Are the texts definitive or probable?

The questioner : ... like those who say that the indication is merely a guess... how do we respond to them?

The Shaykh : We respond to them by saying that whether something is probable or certain is a relative matter, a relative matter. For example, this text may be certain to one person, probable to another, doubtful to a third, and completely unknown in meaning to a fourth, who cannot grasp any meaning for it at all, and to a fifth it is explained by They say, "These are the legends of the former peoples," because the doors of access to understanding the Qur'an have been blocked for them. So the issue of these matters is relative. That is, sometimes the indication for you in this text is definitive, with no doubt in your mind, like the sun, while for others it is probable, or they may even use it as evidence for the opposite of what you say, and that is incorrect. It is true that the texts contain something that is certain for you, and sometimes it is probable. Sometimes it becomes clear to you that it is definitive, and sometimes you forget the aspect of the indication and it becomes probable for you. Sometimes the same person hesitates regarding the same text; on one day it is definitive in indication for him, citing reasons for it at that time, and then he forgets those reasons at another time, and it becomes probable in indication for him, or perhaps he suspends judgment on it. This is a known matter, meaning everyone knows it from their own experience. It is a rational, innate matter. Yes, indeed.
