The Shaykh : And where is the answer to "idha" (when) 'Abd al-Rahman?[Saba 34:23]
The student: The pronoun in "qalu" (they said).
The Shaykh : The pronoun in[Saba 34:23] Yes, and His saying: "The truth" for the honor of the truth, 'Abd Allah, where is the governing word? Good, the governing word here is
The student: "Qalu" (they said).
The Shaykh : "Qalu" (they said), good. And is it necessary that what 'Abd Allah said is an object, or is there another aspect to it?
The student: Not in the accusative case, meaning?
The Shaykh : No, it is in the accusative case. Who knows?
The student: His saying: "The truth was said."
The Shaykh : Correct... an absolute object, meaning they said the word of truth. Yes, and what is the meaning of "al-'Ali" (the Most High)? 'Isa.

"The second: The argument contained therein for refuting shirk (associating partners with Allah), especially that which is attached to the righteous"
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Especially that which is, that which is
The student: That which is
The Shaykh : That which is attached
The student: That which is attached to the righteous
The Shaykh : To the righteous, not from, not from, not from. If he said "that which is attached to the righteous," there is no harm. Good, the argument for refuting shirk, especially that which is attached to the righteous, where is this argument taken from?

The Shaykh : Where is this argument taken from?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, correct. If the angels, who are who they are in strength and greatness, are struck unconscious and fear is removed from their hearts, then this is proof of the greatness of the Creator, (Glorified and Exalted is He), and that these idols which are worshipped besides Allah are far less than the angels. So how can a person attach himself to them? Good, and it is the verse that was said to cut the roots of the tree of shirk from the heart. This verse is said to be the one that cuts the roots of the tree of shirk from the heart. And that is because when you know the greatness of the Lord, (Glorified and Exalted is He), and that all the heavens tremble and their inhabitants are struck unconscious merely because He spoke with the revelation, (Exalted and Majestic is He), yes, how can a person associate with Allah a created thing, perhaps one he makes with his own hand, until the ignorant Arabs used to say they make a god from dates, and if it gets hungry, they eat it, yes. And one of them would go down to the valley and take four stones, look at the best and smoothest of them, and make it his god, and the other three as its brothers, placing them under the pot. How can these things be a partner with Allah, who has this immense greatness? "The third: Exegesis of His saying:[Saba 34:23]" We explained this a little while ago and clarified its grammar and meaning.
"The fourth: The reason for their asking about it" About what did Allah say? And what is the reason they are asking? What did their Lord say? Why are the angels asking what their Lord said?
The student: They want to remember...
The Shaykh : And other
