The reader: "And this evidence is indicated by the Book of Allah in more than one place, such as His saying, the Exalted:
Or have they other deities who have ordained for them a religion to which Allah has not consented? أم لهم شركاء شرعوا لهم من الدين ما لم يأذن به الله
[Ash-Shuraa 42:21]
So if Allah has not legislated the recommendation of supplication at graves, nor its obligation, then whoever legislates it has legislated from the religion what Allah has not permitted. And He, the Exalted, said:
Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed - and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allah that which you do not know." قل إنما حرم ربي الفواحش ما ظهر منها وما بطن والإثم والبغي بغير الحق وأن تشركوا بالله ما لم ينزل به سلطانًا وأن تقولوا على الله ما لا تعلمون
[Al-A'raf 7:33]
"
.

The Shaykh : His saying
oppression without right البغي بغير الحق
[Al-A'raf 7:33]
does not indicate that there is transgression without right, because all transgression is without right, but it is an indication of its ugliness, meaning: the ugliness of transgression and that there is no right in it.
Likewise,
that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority أن تشركوا بالله ما لم ينزل به سلطاناً
[Al-A'raf 7:33]
does not mean that if you have authority, then associate [partners with Allah], but this is an indication that it is impossible for an authority to exist, meaning: a proof that Allah, the Exalted, has a partner.
The reader: "And this worship at the graves is a type of associating with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority, because Allah has not sent down a proof that includes the recommendation of intending supplication at the graves and its virtue over others.
And whoever makes that part of the religion of Allah has said about Allah that which he does not know.
How beautiful is His saying, the Exalted:
of which He had not sent down [any] authority ما لم ينزل به سلطانًا
[Ali 'Imran 3:151]
so that they do not argue by analogies and narratives. And similar to this is His saying, the Exalted "


The Shaykh : And this which the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) pointed to is good, meaning: its meaning is that in this matter, there is no place for reason, and no place for narratives, meaning: shirk with Allah. So analogical reasoning is prohibited, and believing narratives is prohibited, and one is restricted to what Allah has sent down as authority. Yes.
The reader: "And similar to this is His saying, the Exalted, in His narration about Ibrahim:
(80) And his people argued with him. He said, "Do you argue with me concerning Allah while He has guided me? And I fear not what you associate with Him [and will not be harmed] unless my Lord should will something. My Lord encompasses all things in knowledge; then will you not remember? (81) And how should I fear what you associate while you do not fear that you have associated with Allah that for which He has not sent down to you any authority? So which of the two parties has more right to security, if you should know? (82) They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided. (83) And that was Our [conclusive] argument which We gave Abraham against his people. We raise by degrees whom We will. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing. وحاجه قومه قال أتحاجوني في الله وقد هدان ولا أخاف ما تشركون به إلا أن يشاء ربي شيئًا وسع ربي كل شيءٍ علمًا أفلا تتذكرون. وكيف أخاف ما أشركتم ولا تخافون أنكم أشركتم بالله ما لم ينزل به عليكم سلطانًا فأي الفريقين أحق بالأمن إن كنتم تعلمون. الذين آمنوا ولم يلبسوا إيمانهم بظلمٍ أولئك لهم الأمن وهم مهتدون. وتلك حجتنا آتيناها إبراهيم على قومه نرفع درجاتٍ من نشاء إن ربك حكيمٌ عليمٌ
[Al-An'am 6:80-83]
. So these polytheists, [those who commit] major and minor shirk, threaten the sincere ones with their intercessors. It is said to them: We do not fear these intercessors that you have, for they are created beings among the creation of Allah; they do not harm except after the will of Allah. So whoever He touches with harm, there is no remover of it except Him, and whoever He strikes with mercy, there is no repeller of His favor. And how should we fear these created beings whom you have made intercessors, while you do not fear Allah, and you have innovated in His religion a shirk for which no revelation has been sent down from the sky? So which of the two groups is more worthy of security? The one who fears none but Allah and has not innovated partners in his religion, or the one who has innovated shirk in his religion without His permission? "
.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: And has not innovated shirk in his religion

The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The reader: I have partners, O Shaykh "and has not innovated partners in his religion"

The Shaykh : And I, in my [copy], do not distinguish between shirk and partners, but it does not have a hamza.
The reader: I, in the second one, do not have a hamza; the first one has a hamza.

The Shaykh : No, if the first one has a hamza, the second one must have a hamza, and if there is no hamza in the second one, it must not be in the first one, because the second one is the first one.
The reader: Should I remove the hamza, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Yes, remove it, remove it gently.
The reader: "So which of the two groups is more worthy of security? The one who fears none but Allah and has not innovated shirk in his religion, or the one who has innovated shirk in his religion without His permission? Rather, the one who believed and did not mix his faith with shirk—these are the ones who are rightly guided. And this is the straight proof ".

The Shaykh : I have in my [copy] "so he is the secure one who is rightly guided ".
The reader: Yes, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh :"so he is the secure one who is rightly guided ", do you have "these are the ones who are rightly guided"?
The Reciter: Yes.

The Shaykh : No, the correct one is: "so he is the secure one who is rightly guided ".
The student: "these are the ones who will be secure, and they are the ones who are rightly guided "
The reader: This is the printed one.

The Shaykh : Yes?
The reader: It is printed, not a manuscript.

The Shaykh : In any case, the important thing is, so he is the secure one who is rightly guided, this is good.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : A copy with the copy mentioned by the brother.
The reader: "Rather, the one who believed and did not mix his faith with shirk, so he is the secure one who is rightly guided. And this is the straight proof by which Allah raises the people of knowledge and those like them ".

The Shaykh : Is it time for questions?
The reader: Yes, O Shaykh.
