The Shaykh : He says: clinging, as if I... This "as if" (kanna) is for comparison. We have previously mentioned that if "kanna" enters a derived word, it is for expectation, but if it enters a static word, it is for comparison. Here, it entered a static word, "as if I am looking," because "looking" (anthur) is from "looking" (al-nazar), meaning it is as if he is right in front of me now, due to the strength of my certainty about it.
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3091Da'if (Darussalam) What is the saddle strap (nisa')? The saddle strap is the belt that ties the saddle, and it is called the belly strap (butnah) or the inner strap (bitan) because it is tied around the belly. But the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)...
because he is walking and the stones are striking his feet. And it is as if, and God knows best, there is a kind of speed in his walking, but he does not feel it in that state because he wants to present his excuse, and it is as if it is a strong excuse. As for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) , because Allah said to him: [At-Tawbah 9:65] So he did not turn to look at this man out of contempt for him, nor did he say anything more to him, in obedience to the command of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And the statement to which Allah guided him is sufficient; it is sufficient as a rebuke.
The questioner : The completion of the verse...
The Shaykh : No, it is not what they were reciting, because "Do not offer excuses" is the apparent meaning of Allah's speech. Therefore, He said:[At-Tawbah 9:66] in the reading "If We pardon" (in-na na'fu), and there is a reading: There are two readings, but in the famous reading, "If We pardon" (in-na na'fu) and "We punish" (nu'adhdhib), the speech is attributed to Allah.
The questioner : Shaykh, "and His Messenger" is here.
The Shaykh : Where?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, "and His Messenger."
The questioner : In the same pattern of speech.
The Shaykh : That is, in the pattern of the verse. Now, the discussion of the ruling on mocking Allah and His Messenger and His verses has already been presented. And the author mentions issues regarding it.
The questioner : The statement of Awf ibn Malik: "I lied, but you are a hypocrite." The word "but" (lakin) after "you are"?
The Shaykh : It is for correction (istidrak), meaning: I lied, I did not intend that, but you are...
The questioner : Does that mean he excused Awf?
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, yes.
Ibn 'Umar said: "It is as if I am looking at him"
قال ابن عمر كأني أنظر إليهthe heavy breathing of Al-Qiswa, the she camel of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
متعلقا بنسعة ناقة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمAnd he also said: "And the stones were striking his feet"
ويقول أيضا : وإن الحجارة لتنكب رجليهSo he said to him: "Do you mock Allah, His verses, and His Messenger?" He did not turn to look at him, nor did he say anything more to him.
فيقول له : أبالله وآياته ورسوله كنتم تستهزئون ، ما يلتفت إليه وما يزيده عليهSay, "Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?"
قل أبالله وآياته ورسوله كنتم تستهزئونThe questioner : The completion of the verse...
The Shaykh : No, it is not what they were reciting, because "Do not offer excuses" is the apparent meaning of Allah's speech. Therefore, He said:
Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief. If We pardon one faction
لا تعتذروا قد كفرتم بعد إيمانكم إن نعف عن طائفةIf He pardons a group of you, a group will be punished
إن يُعف عن طائفة منكم تُعَذّب طائفةThe questioner : Shaykh, "and His Messenger" is here.
