Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for what follows: Last night we completed Surat al-Duha with what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) made pleasing for us in the discussion of its interpretation. At the end, we mentioned that speaking of the favors of Allah is done in three ways. Who can remember them? Yes.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Good, may Allah bless you. The brother says it is done with the tongue. How is one to speak of the favor of Allah with the tongue?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Well done, rest. One mentions what Allah has bestowed upon him among the people, but not in the way of boasting or arrogance. Speaking with the organs, meaning with the heart, how, how is it done?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : No, praise with the tongue. You have been with us since we started. And I do not think you are dull. Do you want to stand for a while? Good, stand for a while so that you pay attention. Who knows? Speaking with the organs, with the heart, with the favor? Go ahead.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : That is, he reminds himself of what Allah has bestowed upon him and acknowledges to Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) with his heart that these favors are from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Well done, rest. What is the evidence that the speech of the self, the speech of the heart, is called "hadith" or called "takhdir"? Go ahead.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Well done. The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Bulugh al-Maram 8:133. Say what the brothers said.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : He reminds himself of what Allah has bestowed upon him, he thinks about it, and he knows that it is from Allah, so he thanks Him for it with his heart. What is the evidence that the speech of the self is called "takhdir"?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Continue, continue the hadith: Continue or continue.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Or what? Rest, may Allah bless you. Good.
The third: speaking of the favors of Allah with the limbs, with the organs. How is that? Go ahead. Did you get it? Did you get it? Go ahead.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Well done.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : And if he is a scholar, he teaches, and if he is wealthy, he gives charity. May Allah bless you. Perfect. This is speaking with action. If Allah has made him wealthy, he wears the clothing of the wealthy and rides as the wealthy ride and wears the clothing of the wealthy.
