Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. Allah Mighty and Majestic said: [As-Saffat 37:6-8] to the end. What is the position of the phrase “they do not listen” relative to what precedes it?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : In His saying “and as a protection,” it means protection from their listening to the assembly. Now, in there are two readings, Shaker.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Now, may Allah guide you. Regarding the reading , how is it transitive with “to” when it is transitive by itself? That is, “sami'a” (to hear) is transitive by itself, and here it says “they do not listen to.”
The student: ...
The Shaykh : He said “to” and did not say “they do not listen to the assembly.”
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Why, even though “sami'a” is transitive by itself?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Because it implies the meaning of “they do not incline their ears.” They do not incline their ears to the assembly. Now, the original of is...
The student: They listen.
The Shaykh : They listen, so the taa was assimilated and it became...
The student:
The Shaykh : Now, what is meant by the highest assembly, Ya Ghanim?
The student: The angels.
The Shaykh : The angels. Now, the original of “al-mala'” in the language is...
The student: The group.
The Shaykh : What kind of group were they?
The student: The nobles.
The Shaykh : The nobles among the people are called “al-mala'.” His saying, grammatically...
The student: ...
The Shaykh : I will not accept from you anything but one word. It cannot be anything but one word, just...
The student: ...
The Shaykh : An absolute object.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : An object for the sake of which. Correct. And what is the meaning of “dahuran”?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It means repulsion and driving away. That is, they are stopped in order to be repelled and driven away from the sky. Now, His saying[As-Saffat 37:10], brother, this exception is from what?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : I was not present. Yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : From what? From “they do not listen”? It has no “in it,” and it has “listen,” and it has the waw.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Except for what is consistent. My question is: where is the thing from which the exception is made?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, Ahmad.
The student: From the waw of the group.
The Shaykh : From the waw of the group in “they listen.” They do not listen except for the one who snatches. Now, on this assumption, its grammatical position is nominative as a substitute for the waw, and accusative is permissible. His saying[As-Saffat 37:10], what is the meaning of His saying “then a flame pursues him”?
The Shaykh : A flame pierced through him. Now, where does the flame come from?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : From the stars. His saying “thaqib” means...
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Piercing. Allah the Exalted said:[As-Saffat 37:11] We did not finish the lesson. Khalid al-Muzaynī. What is meant by “the one We created”?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes. The heavens and the earth and what is in them, because He said:[As-Saffat 37:5] Then He said: [As-Saffat 37:11] From the heavens and the earth and what is between them. It is clear here that there is a difficulty in using “man” (who), which indicates rational beings, even though the majority are not rational... Why does the side of the minority prevail?
The student: Because it is better.
The Shaykh : Because it is better and more noble. His saying[As-Saffat 37:11], the grammatical position of the phrase, Isa [As-Saffat 37:11]?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, do not accept the testimony of one another, because you are repelling... harm.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : What... but we mentioned it... do not defend him, perhaps he knows it.
The student: Introductory.
The Shaykh : Introductory? Why?
The student: An answer.
The Shaykh : What is the purpose of it?
The student: They are unable.
The Shaykh : They are unable? What? How are they unable? They did not claim that they are created, but to clarify...
The student: Their weakness.
When He said:, it is as if someone says: “From what We created?” So He said: [As-Saffat 37:11], they are weak in origin. Now, let us take the benefits. The verse says, Allah Mighty and Majestic, the beginning of the verse: “Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven” from the beginning of the surah. Subhan Allah.
(6) Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars (7) And as protection against every rebellious devil (8) [So] they may not
