(Description of the soil of the land of Paradise) And the earth is marble like pure silver*** like a mirror that the eyes can see in Muslim, comparing it to clear musk and ambergris

The Shaykh : Yes, as for his statement here, he says, may Allah have mercy on him:
"And its soil is from saffron or from the mu***sk that was not extracted from gazelles"
And that is because they say that musk is the blood of a certain type of gazelle, as al-Mutanabbi said:
"If you are among the people and they are among you*** then musk is part of the gazelle's blood"
And that this type of gazelle is tamed in a specific way, then afterwards it is hunted until it becomes tired, and when it becomes tired, blood comes out from its navel, then they come to these or these who take care of it tie this blood with a strong, tight string so that the blood does not return to the body, and so that nothing from the food reaches this part, and after a period of time the food is cut off from it and it dies, then it drops musk into its container, and what is its container? This ... that separated, and this musk, this type of musk, they say, is the best of the types of musk. Yes, yes.
The student: Does the gazelle die, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, no, it does not die, it does not die.
The student: ... that the blood if ... and dries.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: It falls, when it dries it separates, then afterwards they run it a second time because the blood returns. Yes.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Is the scent of musk better or is the scent of agarwood better?
The Shaykh : Yes. Musk is the standard for fragrance, it is better than agarwood, but the musk that exists now, it appears, is not the original musk that is used as the standard, otherwise now there is musk whose scent may choke some people, yes, it may not be the original. Yes.
