The reader: In a study on the branches of faith
The Shaykh : By whom?
The reader: By Nayef ibn ...
The Shaykh : Nayef, please go ahead.
The Shaykh : Which two branches? Because they differ: jihad against the disbelievers with weapons, and this is with knowledge... and did you find two hundred? Even if we summarized it to about seventy... seventy-nine, and it did not increase? Fine, in which place?
The student: In the course of his explanation of the hadith of the branches of faith.
The Shaykh : Yes, but my intention is in the first volume. Well, fine, give it to the brothers... It may be of the same type as "Indeed, Allah has ninety-nine names; whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise," and the intended number may be sixty-nine, but it is not specified by the Shari'ah... In any case, you will find the scholars differ on this, and that is inevitable. Everyone thinks this is a branch, and the branches revolve around three things: what pertains to the heart, what pertains to the tongue, and what pertains to the limbs, and then they branch out.
