The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: "It is likely that he (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed this to Salman, the Persian of noble lineage and renowned virtues, to warn the rest of the Persians, for Allah had informed him that Satan may call some souls to something of this kind, just as when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Fatimah, daughter of...'"
The Shaykh : O Fatimah
The reader: O Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad
The Shaykh : daughter
The reader: O Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad
The Shaykh : There is no difficulty, because "daughter" is attached, and the one being called who is attached must be in the accusative case.
The reader: " "
The Shaykh : O, O
The reader: "Sahih Muslim 206a There was in this a warning to those who claimed descent from these three not to be deluded by lineage and to abandon good speech and righteous deeds. This is evidence that hating the Arab race and opposing them is disbelief or a cause of disbelief."
The Shaykh : Heh.
The student: That hating the Arab race
The Shaykh : race
The student: ... that some of the Arab race, he said that hating
The Shaykh : What do you have?
The student: Hating
The Shaykh : Hating, that is the apparent meaning, by the evidence of his saying:
"and opposing them" Yes
The reader: "This is evidence that hating the Arab race and opposing them is disbelief or a cause of disbelief, and its implication is that they are superior to others, and that loving them is a cause of the strength of faith. For if the prohibition of hating them were like the prohibition of hating other groups, it would not be a cause of parting with the religion or hating the Messenger, but would merely be a type of aggression. Since it was made a cause of parting with the religion and hating the Messenger, it indicates that hating them is greater than hating others, and that is evidence that they are superior, because love and hate follow excellence. So whoever is hated more indicates that he is more excellent, and it indicates at that time that loving him is religion, because of the increase in excellence therein, and because that is the opposite of hate. And whoever is hated specifically as a cause of punishment, his love is a cause of reward, and that is evidence of excellence. And this has come explicitly in another hadith, narrated by Abu Tahir al-Silafi in the virtues of the Arabs, from the hadith of Abu Bakr ibn Abu Dawud, who said: 'Ismail ibn Hamad' al-Zaghba "said: 'Ali ibn al-Hasan al-Shami told us, Khalid ibn Dali' told us, from Yunus ibn Ubayd, from al-Hasan, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And Harb al-Karmani and others have argued with this hadith, and they mentioned its wording: This chain of narration alone is questionable, but perhaps it was narrated from another route. I only wrote it because it agrees with the meaning of the hadith of Salman, for he explicitly stated in the hadith of Salman that hating them is a type of disbelief, and the implication of that is that loving them is a type of faith, so this agrees with it. And likewise, hadiths have been narrated, the indefinite article is apparent on them."
The Shaykh : likewise
The reader: "It is likely that he (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed this to Salman, the Persian of noble lineage and renowned virtues, to warn the rest of the Persians, for Allah had informed him that Satan may call some souls to something of this kind, just as when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Fatimah, daughter of...'"

O Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad, I cannot avail you of anything from Allah; O Abbas, the uncle of the Messenger of Allah, I cannot avail you of anything from Allah; O Safiyyah, the aunt of the Messenger of Allah

حب العرب إيمان وبغضهم نفاق وكفرThe Shaykh : likewise
