Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"The fourteenth: As for the combination of the fact that 'Isa and Muhammad are the servants of Allah and His messengers"
The student: We have "the servant of Allah and His messenger"

The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: We have "the servant of Allah and His messenger"

The Shaykh : My servant of Allah
The student: Not "servant"

The Shaykh : My servant of Allah and His messenger
The student: In the singular

The Shaykh : Not in the dual, which is better because it is between his saying "Isa and Muhammad," who are two
The student: Is the singular permissible?

The Shaykh : The singular is not permissible. Now, as for the combination of the fact that Musa and Muhammad are the servants of... the servant of
The student: The predicate of the noun "being"

The Shaykh : The predicate of the noun "being," because "being" is a verbal noun and "Isa and Muhammad" is the name of the noun "being." Now, now, "Isa and Muhammad are the servant of Allah and His messenger," and what is the combination between them?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : What is it?
The student: Muhammad is the servant of Allah and 'Isa is the servant of Allah, it is not

The Shaykh : That is, the fact that 'Isa and Muhammad are the servant of Allah and His messenger means that their servitude is to Allah, and their messengership is for them. So they are two servants and two messengers. That means they have no right of lordship, even if they are messengers, even if they are messengers.
The student: Did he not pair 'Isa in response to those who said that Allah's statement that 'Isa is the son of Allah

The Shaykh : No, because reflect on the combination of the fact that 'Isa and Muhammad are the servant of Allah and His messenger. This combination is "the servant of Allah." In another combination that al-Hajjaj pointed to, it means that 'Isa and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), both of them, are a servant and a messenger. So 'Isa is not the son of Allah, but he is like Muhammad, a created being from among the created beings. For this reason, the author said "reflect," because it requires reflection. Now we have reflection from two angles:
The first angle: Where the combination of servitude and messengership was made for each of them individually. This is one.
And the second angle: Where the combination was made between the two men, so that it becomes clear that 'Isa is like Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and his description is that he is a servant and a messenger, not a Lord, nor the son of the Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He).
