him and beats him, as happened to the imams and their followers.
"And they confuse him until he thinks they are the supporters of faith"
Is it "nasiri" or "nasaru"?
The student: Nasaru.
The Shaykh : With a yaa or with a waw?
The student: With a waw.
The Shaykh : With a waw.
"*** until he thinks they are the supporters of faith
They show him the misleading innovations in the form of the Prophetic Sunnah and the Qur'an
And they show him the affirmation of the attributes as a hideous matter, manifest in its denial
So they put on two veils of deception.
These people complain to the ruler about the people of the Sunnah and the community, just as Ibn Abi Du'ad did in complaining about Imam Ahmad to whom? To al-Ma'mun and those after him.
