The reader: Word is an object in the accusative case, the marker of the accusative is the hidden fathah, prevented from appearing by the occupation of the position by the movement of the extra preposition
The Shaykh : Object in the accusative case, and the marker of the accusative is the fathah hidden at its end, prevented from appearing by the occupation of the position by the movement of the extra preposition, good, fine, the word "word" when an extra preposition enters it grammatically, but it is extra in meaning, it adds to its meaning, "word" is indefinite, and it is known among the scholars of rhetoric that all extra letters serve to emphasize, they serve to emphasize, and on this basis it emphasizes the generality of the word "word," because "word" is indefinite in the context of negation, so it becomes general, and it is one of the things that emphasize this generality, and I want to reach with this report that any word a person says, then he has
The reader: A watcher, ever watchful
The Shaykh : That watcher, ever watchful, every word, whether good or evil or idle, neither good nor evil, you have a watcher, an observer, ever watchful, present, even Imam Ahmad, a man entered upon him while he was groaning from illness, and he said to him that Tawus says: "The angel writes the groaning of the sick person", you know the sick person groans from the severity of the illness, so he held back, may Allah have mercy on him, meaning the groaning, out of fear that it would be written against him, so there is no word you say but it is written, and glory to Allah, how many words are written, we are now, if in this place, if we recorded our speech ten nights ago, just in this session of ours, how many tapes would there be
The reader: Many
The Shaykh : Many tapes, all this written will be published for you on the Day of Resurrection, a book you will receive published, and it will be said, read your book, so I say: "By Allah, a person who has everything he says written against him should reduce his speech" reduce his speech, because he will find this book published on the Day of Resurrection, every word, every word, but this watcher, ever watchful, writes the good and the evil, the good for you, and the evil against you, they may balance each other or one may exceed the other, but from the mercy of Allah, the good deed is ten times its like, and the bad deed is only its like, yes, in this verse is the warning against letting the tongue run loose, the warning against letting the tongue run loose, because everything will be written.
Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].
