Reading from the author's text while cross-checking the manuscripts: "And Allah, the Exalted, said: {Indeed, Allah does not love one who is arrogant and boastful.

The reader: "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]

. He described them with stinginess, which is stinginess with knowledge and stinginess with wealth".

The Shaykh : And they conceal, here.
The reader: The verse .

The Shaykh : .
The reader: Before it . He read something else.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The student: He read it .

The Shaykh : They are two verses: one verse, one verse, but after them 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 en

والله لا يحب كل مختال فخور * الذين يبخلون ويأمرون

[Al-Hadid 57:23-24]

".

The Shaykh : Is this how the verse is? The verse in al-Nisa' is , so he corrects the beginning of the verse.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, it does not contradict. Read it.
The reader: .

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' , and that is what we have as well.
The reader: .

The Shaykh : Yes, .
The student: Shaykh, it is clear to us here at the beginning, O Shaykh, , whereas the correct form of the verse is , so is it the verse in al-Nisa' or is it that one?

The Shaykh : Fine, this is it, and what we have is the verse in al-Nisa' .
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 and conceal what Allah has given them of His bounty

إن الله لا يحب من كان مختالاً فخوراً * الذين يبخلون ويأمرون الناس بالبخل ويكتمون ما أتاهم الله من فضله

[An-Nisa 4:36-37]

He described them with stinginess, which is stinginess with knowledge and stinginess with wealth, even though the context indicates that stinginess with knowledge is the primary intent. Therefore, He described them with concealing knowledge in other verses, such as His saying, the Exalted:

And [mention, O Muhammad], when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it."

وإذ أخذ الله ميثاق الذين أوتوا الكتاب لتبيننه للناس ولا تكتمونه

[Ali 'Imran 3:187]

the verse, and His saying, the Exalted:

⁽¹⁵⁹⁾ Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse, ⁽¹⁶⁰⁾ Except for those who repent

إن الذين يكتمون ما أنزلنا من البينات والهدى من بعد ما بيناه للناس في الكتاب أولئك يلعنهم الله ويلعنهم اللاعنون إلا الذين تابوا

[Al-Baqarah 2:159-160]

the verse, and His saying:

Indeed, they who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and exchange it for a small price - those consume not into their bellies except the Fire

إن الذين يكتمون ما أنزل الله من الكتاب ويشترون به ثمنا قليلا أولئك ما يأكلون في بطونهم إلا النار

[Al-Baqarah 2:174]

And He said, the Exalted:

And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe

وإذا لقوا الذين آمنوا قالوا آمنا

[Al-Baqarah 2:14]

but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, "Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers."

وإذا خلوا إلى شياطينهم قالوا إنا معكم إنما نحن مستهزئون

[Al-Baqarah 2:14]

".
The student: And when they are alone with one another...

The Shaykh : Yes, and it is the same for you, ?
The reader: .

The Shaykh : No, the correct one is what we have: . Correct it.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : But the context does not require this.
The reader: .

The Shaykh : Yes, .
The reader: "And His saying, the Exalted:

And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We have believed"; but when they are alone with one another, they say, "Do you talk to them about what Allah has revealed to you so they can argue with you about it before your Lord?" Then will you not reason?

وإذا لقوا الذين آمنوا قالوا آمنا وإذا خلا بعضهم إلى بعض قالوا أتحدثونهم بما فتح الله عليكم ليحاجوكم به عند ربكم أفلا تعقلون

[Al-Baqarah 2:76]
