Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: ... Some of them, O Shaykh, when you greet them, they stare at you, they look at you?
The Shaykh : Is it a look of anger?
The student: I don't know, from the top of your head to the soles of your feet?
The Shaykh : Well, this is correct. He says: Some people, when you greet them, keep looking at you. The reason is that this Sunnah is dead to them; they do not know it.
The student: Who are the students who turn away from the mosque?
The Shaykh : No, that is a mistake. As for the common people, yes. Some of the common people, if you greet them, they stand up and say, "What is this knowledge?" because they are not accustomed to this. But a student of knowledge has no right to do so.
