Reading from the author's words while cross-checking the manuscripts: "And this deviation is a matter that human nature demands and Satan beautifies

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And this deviation is a matter that human nature demands and Satan beautifies, so the servant is commanded to constantly supplicate to Allah, the Exalted, for guidance to uprightness in which there is no Judaism or Christianity at all. And I am pointing to some matters of the People of the Book and the non-Arabs".

The Shaykh : In my copy: And we point, and in your copy it is "and we point". In this copy it is "and I point," which is singular, and "and we point" is plural, and the meaning is the same. Yes.
The reader: "And I am pointing to some matters of the People of the Book and the non-Arabs by which this community has been afflicted, so that the pure Muslim may avoid deviating from the straight path to the path of those who earned anger or those who went astray. Allah, the Exalted, said:
Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them ود كثير من أهل الكتاب لو يردونكم من بعد إيمانكم كفاراً حسداً من عند أنفسهم من بعد ما تبين لهم الحق
[Al-Baqarah 2:109]
. So He censured the Jews for what they envied the believers of, namely guidance and knowledge. And some of those who claim to be scholars and others may be afflicted with a type of envy toward one whom Allah has guided with beneficial knowledge or righteous deeds, and it is a blameworthy character trait absolutely, and in this context it is among the character traits of those who earned anger. And Allah, the Exalted, said:
(23) In order that you not despair over what has eluded you and not exult [in pride] over what He has given you. And Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful - (24) [Those] who are stingy and enjoin upon people stinginess. And whoever turns away - then indeed, Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy. (25) We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might. والله لا يحب كل مختال فخور * الذين يبخلون ويأمرون الناس بالبخل ويكتمون ما آتاهم الله من فضله
[Al-Hadid 57:23-25]
So He described them with stinginess, which is stinginess with knowledge and stinginess with wealth"
.

The Shaykh : And they conceal, here.
The reader: The verse is
Indeed. Allah does not إن الله لا يحب
[Al-Baqarah 2:190]
.

The Shaykh :
Those who are stingy الذين يبخلون
.
The reader: Before it is
Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful. إن الله لا يحب من كان مختالا فخورا
[An-Nisa 4:36]
.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, and it is so.
The student: He read it as
And Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful - والله لا يحب كل مختال فخور
[Al-Hadid 57:23]
.

The Shaykh : They are two verses:
And Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful - والله لا يحب كل مختال فخور
[Al-Hadid 57:23]
is one verse, and
Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful. إن الله لا يحب من كان مختالا فخورا
[An-Nisa 4:36]
is a verse, but after that he repeated the verse from the beginning, saying: Allah, the Exalted, said.
The reader: And Allah, the Exalted, said:
And Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful - (24) [Those] who are stingy and enjoin upon people stinginess والله لا يحب كل مختال فخور * الذين يبخلون ويأمرون الناس بالبخل
[Al-Hadid 57:23-24]
.

The Shaykh : It is like this; the verse, the one in al-Nisa, is
Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful. (37) Who are stingy إن الله لا يحب من كان مختالاً فخورا * الذين يبخلون
[An-Nisa 4:36-37]
, so the beginning of the verse is adjusted.
The reader: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, it does not contradict. Read it.
The reader:
And Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful - (24) [Those] who are stingy والله لا يحب كل مختال فخور * الذين يبخلون
[Al-Hadid 57:23-24]
.

The Shaykh : Is it in agreement with this?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, this is the end of the verse, indicating that the author intended the verse in al-Nisa, which is
Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful. إن الله لا يحب من كان مختالا فخوراً
[An-Nisa 4:36]
, and it is so in our copy as well.
The reader:
Whoever من كان
.

The Shaykh : Yes,
arrogant and proud مختالا فخورا
.
The student: Shaykh, it is clear in our copy at the beginning, Shaykh, that
(23) In order that you not despair over what has eluded you and not exult [in pride] over what He has given you. And Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful - (24) [Those] who are stingy and enjoin upon people stinginess. And whoever turns away - then indeed, Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy. (25) We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people, and so that Allah may make evident those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might. إن الله لا يحب كل مختال فخور * الذين يبخلون ويأمرون الناس بالبخل ويكتمون ما آتاهم الله
[Al-Hadid 57:23-25]
, whereas the correct verse is
Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful. إن الله لا يحب من كان مختالا فخوراً
[An-Nisa 4:36]
, so is it the verse in al-Nisa or is it so?

The Shaykh : This is it, and the one in our copy is the verse in al-Nisa, which is
Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful. إن الله لا يحب من كان مختالاً فخورا
[An-Nisa 4:36]
.
The reader: And Allah, the Exalted, said:
Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful. (37) Who are stingy and enjoin upon [other] people stinginess إن الله لا يحب من كان مختالا فخورا * الذين يبخلون ويأمرون الناس بالبخل
[An-Nisa 4:36-37]
