Continuation of the story of Dawud (peace be upon him).

The Shaykh : I return to the story of Dawud. They climbed over the wall, meaning they entered his prayer niche through the wall. He was frightened of them. How was he frightened? The door was closed, so they came over the wall. He was frightened of them, as is the custom of humans. meaning we are two litigants do not go beyond the truth, meaning do not be harsh with us. Look at the politeness of this litigant. He says, "This is my brother." We are litigants now, and we are Muslims arguing over something of this world. What does the litigant say? Yes, what? This wicked man ate my money, he wronged me, he did this. He says, "This is my brother." Is your opponent your brother or not? If he is a Muslim? Yes, he is your brother. A ewe, and an ewe is a female sheep or a female of the sheep. meaning make me its guardian, meaning add it to my flock until it is complete. Say, everyone,
The student: One hundred.

The Shaykh : a hundred. So this one has no sheep, and this one has a hundred. meaning it implies that he was eloquent. meaning he overpowered me. meaning he brought arguments that compelled me to submit to him. What did Dawud say? He said: He believed the litigant without returning to his opponent. He has wronged you, and what caused Dawud, and what caused Dawud, and what caused Dawud, God knows best, was that he wanted to return to his worship, because he had locked himself in his prayer niche to devote himself to worship. So it was as if he wanted to resolve the matter quickly and say, for indeed some of them do not wrong one another, because each one of them speaks the truth, even if it is against himself.
