That is, the fact that they are despairing does not mean that this must be the reality, correct? Just as Shaytan despaired of being worshipped in the Peninsula, yet he was worshipped. After this, we say that the despair that entered the hearts of the disbelievers when they saw the great conquest and the victory of Islam was that they said, "It is over; the Arabs cannot now apostatize." And this was based on their belief, whereas the reality is the opposite.
The Shaykh : His saying, Exalted is He:[Al-Ma'idah 5:3] What is the "al" here for?
The student: For the present covenant.
The Shaykh : The present covenant? What is "present"? Do we not have a demonstrative pronoun?
The Shaykh : "Today" refers to the present day, meaning the present day. Which day is it?
The student: The Day of 'Arafah.
The Shaykh : The Day of 'Arafah. Which day of the week is it?
The student: Friday.
The Shaykh : Good, you have done well.
The Shaykh : His saying, Exalted is He:[Al-Baqarah 2:173] Two recitations? There are two recitations; what are they?
The student: We have not taken them.
The Shaykh : Now we take it: with kasrah with dammah, meaning there are two recitations: to match the dammah in the verb The second recitation: according to the original rule, which is to put kasrah on the static letter when two static letters meet, this is one point; the dammah and kasrah on the noon and the noon is either with dammah or with kasrah, yes, the meeting of two static letters; the hamzah is a hamzat al-wasl, and is the hamzat al-wasl static or moving? It is static, but the original rule when two static letters meet is to put kasrah on the second one, that is the original rule, but here it was given dammah to match the dammah of the taa, because it may be easier in pronunciation it may be easier for the person than .
The Shaykh : What is meant by al-mukhmasah?
The student: Hunger.
The Shaykh : Yes, al-mukhmasah is hunger.
The Shaykh : In another verse:[Al-Baqarah 2:173] Is there a contradiction between them?
The student: No, there is no contradiction.
The Shaykh : How? Well, if is for carrion, and is eating more than necessity. But some scholars interpreted al-baighi (the transgressor) as one who rebels against faith, and al-'adi (the one who returns) as the sinner in his journey. Is this interpretation correct? Did you not mention it? La ilaha illa Allah — it appears you are forgetting.
In His saying, Exalted is He:[Al-Ma'idah 5:3] meaning famine, [Al-Ma'idah 5:3] meaning inclined to sin, and that is by eating without necessity or by exceeding necessity. But [Al-Baqarah 2:173] in another verse, so some of them said: [Al-Baqarah 2:173] interprets the verse of al-Ma'idah, and the verse of al-Ma'idah is among the last to be revealed, so it would be one who is not a transgressor in eating carrion and not one who returns to eating more than necessity. And this is an interpretation that matches the verse. And some of them said: the transgressors are those who rebel against the imam, meaning and not one who is disobedient in his journey. But it is said, where is this meaning from the verse? It is very far. For this reason, they said that if one is disobedient in his journey, then even if he is compelled and even if he dies, he does not eat from carrion, because they stipulated that the journey must be permissible. And the correct view is the opposite. The correct view is that the Qur'an interprets some of it by some of it, and that His saying: [Al-Baqarah 2:173] matches His saying: [Al-Ma'idah 5:3] exactly. In the noble verse, He said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:3] So do we take from this a ruling for the one compelled to carrion? So whoever is compelled, then Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. What do you understand from the verse? That is, whoever is compelled, then Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Does it mean that Allah forgives him? He does not punish him, He does not hold him accountable. It means that Allah forgives him and has mercy on him, so He forgave him the sin by consuming this forbidden thing and had mercy on him by making it permissible for him. Did we mention to you, regarding this verse or another, that the ending of the verse is taken from it as a ruling, or did we not mention it? We mentioned it. And from the examples of this verse, from its examples in the case of the highway robber: [Al-Ma'idah 5:34] meaning so it drops from them the... And we mentioned to you the story of a Bedouin who heard a reciter reciting His saying, Exalted is He: "And the thief, male and female, cut off their hands as a recompense for what they earned, a punishment from Allah. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." So the Bedouin said to the reciter: "You made a mistake, read it." So he repeated it as he had read it first: "A punishment from Allah. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." So he said: "Repeat it, it is not like that?" So he said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:38] So he said: "You are correct." The explanation of that is that He is Exalted and He judged by cutting off, and if He had forgiven and had mercy, He would not have cut off. And this is correct, this is a clear derivation. Well, so whoever is compelled in a famine, not inclined to sin, his sin is forgiven by his eating, and indeed it is made permissible for him by the mercy of Allah. Did we take its benefits, I think? Yes.
The Shaykh : His saying, Exalted is He:

The student: The Day of 'Arafah.
