Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says:
"An apple that combined two colors, which I left as... the cheek of a lover and a beloved who had embraced
and intertwined, so what was their state? One turned red from shyness and the other turned yellow from fear.".
Yes, which one is shy?
The questioner : The one that turned yellow.
The Shaykh : No, the one who loves, and that is the beloved, because when they embraced and he kissed him, he turned yellow from fear, and that one turned red from shyness. This describes an apple, an apple that combines redness.
Our Shaykh Muhammad al-Amin al-Shanqiti (may Allah have mercy on him) recited it to us while he was teaching us tafsir, yes.
