Continuation of the explanation of the author's statement: And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): "Hell will not cease to have people thrown into it, and it will say: Is there any more?"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Also, is it possible for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to attribute the people of the Fire to Himself? Because attributing something to Allah is what? It is honor and distinction. How can Allah (Mighty and Majestic) attribute the people of the Fire to Himself? This is not possible.
They said regarding the foot: "foot" means "the front part," meaning Allah the Exalted places His front part upon it, meaning whoever He sends ahead of the people, He sends them to what? To the Fire. So the saying: "Glory be to Allah the Magnificent!" What is this understanding? The people of the Fire are not sent ahead, and it is not the Creator (Mighty and Majestic) who sends them ahead, but rather and they are thrown into it. How do you say Allah sends them to the Fire? It means they fled from something and fell into something worse than it. They fled from purifying Allah (Mighty and Majestic) from having a foot or a leg, but they fell into foolishness, may Allah protect us, and into departing from the wisdom in the actions of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
And the conclusion, O my brothers, is that it is obligatory for us to believe that Allah the Exalted has a foot, and if we wish, we say a leg, in a true sense, without what?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Likeness. Now, regarding the manner of the leg, do we describe the manner of the leg?
The student: No.
The Shaykh : No, we do not describe its manner, because Allah informed us through the tongue of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that He has a leg or a foot, and He did not inform us how this leg or foot is. And Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:33] Now, if you want to erase the recordings so we can wipe this out.
The student: The private ones.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: The private ones.
The Shaykh : What?
The student: The private ones.
The Shaykh : No, no, the private and the public ones, and if it were...
The student: We will write them down and then...
The Shaykh : Now, yes, indeed. What is the practical benefit from this hadith? The practical benefit from this hadith is to be extremely cautious of the deeds of the people of the Fire, fearing that a person will be thrown into it just as others are thrown in. We ask Allah for safety.
The questioner : Shaykh.
The Shaykh : That is enough...
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Because Adam, who is named the father of mankind, says: It is finished.

Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed - and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allah that which you do not know."
