The apparent meaning of the hadith: everything exists now, so why don't we call the camel a car?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The apparent meaning, O Shaykh, is that everything exists.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : I say the apparent meaning of the hadith is that everything exists, so why don't we say about a car... since everything exists?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I have not yet made the car be called a camel.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : But the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says camel and we say car. If he had said "mount," that might be possible, but he said "camel," camel.
The questioner : Well, Shaykh, it exists as long as...
The Shaykh : And as for cars, what makes you know that they will remain until the Day of Resurrection? If the gasoline runs out from the earth,
The questioner : al-Nawawi comes.
The Shaykh : Perhaps.
The questioner : The atom comes.
The Shaykh : Ah?
The questioner : The atom and solar energy.
The Shaykh : Perhaps they will delay with the atom. What does the atom produce? Solar energy. Who gets it? And solar energy also, you need devices to fill it.
The questioner : And it was also said that everything will be corrupted?
The Shaykh : In any case, we follow what the text brought, a camel and riding ten on a camel is not difficult. There used to be saddles for camels, we have seen them, saddles for camels on the right and left, they call them in our area "kawahij," and it appears that this name is Turkish. It is a kind of carriage in which four women ride, four on the right and four on the left, meaning if they wished to ride, four women could ride in it. Its width is more than what I have here,
The questioner : This one exists.
The Shaykh : It exists, yes.
The questioner : Its name is a howdah.
The Shaykh : A howdah, yes.
The questioner : As for the gathering of people on three ways, meaning if I want the desirers and the fearfuls, meaning those who are desirers and fearfuls, desirers and fearfuls, they fly, and some walk on foot, and some ride on camels.
The Shaykh : By Allah, if "ra'ib" comes to mean a bird,
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : Ah?
The questioner : Meaning the one with a rank improves his rank...
The Shaykh : No, "ra'ib," with a ghayn.
The questioner : Yes, indeed
The Shaykh : "Ra'ib," with a ghayn from "rawbah" (desire).
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : Is it not from "ratabah" (rank)?
The questioner : "Ra'ib" attains this rank, meaning... flying.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not know, because desire and fear, may Allah bless you, are in the heart. A person can be desirous and can be fearful. "Fold your wings to yourself from fear," meaning... do not be afraid, fold your wings to yourself. In any case, by Allah, I still have a problem, and if you see something, or otherwise, if Allah wills, I will review it.
The questioner : Review it, O Shaykh, I?
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : O Shaykh, people are gathered on three ways, desirers and fearfuls. They might be desirers and fearfuls, but all three ways, however their degrees differ.
The Shaykh : Yes, but if we say it this way, it becomes only two ways, it does not become two ways, the riders and those whom the Fire gathers, meaning if we make desirers and fearfuls a description of the riders and those whom the Fire gathers, there would be only two ways.
The Shaykh : We took three.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : I say the apparent meaning of the hadith is that everything exists, so why don't we say about a car... since everything exists?
