Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "The second: that visiting graves for supplication at them and hoping for a response"
The Shaykh : And hoping, that visiting and hoping.
The reader: I assumed it was connected to supplication.
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: I assumed it was connected to supplication.
The Shaykh : To supplication? No, hoping is connected to visiting.
The reader: "The second: that visiting graves for supplication at them and hoping for a response to supplication there, hoping for a response to supplication"
The Shaykh : Hoping.
The reader: "The second: that visiting graves for supplication at them and hoping for a response to supplication there, hoping for a response to supplication in any other place, is a matter that Allah and His Messenger did not legislate, and none of the Companions, the Successors, or the Imams of the Muslims did it, nor did any of the scholars or the righteous predecessors mention it. Rather, most of what is transmitted regarding this is from some of the later scholars after the second century.
And the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) experienced drought multiple times, and other calamities befall them"
The Shaykh : What did they agree on?
The reader: They experienced drought multiple times.
The Shaykh : Did they experience drought?
The reader: They experienced drought.
The Shaykh : With a dal?
The reader: With a dal "They experienced drought multiple times, and other calamities befall them, so why did they not come and seek rain and call for aid at the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Rather, 'Umar took al-'Abbas and sought rain through him, and he did not seek rain at the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)".
The Shaykh : In this statement there is a benefit if one is precise, and that is: that hoping for a response at graves first occurred after the second century. This should be noted, because it may be asked: When did this happen? When did visiting graves hoping for a response at them happen? It is said: it was after the second century.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Other calamities, yes, other calamities.
The reader: "They experienced drought multiple times, and other calamities befall them, so why did they not come and seek rain and call for aid".
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Very well.
The reader: The correct one, O Shaykh, is "so why did they not"?
The Shaykh : So why did they not, yes.
The reader: "So why did they not come and seek rain and call for aid at the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Rather, 'Umar took al-'Abbas and sought rain through him, and he did not seek rain at the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)"
