Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And likewise, any place or person from the people of Persia who is praised with true praise, he is only praised for his resemblance to the predecessors, until there may be a difference in the virtue of one person over another, or one saying over another, or one deed over another, because of the belief of each of the two differing parties that this is closer to the path of the earliest predecessors. The Ummah is in agreement on this principle, which is the superiority of the path of the earlier Arabs, and that the one who is superior is the one who followed them, and this is what is sought here. And the speech is completed by two matters, the first of which is that what is obligatory for the Muslim, when he looks into virtues or speaks about them, is to follow the path of the rational, religious person, whose aim is to know the good and seek it with his utmost effort, and whose aim is not to boast over anyone, nor to belittle anyone.

The reader: "Sunan Abi Dawud 4895Sahih (Al-Albani) So Allah the Exalted prohibited, through the tongue of His Messenger, two types of arrogance over creation, which are boasting and oppression. Because the one who is arrogant, if he is arrogant with truth, he has boasted, and if he is arrogant without truth, he has oppressed. So neither of these is permissible. If it is"
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: "If it is that the man is from the superior group, such as mentioning the virtue of the Banu"
The Shaykh : Perhaps we can stop here
The student: Listen
The Shaykh : What time is it for the questions?
The student: Listen, O Shaykh
The Shaykh : The difference between arrogance and oppression is that if he boasts with truth, he is arrogant, and if he is without truth, he is an oppressor. This is a subtle, subtle distinction that a person may not keep in mind in many situations. Yes.
