Reading and commentary on the poet's introduction: As if the veil has been lifted and the dust cleared, revealing the faces of the people of the Sunnah, unveiled, laughing, and rejoicing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And that he should firm his feet in the ranks of the people of knowledge and faith, and that he should not take sides with any statement other than what came in the Sunnah and the Qur'an. As if the veil has been lifted and the dust cleared, revealing the faces of the people of the Sunnah, unveiled, laughing, and rejoicing, and the faces of the people of innovation, covered in dust, weighed down by darkness, on the day when faces will be made white and faces will be made black. Ibn 'Abbas said:
The faces of the people of the Sunnah will be made white, and the faces of the people of innovation, the sect, and misguidance will be made black تبيض وجوه أهل السنة وتسود وجوه أهل البدعة والفرقة والضلالة
By Allah, parting from the people of desires"


The Shaykh : Be patient, be patient... and the misguided sect
The reader:
The faces of the people of the Sunnah will be made white, and the faces of the people of innovation, the sect, and misguidance will be made black تبيض وجوه أهل السنة وتسود وجوه أهل البدعة والفرقة والضلالة


The Shaykh : The misguided
The reader: And the misguided sect

The Shaykh : Do you have it, and the misguidance?
The reader: ...

The Shaykh : Be patient, a moment, these are two copies.
The faces of the people of innovation, the division, and misguidance وجوه أهل البدعة والفُرقة والضلالة
This is the second copy.
The people of innovation, the misguided sect أهل البدعة والفِرقة الضالة
"The misguided" means we say: the sect, the misguidance, and the misguidance we say: the division. They are two concomitant things because the people of innovation are divided and the people of the Sunnah are united. Yes.
The reader: "By Allah, parting from the people of desires and innovations in this world is easier than agreeing with them when it is said:
Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds احشروا الذين ظلموا وأزواجُهم
[As-Saffat 37:22]
The Commander of the Faithful, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and after him Imam Ahmad, said:
Their spouses: their like and their counterparts أزواجهم : أشباههم ونظراؤهم
"


The Shaykh : "Their spouses" because he said "their counterparts" in the nominative case
The reader: "Their spouses: their like and their counterparts. And Allah the Exalted said:
And when the souls are paired وإذا النفوس زوجت
[At-Takwir 81:7]
They said: The one who holds the truth will be placed with his counterpart in his rank, and the one who holds falsehood will be placed with his counterpart in his rank. There, by Allah, the wrongdoer will bite"


The Shaykh : Bites
The reader: "There, by Allah, the wrongdoer will bite his hands when he realizes the truth of what was upon him in this world.
he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way. (28) Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend. (29) He led me away from the remembrance after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter." يقول يا ليتني اتخذت مع الرسول سبيلاً، يا ويلتى ليتني لم أتخذ فلاناً خليلاً لقد أضلني عن الذكر بعد إذ جاءني وكان الشيطان للإنسان خذولاً
[Al-Furqan 25:27-29]

Chapter: And it was by the divine decree and destiny of Allah that He gathered a study circle between one who affirms the attributes and the rising above, and one who denies them. So the denier asked the affirmer"


The Shaykh : This may be categorical, or it may be by way of illustration, because it is permissible to use an example in such a case, just as Allah the Exalted used examples in the Qur'an in such cases.
Allah presents an example: a slave owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَجُلًا فِيهِ شُرَكَاءُ مُتَشَاكِسُونَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِرَجُلٍ
[Az-Zumar 39:29]
Allah presents an example: a slave [who is] owned and unable to do a thing ضرب الله مثلاً عبداً مملوكاً لا يقدر على شيء
[An-Nahl 16:75]
while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path? وهو كل على مولاه أينما يوجهه لا يأتِ بخير هل يستوي هو ومن يأمر بالعدل وهو على صراط مستقيم
[An-Nahl 16:76]

The reader: "So the denier asked the affirmer about the hadith, asking as one who is not hungry for it, but his purpose was to present his merchandise to him. He said to him: What do you say about the Qur'an and the issue of rising above?"

The Shaykh : The issue of
The reader: "And the issue of rising above. The affirmer said: We say in it what our Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He, said, and what our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. We describe Allah the Exalted with what He described Himself with, and with what He described Him"
