Reading from the author's words, with commentary and collation of manuscripts: "For this reason, you will find that most of these people do not find their lives pleasant except with what removes reason

The reader: "For this reason, you will find that most of these people do not find their lives pleasant except with what removes reason and distracts the heart, and whoever consumes"

The Shaykh : Who
The reader: "whoever consumes an intoxicant, or views something distracting, or listens to something pleasing, or the like"

The Shaykh : listening to something pleasing
The reader: or listens to something pleasing

The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: "or listens to something pleasing, or the like. And in contrast to that is His statement regarding the believers:

Those are the ones whom Allah will have mercy upon

أولئك سيرحمهم الله

For Allah hastens for the believers mercy in their hearts and elsewhere, through the sweetness of faith they find and the taste they savor, and the expansion of their chests for Islam, among other joys in faith, knowledge, and righteous deeds, in a way that cannot be described".

The Shaykh : Yes, and this is derived from His statement: The letter *sin* indicates certainty and proximity. The first mercy for them is what results from the expansion of the chest for Islam, and the light of the heart through knowledge and faith, and other things that a person hopes for from his Lord (Mighty and Majestic), and what he has attained of the great blessing in faith and righteous deeds. Yes.
The student: beneficial knowledge

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: beneficial knowledge

The Shaykh : We do not have the name "beneficial" here; it is not present.
The reader: He referred to it in the footnote.

The Shaykh : Fine.
