Explanation of the author's statement: And al-Tirmidhi has it, and he graded it hasan, from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: (Allah the Exalted said:

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, or the volume of the earth. The meaning of "earth-full" is like what people say, "the vicinity of such-and-such," meaning what approximates it, whether in fullness, weight, or volume. Yes.
With earth-full of sins بقراب الأرض خطايا
is the plural of khata' (sin), which are the sins, as Allah the Exalted said:
Yes, whoever earns evil and his sin has encompassed him بلى من كسب سيئة وأحاطت به خطيئته
[Al-Baqarah 2:81]
And in a reading:
His sins, so those are the companions of the Fire خطيئاته فأولئك أصحاب النار
So the sins are the major sins, and even if they were small. Yes, even if they were small, because of His saying, "Whoever earns an evil deed and his sin encompasses him." Yes.
And His saying:
and then you met Me not associating anything with Me ثم لقيتني لا تشرك بي شيئا
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3540Hasan (Darussalam)
"then met Me not associating." The phrase "not associating" is in the position of an accusative as a state (hal). From where is the state?
The student: From "met" (laqit).

The Shaykh : No, from where? From where?
The student: From the yā'.

The Shaykh : No, it does not work from the yā', because "met Me" ... upon Allah.
The student: From the doer (fā'il).

The Shaykh : From the tā', yes, from the doer. The tā' means "I met Me in the state of not associating anything with Me." And "anything" is an indefinite noun in the context of a condition or a negation? In the context of a negation. Yes, so it implies generality, meaning "do not associate anything with Me," neither minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) nor major shirk. This is a great condition, not a light one. A person may be careless with it, saying, "I am not a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah)," but he may be a mushrik without knowing it. Love of wealth, yes, yes. Love of wealth to the extent that it distracts from the obedience of Allah is shirk. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Woe to the slave of the dinar, woe to the slave of the dirham, woe to the slave of the khamsishah, woe to the slave of the khumaylah تعس عبد الدينار تعس عبد الدرهم تعس عبد الخميصة تعس عبد الخميلة
to the end of it. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named the one whose concern is this a slave of it. He named him a slave of it. So this matter is not light; its affair is great. "Do not associate anything with Me." He has many great sins, but he does not associate with Allah. His self overcomes him sometimes, and he falls into these sins, but he is sincere to Allah the Exalted in his acts of obedience and worship. He says: "
I would come to you with earth-full of forgiveness لأتيتك بقرابها مغفرة
"
Praise be to Allah. This means that the good deed of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is a great good deed that expiates the major sins if one meets Allah. And His saying:
I would come to you with earth-full of forgiveness لأتيتك بقرابها مغفرة
means "earth-full of it," just as we said, what approximates it in volume, weight, or fullness. Yes. So in this hadith is the explanation of the virtue of tawhid and that it is a cause for the expiation of sins. The heading says the author: " Chapter on the Virtue of Tawhid " And what comes after that?
The student: And what it expiates of the sins.

The Shaykh :" And what it expiates of the sins " So this hadith matches exactly his saying: And what it expiates of the sins.
