Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And if he is from the other group, such as the non-Arabs, or not from Quraysh"
The Shaykh : or not from
The reader: "or not from Quraysh, or not from Banu Hashim, let him know that his belief in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in what he reported, his obedience to him in what he commanded, his love of what Allah loves, his imitation of those whom Allah has preferred, and his upholding of the true religion with which Allah sent Muhammad, obligates him to be better than the majority of the preferred group, and this is the true excellence. Look at 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) when he established the register, and they said to him: The Commander of the Faithful should start with"
The Shaykh : with us, so they said
The student: And they said
The Shaykh : with the waw, yes
The reader: "and they said to him: The Commander of the Faithful should start with himself. He said: No, but place 'Umar where Allah has placed him. So he started with the Household of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then those next to them, until his turn came in Banu 'Adi, and they were later than most of the clans"
The Shaykh : of most
The reader: "of most of the clans of Quraysh. Then this following of the truth and the like of it, he placed it before the majority of Banu Hashim, let alone the others from Quraysh"
The Shaykh : He placed 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) before them, for he was the Caliph, the leader of the Ummah after Abu Bakr. Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar.
The reader: "The second point is that the names 'Arabs' and 'non-Arabs' have become confused, for we have previously stated that the term 'non-Arabs' in language encompasses everyone who is not from the Arabs. Then, since knowledge and faith were more prevalent among the sons of Persia than among the other non-Arabs, they were the best of the non-Arabs, so the term 'non-Arabs' became dominant in the custom of the later common people for them, becoming a customary common term for them. And the name 'Arabs' originally was a name for a people who combined three descriptions. First: That their tongue was the Arabic language"
The Shaykh : was the language, without
The reader: "Second: That they were from the descendants of the Arabs. Third: That their dwellings were the land of the Arabs, which is the Arabian Peninsula, which is from the Sea of Qulzum"
The Shaykh : Qulzum, Qulzum with a damma
The reader: "which is from the Sea of Qulzum to the Sea of Basra, and from the farthest Hajar in Yemen to the beginnings of Sham, such that Yemen was included in their abode, but Sham was not included in it. And in this land were the Arabs
The Shaykh : This is the boundary of the Peninsula mentioned by the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him), and it is beneficial in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "
The Shaykh : or not from
