The saying of the Exalted: “So call upon your Lord for us to bring out for us from what the earth grows of its herbs, cucumbers, wheat, lentils, and onions. He said: ‘Will you exchange that which is lesser for that which is better? Descend to Egypt, for you will have what you asked for.’”

The questioner : Yes. It is not said that asking Allah for this is trivial.
The Shaykh : No, no, never. It came in the hadith
Let one of you ask his Lord even for the strap of his sandal. ليسأل أحدكم ربه حتى شراك نعله
… a person asks Allah for everything, every need.

The questioner : .............

The Shaykh : The meaning is: to whatever Egypt you go… this is after the wandering.

The questioner : Do they argue with Egypt to Egypt, meaning Egypt actually, or Egypt in our country?

The Shaykh : No, it is not in your country…

The questioner : And did our Lord inspire to Moses that he should go to Egypt?

The Shaykh : No, no, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) gave him Egypt from the day Pharaoh drowned. He said:
(27) And comfort wherein they were amused. (28) Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people. ونعمة كانوا فيها فاكهين كذلك وأورثناها قوما آخرين
[Ad-Dukhan 44:27-28]
And in al-Shu'ara He said:
We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.أورثناها بني إسرائيل
