The reader: "And Allah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with the wisdom, which is his Sunnah, and it is the law and the path that He prescribed for him. So from this wisdom, He prescribed for him deeds and words that differ from the path of those against whom anger was invoked and those who went astray. So he was commanded to differ from them in outward guidance, even if no harm appears to many of creation in that, for matters, among which is that ".
The Shaykh : Now, his saying: "even if no harm appears" is an interjected clause, and his saying: "for matters" is connected to "harm in that." Yes. "So he was commanded to differ from them" is connected to his saying: "So he was commanded to differ from them" for matters. Did you understand?
