The reader: "For we know that the disbelievers may be answered, so they are given rain, and they are aided and supported and provided for, despite their supplication at their idols and their seeking nearness to Allah through them. And Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Isra 17:20] And He the Exalted said: [Al-Jinn 72:6] And the causes of the decreed matters include things whose enumeration is long; this is not the place for their detail"
The Shaykh : Is it "ta'dad" with a kasrah or "ta'dad" with a fathah? Is it with a kasrah?
The reader: No, Shaykh, it is not with a kasrah.
The Shaykh : We say that we have only found "tilqa'" and "tibyan" and a few words with a kasrah, and the rest are with a fathah, but "tilqa'" and "tibyan" came with a kasrah, and in other words I have forgotten, but "ta'dad" is not among them.
The reader: "And the causes of the decreed matters include things whose enumeration is long; this is not the place for their detail. Rather, it is incumbent upon creation to follow what Allah sent the messengers with, and to know that therein is the good of this world and the Hereafter. And perhaps, if Allah wills, I will clarify some of the causes of these effects in another place".
The Shaykh : May Allah have mercy on Abu al-Abbas. When will we meet him again?
The reader: He referred to it, saying: "Refer to the author's book, A Glorious Principle in Seeking Nearness to Allah and the Means Thereof".
The Shaykh : What?
The reader: Refer to the book: A Glorious Principle in Seeking Nearness to Allah and the Means Thereof, from page six hundred and eighty-nine to seven hundred and thirty-two.
The Shaykh : In any case, we need to find these causes in the aforementioned book. Second, it must be clear to us that the aforementioned book is after *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim*, because *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim* is among the last things he authored.
To each [category] We extend - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted.
كلًا نمد هؤلاء وهؤلاء من عطاء ربك وما كان عطاء ربك محظورًاAnd there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.
وأنه كان رجالٌ من الإنس يعوذون برجالٍ من الجن فزادوهم رهقًاThe Shaykh : Is it "ta'dad" with a kasrah or "ta'dad" with a fathah? Is it with a kasrah?
