The student: ...

The Shaykh : This does not appear to be the case, because it is unlikely that he would say:

construct for me a tower

ابن لي صرحا

[Ghafir 40:36]

and not build it. This is far-fetched, since he would say it while people are listening, either because they are present or because the news reaches them, and he will build the tower. Yes.
