The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. The words of al-Hafiz (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) that the harshness of the narrators is not correct?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the word of al-Hafiz (may Allah have mercy on him); there is no doubt that it is bias on his part. The word of Shaykh al-Islam is the truth, and it is very clear. And the fact that he says that the one who is recited to has weak reliance upon Allah—no, there is a difference between the person who seeks it and whose soul is attached to it and who relies on the cause, and a person to whom someone enters and reads to him. If we wanted to say it this way, we would say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had weak reliance upon Allah because of the recitation of Jibril (peace be upon him). But he, may Allah have mercy on him, is not that active regarding Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, to the extent that I have never heard the reciter of Shaykh al-Islam except in this place. Most of the time he says: Ibn Taymiyyah said.
The questioner : Shaykh Taqi al-Din
The Shaykh : What did Shaykh al-Islam say?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : Yes, so I have not heard Shaykh Taqi al-Din Ibn Taymiyyah being called Shaykh Taqi al-Din except in this place. Most of the time, when he says Shaykh Taqi al-Din, it is Ibn Daqiq al-Eid.
