Explanation of the author's statement: The eleventh: That they have inhabitants.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The eleventh, the eleventh, so it is.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh :"That they have inhabitants"
The seven heavens and the seven earths and their inhabitants. السماوات السبع والأراضين السبع وعامرهن
This is a good understanding by the author (may Allah have mercy on him), meaning that these lands have inhabitants. And what does "inhabitants" mean? Residents. And Ibn Mas'ud explained from Ibn 'Abbas that every land has a group in it, with an Adam like the Adam of this earth, and in it are the children of Adam, and in it is everything, but Allah knows best about this. The point is only that they have inhabitants. This is the hadith with us, the hadith of Ibn Abi Sa'id, which is clear.
The student: The earth.

The Shaykh : The earth.
The student: The shaykh's hadith
And their inhabitants are other than Me, and the earths. وعامرهن غيري والأرضين
then he mentioned.

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: Meaning after the heavens.

The Shaykh : Be patient. Yes, I understood that "their inhabitants" refers to something other than the seven earths, so it is not the earths. Yes, now we have returned from our statement, we have returned from our statement. I thought that "their inhabitants" was other than the earths, so on this basis, "that they have inhabitants" refers to...
The student: The heavens.

The Shaykh : The heavens, although the context of the author indicates that they are earths. The explicit statement that the seven earths are like the heavens. The eleventh: That they have inhabitants, meaning the earths. Where is this taken from? He did not mention... .
The student: He did not mention.

The Shaykh : Did he not mention anything? It is not apparent that the earths have inhabitants; it is taken from this hadith, because his statement "their inhabitants are other than Me" is before mentioning what? The earths.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: ... that the earth is seven like the heavens.

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: So the pronoun refers to the heavens...

The Shaykh : No, generally when things like this come, the pronoun refers to what the speech is about, the subject of the speech.
The student: Our shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes
The student: The shaykh's statement:
Their inhabitants are other than Me. عامرهن غيري


The Shaykh : Yes
The student: He says it is... on the heavens, because the seven and what is in them of inhabitants is other than Allah, and the seven earths and what is in them...

The Shaykh : No, this is not upon us if "they" refers to the earths, okay.
"The twelfth: Affirming the attributes, contrary to the Asha'irah"
The student: The Mu'attilah

The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: The Mu'attilah

The Shaykh : We have the Asha'irah.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : The Mu'attilah (those who deny attributes), there is no doubt, the Mu'attilah. Do you have a copy?
The student: The Mu'attilah

The Shaykh : Let's put a copy, let's put a copy. The one who has "Asha'irah" writes a copy for "Mu'attilah." Where is affirming the attributes?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, affirming... for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The discussion is in His statement:
and His word which He cast to Maryam وكلمته ألقاها إلى مريم

The student: ...

The Shaykh : ... in His statement "Say: There is no god but Allah," contrary to "I will bring you"...
Okay, meaning this is not the meaning of... attributes. There are many attributes, but this indicates the affirmation of attributes in general for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), contrary to the Mu'attilah. And we mentioned to you that the Mu'attilah are of different types, or not? Some of them deny the names, attributes, and existence. No, before that, some of them deny existence and non-existence, saying there is no existent and no non-existent. He is between the extremists of the Qarmatians and the Batiniyyah and others. And some of them deny existence but not non-existence. And some of them deny the names and attributes. And some of them deny the attributes but not the names. The attributes but not the names. And some of them deny some attributes and affirm some. And the discussion on these six types has preceded, and we clarified that all of them are Mu'attilah; they agree in the term "ta'til" (denial of attributes). Yes, the thirteenth. Yes.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, I will bring it to you.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, here he says "I will bring it to you," meaning he brought me such and such, meaning he came to me with what he had, for example.
"The thirteenth: That if you know the hadith of Anas, you know that his statement in the hadith of 'Utbah
For indeed, Allah has forbidden the Fire to the one who says: There is no god but Allah, not seeking thereby the Face of Allah. فإن الله حرم على النار من قال لا إله إلا الله لا يبتغي بذلك وجه الله
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 3:173
you know that his statement in the hadith of 'Utbah
For indeed, Allah has forbidden the Fire to the one who says: There is no god but Allah, seeking thereby the Face of Allah. فإن الله حرم على النار من قال لا إله إلا الله يبتغي بذلك وجه الله
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 3:173
means that he abandoned shirk (associating partners with Allah)"

The student: That.

The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: That.

The Shaykh : Okay, do you have "you know that his statement" Muhammad?
The student : Yes, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : You know that his statement?
The student: ... you know that his statement.

The Shaykh : In the hadith of 'Utbah
For indeed, Allah has forbidden the Fire to the one who says: There is no god but Allah, seeking thereby the Face of Allah. فإن الله حرم على النار من قال لا إله إلا الله يبتغي بذلك وجه الله
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 3:173
that he abandoned shirk.
The student: Abandoned...

The Shaykh : That his statement in the hadith of 'Utbah, here.
The student: That he abandoned shirk.

The Shaykh : Okay, and where is the news of "that" in "his statement"? "His statement"?
The student: Perhaps "that" is from "whoever abandons shirk"...

The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, that if he abandons it.
The student:
That Allah has forbidden the Fire to the one who says: There is no god but Allah, seeking thereby the Face of Allah. أن الله حرم على النار من قال لا إله إلا الله يبتغي بذلك وجه الله
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 3:173
If he abandons shirk...

The Shaykh : Yes, perhaps if he abandons, if he abandons, it is more correct. That his statement in the hadith of 'Utbah is if he abandons shirk. What I have is the apparent... that his statement in the hadith of 'Utbah is that he abandoned shirk. Meaning he repeated "that" a second time because of the length of the section. Meaning that his statement:
Allah has forbidden the (Hell) Fire for those who testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, seeking Allah's pleasure. حرم على النار من قال لا إله إلا الله يبتغي بذلك وجه الله
Sahih al-Bukhari 5401
means abandoning shirk, and not saying it with the tongue. This is correct. Where is it taken from? From his statement "seeking thereby the Face of Allah," because whoever seeks the Face of Allah with this statement cannot associate partners with Him ever. If this is evidence that it is abandoning shirk.
The student: That he.

The Shaykh : That he abandoned shirk.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, better, yes.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: Abandoned doubt.

The Shaykh : ... Abandoned shirk, that his statement.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : But the news of "that" in "his statement"...
