The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, I did not understand the meaning.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : I did not understand.
The Shaykh : What? Make your question clear to me, and what are you saying? What is it?
The questioner : I am saying I did not understand. Yes, you are asking me what it is? And what else after "what"?
The questioner : I said I did not understand.
The Shaykh : You did not understand? What did you not understand?
The questioner : I mean his statement: "The discussion is about the causes of created things"; I did not understand this phrase.
The Shaykh : I mean the causes, for example, of the eclipse, for example, the causes of the winds, the causes of the rains, and the like, the causes of the lunar eclipse, the sinking of the earth, I mean.
The questioner : Do these not fall under reflecting on the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?
The Shaykh : No, no, his intention is the one who occupies himself with this and asks what the causes are, whereas a person who wants to look at them only on the surface and say that these are among the signs of Allah, this is not considered deepening one's knowledge or exhausting oneself.
