Commentary on the poet's saying: And for that, he was like one holding a burning coal, so ask *** His entrails about the heat of the fire. And Allah knows best what is in his heart *** The knowledge of the One is sufficient.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And for that, he was like one holding a burning coal, so ask *** His entrails about the heat of the fire"
What does a man holding a burning coal find in terms of heat? He finds a heat that no one knows except Allah.
"And Allah knows best what is in his heart *** The knowledge of the One, the Bestower, is sufficient
In the heart is a matter whose magnitude cannot be measured *** Except by the One who granted it to man"
So what is this matter? He says: Piety, tawhid (the oneness of Allah), patience, contentment, gratitude, and submitting judgment to the Qur'an. Six things. This piety is not the piety of parents, but rather piety is believing in Allah and the Last Day, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) mentioned. Yes, read.

The Shaykh : And what about it?
The student: The second one is the creditor.
The Shaykh : Is it the creditor? No, with a baa, yes.
