The Shaykh : Seventeen, "Fifteen: The explicit statement that they did not want anything but intercession".
Who took it from whom?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Hm?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : They did not want anything but intercession, and yet they fell into shirk (associating partners with Allah).
"Sixteen".
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : And what does he say?
The student: "And it is more astonishing and more astonishing that they read it in books of tafsir (exegesis) and hadith, and knew the meaning of the speech, and that Allah was between them and their hearts until they believed that the action of the people of Noah was the best of worship, and they believed that what Allah and His Messenger forbade is the disbelief that permits the shedding of blood and the taking of wealth".
The Shaykh : ... .
The student: "And they believed that what Allah and His Messenger forbade is the disbelief that permits the shedding of blood and the taking of wealth".
The Shaykh :"Sixteen: Their assumption that the scholars who made images intended that". And what did they intend? They intended that they would intercede for them and encourage them to righteous deeds, and this is a defective assumption as mentioned before.
"Seventeen: The great clarification in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 3445" And the meaning of exaggeration is excess in praise and exaggeration in it. He says: Sahih al-Bukhari 3445. And this which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade, some of this Ummah (Muslim community) fell into it, and even more severely, until they made the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the reference for judgment, and I seek refuge in Allah. The Christians said that the Messiah is the son of Allah, and they said he is the third of three, and these people made the Prophet everything.
"May Allah's prayers and peace be upon the one who conveyed the clear message".
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Not upon the one who conveyed, but upon the one who conveyed the clear message, and that is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes, and the meaning of "conveyed" is to deliver and clarify.
"Eighteen: His advice to us regarding the destruction of the extremists". How? By his saying: For the purpose of that is not merely the report, but the warning.
"Nineteen: The explicit statement that they were not worshipped until knowledge was forgotten, in which is the clarification of knowing the value of its existence and the harm of its absence". "They were not worshipped" means that these images that were made for those righteous people were not worshipped except after knowledge was forgotten and diminished. In this is evidence of knowing the value of its existence, and that the existence of knowledge is a necessary matter for the Ummah (Muslim community), because if knowledge is lost, ignorance takes its place, and if ignorance takes its place, do not ask about the state of the people; they will wander aimlessly and not know how to worship Allah or how to draw near to Him.
