The questioner : Shaykh ...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Okay, what is drunk in Paradise?
The Shaykh : No, he did not say what is drunk; he said that one will not be thirsty. That means drinking in Paradise is for the sake of enjoyment and pleasure. Yes, it is not for the sake of need; it is not for the sake of need, but for pleasure. Yes, Ghannam.
The questioner : Okay, the hypocrites ... what happens to them on the Sirat?
The Shaykh : No, no, in the plains of the Day of Resurrection, meaning before the Sirat, before the Sirat. In fact, only a believer crosses the Sirat, but as for the sinners, what happens to them does happen.
The questioner : ... in this world, they walk on the Sirat ...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And the light is extinguished.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, it is not that.
The questioner : Shaykh, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is drinking from the Pool of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a punishment?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Is drinking from the Pool of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a punishment or a mercy?
The Shaykh : No, it is a mercy. Drinking from the Messenger’s Pool is a punishment!
The questioner : You are saying that it is before crossing the Sirat.
The Shaykh : Yes. It is a mercy.
The questioner : And you also said that their drinking differs.
The Shaykh : It differs, yes. For example, the believer who holds fast to the Shari'ah as much as he can is not like the sinner. Yes.
