Reading from the author's text with commentary and collation of manuscripts: "Then many of them - as has reached me - fix the door of the house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "Then many of them, as has reached me, fix the door of the house, and a great number of people go out on the Thursday preceding this Thursday, they perfume the graves, and they call this later one the Great Thursday, whereas it is with Allah the Humble, Despicable Thursday; it and its people and whoever honors it. For whatever is honored by falsehood, whether a place or a time, a stone, a tree, or a structure: it is obligatory to intend to humiliate it, just as the worshipped idols are humiliated, even if, were it not for their worship, they would be like other stones. And among what people do"
The Shaykh : And as I have
The reader: As
The Shaykh : You say among what
The reciter: Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And the other manuscript, answer, everyone
The student: I have, and as I have
The Shaykh : I have, it is not clear, but it seems like "and as," but since the majority have "and among what," we proceed. Yes.
The reader: "And among the abominations that people do: they impose levies on the plowmen" He said in the marginal note: "Al-akara is the plural of akar, and it is the plowman"
The Shaykh : What?
The reader: "Al-akara is the plural of akar, and it is the plowman"
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: "The farms and the like, and the meaning of 'they impose levies' is they estimate and milk them"
The Shaykh : What do they do?
The reader: "And the meaning of 'they impose levies' is they estimate and impose on them"
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: "They impose levies on the plowmen, most of which are disliked, from sheep, chickens, milk, and eggs. In this, two prohibitions are gathered: eating the wealth of a Muslim or a protected non-Muslim without right, and establishing the symbols of the Christians. They make it a time for sending out agents to the farms, and they cook in it, and they dye eggs in it"
The Shaykh : Eggs
The reader: "And they dye eggs in it, and they spend"
The Shaykh : Do you have "from the eggs"?
The reader: No, Shaykh, I added it.
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: "And they spend vast expenses in it, and they adorn their children, and other matters that make the heart of the believer shudder, whose heart has not died, but who knows what is right and condemns what is wrong. And many of them place their clothes under the sky hoping for the blessing of the passing of Mary (peace be upon her). Does anyone with the slightest life of faith in his heart doubt that a Shari'ah came with what we have mentioned of some of the opposition to the Jews and Christians, and is not pleased with some of these abominations from its legislation"
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, guide us.
The reader: "And they do what is greater than that: they paint the doors of their houses and their animals with saffron and white lead, and other things"
The Shaykh : I have "And the origin of all that"
The student: I have "And the origin of that"
The Shaykh : It is not clear, it is not coming after
The reader: I do not have it, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, but it does not come after it.
The reader: Except I have it after two lines, and the origin of all that.
The Shaykh : Yes, we have one line. Read what you have.
The reader: Yes, it says the last two lines dropped from the copy.
The Shaykh : Yes, read it if it has, if it has a benefit, we appended it.
The reader: "They paint the doors of their houses and their animals"
The Shaykh : Wait, "with some of these abominations," with some of these abominations, and what is after it?
The reader: "And they do what is greater than that: they paint the doors of their houses and their animals with saffron and white lead, and other things. And that is among the greatest abominations with Allah the Exalted. So may Allah the Exalted suffice us from the evil of the innovators, and success is from Allah"
The Shaykh : By Allah, it appears that this is not the Shaykh's words, but there is no harm. We ask Allah to suffice us from the evil of the innovators.
The student: Amen.
The reader: I mean up to the phrase, Shaykh, "And that is among the greatest abominations with Allah the Exalted," this is from the Shaykh's words.
The Shaykh : No, up to the phrase "and some of these abominations."
The reader: I mean everything I read is not from the Shaykh's words.
The Shaykh : By Allah, this is the apparent case, especially the last part; it is not in the Shaykh's style. Perhaps it was a marginal note at first and was appended. Yes.
The reader: We put parentheses around it.
The Shaykh : No, since he drew attention to it, he drew attention to it in the marginal note.
The reader: Yes.
The Shaykh : And as I have
The reader: As
The Shaykh : You say among what
