Explanation of the author's statement: It contains issues. The first: warning people against exaggeration.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"It contains issues. The first: warning people against exaggeration" Yes, where is this taken from?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Here The point of the warning: the author did not say "prohibiting people." The point of the warning is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) attributed this to Satan, and a person must beware of everything that is among the ways of the devils. [An-Nur 24:21] For this reason, we were forbidden to eat or drink with the left hand. Why?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Because Satan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand. But I eat my food and drink my drink. If you take the vessel with the right hand, it gets soiled with food, and then you burden the people who wash it after you. What is the solution?
The student: It gets soiled... and we do not soil the Sunnah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Meaning it gets dirty... and it does not dirty the Sunnah.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct. He says, do we soil the vessel or do we soil the Sunnah? Correct? Well, it is possible not to soil the vessel, is it not? You place it, for example, on your palm. Usually, a person's palm does not get soiled with food. Or we can also say, hold the handle of the vessel. If it is a cup, take it from the bottom. Yes, grip it with your thumb and index finger. There might be a little soiling, but the important thing is that we realize it is forbidden. Forbidden. It is disliked. If we realize it is forbidden, we know how to avoid it, do we not? Because the forbidden is not permissible except in dire necessity. Yes. And among the benefits...
"The second issue: what one should say when told, 'You are our master'" What does he say?
The student: The Master is Allah.
The Shaykh : I say, the Master is Allah, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, so that there is nothing in my heart, nothing that inflates me, so I become arrogant and proud, and so that this man does not become humiliated before me. Good.
"The third: his statement even though they did not say anything but the truth" Yes. The apparent meaning of the author's words is that their saying this is from leading astray by Satan. Yes, because the Messenger said: Sunan Abi Dawud 4806Sahih (Al-Albani) So this word has two possible meanings: either what you said is from leading astray by Satan, or the meaning is: say what you said, but beware of exaggeration, for it may lead you to exaggeration, and that is from leading astray by Satan. The apparent meaning of the author's words is the first meaning. Yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Here
And do not let Him lead you astray, nor let Satan lead you astray.
ولا يستهوينكم ولا يستجرينكم الشيطانO you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing
يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تتبعوا خطوات الشيطان ومن يتبع خطوات الشيطان فإنه يأمر بالفحشاء والمنكرThe student: ...
