Urging the Unity of the Muslim Ummah on the Book and the Sunnah, and an Explanation of the Statement of Allah the Exalted

The Shaykh : So, from this place and from the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we call upon the scholars of the Muslim Ummah to try with all their might to unite the word of the Muslims, not on the basis of partisanship and fanaticism, but on the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Every believing person cannot but return to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in his dispute, because Allah says: . If they are called to Allah, to His Book, and to His Messenger, to himself in his lifetime, and to his Sunnah after his death, they should say: "We hear and we obey." It is impossible for a believer, ever, to say when called to the Book and the Sunnah: "I do not want that." He must accept it. Therefore, He said, and Allah the Exalted said in another verse: .
In this verse, there are several emphases. Who will count them for me? There are several emphases in the verse. Please.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : No, these are not the emphases of the verse. .
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : The oath, here.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Where is the negation? The negation of faith is not sufficient for emphasis. Rest. . What do you see if the wording of the verse were ? Would the speech be sound? Yes, it is sound, but the "la" (not) came for attention and emphasis, as in the statement of Allah the Exalted: . The meaning is that He swears by this land, and He does not negate the swearing by it, but the "la" here comes for attention and affirmation. Look, He affirmed this phrase with "la," with the oath, and with the lordship of Allah the Exalted over His Messenger, because the lordship of Allah over His Messenger is a special lordship, not like the general lordship. Allah is the Lord of everything, as He said the Exalted: . But His lordship over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not like His lordship over the general people, because it is a special lordship that necessitated that Allah bestow upon him the message. Then He said: , meaning they make you a judge in what is disputed. "Shajara" and "shajr" mean what?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : "Shajr" means dispute. "In what is disputed among them" means in the dispute that occurs among them. . Meaning, it is not sufficient to refer to arbitration, because perhaps we refer to a judge, but if he rules against me, I feel distress and discomfort in my soul. Here it says: . Thirdly: , they should hasten to execute the ruling. It is not sufficient to accept the ruling and not have discomfort in one's soul, but one must submit in full submission. And the meaning of "submit in full submission" is: Yes, execute the ruling, execute the ruling completely. An example of that: Two men dispute over an issue of religion. When is the faith? Is the faith that they refer to the opinion of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, or al-Shafi'i, or Malik, or Abu Hanifah, or al-Thawri, or Ibn Hazm, or other scholars? Or is the requirement of faith that they refer to what? To the Book and the Sunnah. Good. The two men refer to the Book and the Sunnah, and the ruling agrees with one of them and not the other. The one who was not granted the truth feels discomfort in his soul. Is his faith complete? Answer, people. No. Why? Because there is discomfort in his heart. The heart must be open to the ruling of Allah and His Messenger. Good.
Thirdly: He made the Book and the Sunnah the judge, and there was no discomfort in his heart, but he delayed in execution, he did not execute it. Is his faith complete? No. Why? Because he did not submit in full submission, he did not submit in full submission. And if we look at the scholars of the Muslims today, we find, with great regret, that each of them is fanatical about the opinion of so-and-so and so-and-so without referring to the Book and the Sunnah. And this is an error, a great error.
