Explanation of the author's statement: It contains issues; the first is the interpretation of the verse in Surat al-Baqarah.

The Shaykh : He said: "It contains issues:
The first issue: The interpretation of the verse from al-Baqarah," which is
The student: And among the people

The Shaykh : and its interpretation has already been presented, yes.
"The second: The interpretation of the verse from al-Bara'ah," to the end of it.
"The third: The obligation of loving him (peace and blessings be upon him) over the self," is that how it is with you?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : I have a marginal note that says: "Perhaps the correct wording is the obligation of prioritizing his love," and this is correct because it is the implication of the hadith. Also, the phrase "over the self" indicates that there is a prioritization. "The obligation of prioritizing his love (peace and blessings be upon him) over the self, family, and wealth," where is this taken from? the self.
The student: The hadith of 'Umar.

The Shaykh : 'Umar.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, but it is not present.
The student: It falls under "people."

The Shaykh : It falls under "people" because your self is among the people, yes. And also, the verse itself: this one mentions relatives and wealth. The hadith does not mention wealth; it mentions the self, and it mentions the child, the parent, and the people. It does not mention wealth, but the verse mentions wealth.

The Shaykh : Okay, the third one. Okay, the obligation of prioritizing his love. The fourth: Did we establish for you that love is acquired or not? And we mentioned evidence for it, which is the hadith:
The student: Whoever loves.

The Shaykh : This is "whoever loves," but there is another hadith, because "whoever loves" is a weak report.
The student: The hadith of 'Umar.

The Shaykh : The hadith of 'Umar when he said: So his statement: indicates exiting Islam. The negation of faith does not indicate exiting faith.
The student: Exiting Islam.

The Shaykh : Yes, exiting Islam. Yes, where do we take this from? If someone said: "He does not believe, he is outside Islam," that is a claim, yes.
The student: ... from the hadith of 'Umar.

The Shaykh : Okay, now let's look at what is with us. This is taken from this hadith, because the sweetness of faith is an addition to its foundation. An addition to its foundation. Did you understand? So this is evidence that... no, but he says that the negation of faith, brothers, that the negation of faith, yes, means that the evidence is composed of the two evidences. This is a negation of faith that does not exit from his statement: .
The student: ... contradicted the doctrine of the Khawarij...

The Shaykh : No, no. The important thing now is that we have "he does not believe." No one can claim... that is, "he does not believe" in full faith. No one can claim it. If someone claims it, we say: "Bring the evidence." We say: "He does not believe, so faith is negated from him, because the principle is that the negation of an action indicates its non-existence. But we say: The second hadith, indicates that faith has not been negated, or not? Because the presence of sweetness is an addition to the foundation of faith.

The questioner : It is not taken from his statement: because he is addressing the believers. .

The Shaykh : No, because you do not negate faith except from what was a believer.

The questioner : Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is addressing the believers.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, yes, he is addressing the believers and says: "You do not believe until Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to you than all else." So the meaning is that if you do not do that, you are not believers. The important thing is that the evidence is composed of the two evidences. There is no confusion in this and no contradiction. And it has been established for us that the negation of a thing has three states. The principle is that it is a negation of its existence. If a preventer prevents the negation of existence, then it is a negation of validity. If a preventer prevents the negation of validity, then it is a negation of perfection, or not? Did it pass us? What is an example of a negation that is a negation of existence? "There is no faith for a worshipper of an idol," is that appropriate? Yes, yes, "There is no faith for a worshipper of an idol," this is appropriate, meaning he has no faith at all. An example of negation of validity: because a person might pray, pray in front of us, stand, bow, prostrate, and recite, to the end of it, but we say his prayer is not valid. An example of negation of perfection: this is a negation of perfection and not of validity, because if he prayed, his prayer was not invalidated. Okay, here, which of the categories is it? Negation of obligatory perfection or negation of recommended perfection? Negation of obligatory perfection. And this is a new rule. The Shaykh al-Islam says: "A thing is not negated except for the absence of an obligatory element in it, unless a preventer prevents that." So we say: The negation of faith here is not a negation of the best perfection, but it is a negation of the obligatory perfection that is necessary. Yes, yes, okay. The fourth issue.
