If we say "mulk" is from authority and "malik" is from disposition, does that mean authority is not the same as disposition?

The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. If we say "mulk" is from authority and "malik" is from disposition, does that mean...

The Shaykh : No, it is not from disposition. Authority and disposition mean the same thing; it is from disposition.

The questioner : It is from disposition.

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.

The questioner : "Malik" is from disposition.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : So, O Shaykh, is authority not the same as disposition?

The Shaykh : No, no, it is much, much, much more than disposition. Because the one who disposes may not own everything he wants, whereas authority has the power to discipline, manage, and direct. Are you writing in the book now?

The questioner : Me?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : With what? With what?

The questioner : With a pencil.

The Shaykh : Okay, what is its name?

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : "Mursamah," yes. Do you own it?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Are you the owner? Either you say... problem... hehehe.
The student : Hehehe.

The Shaykh : Come on, are you the owner or not?

The questioner : ...
The student: Hehehe.

The Shaykh : ... He says, "I don't know, maybe you are the owner! Allah knows best about the future, we don't know!" But you are the owner, not the owner in the sense of absolute dominion, is that not so?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. May Allah bless you. Yes, O Abd al-Rahman?
