The questioner : This brother Abu Tariq tasked us with the questions. Abu Tariq is known as the Palestinian Abdullah al-Abaylan.
Another questioner : Abdullah al-Abaylan.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : May Allah keep you in good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you in good and blessing.
The questioner : How are you? I hope you are well.
The Shaykh : I praise Allah for you. May Allah keep you alive and well, in life and in death.
The questioner : ... seriously, I mean.
The Shaykh : Excuse me. May Allah bless you. May Allah forgive you.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good and accept from you. This is just a good opinion of your brother; otherwise, we are neither in the caravan nor in the army.
The questioner : Glory be to Allah the Great, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Allah is the Helper. When I hear such words, I recall the old Arab proverb: "The crows in our land are becoming lions."
The questioner : Allah ... and may He bless you.
The Shaykh : And may Allah reward you with good, first for your good opinion, and then for ... and your inquiry about your brother, second.
The questioner : ... I am not successful.
The Shaykh : My brother Abu al-Harith told me recently that you called, but I did not have the honor of hearing your voice. So praise be to Allah who enabled me to hear it.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you and bless you.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. Tell me and give me good news: has your position settled, if Allah wills?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner : ... and we, I mean ...
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, if Allah wills.
The questioner : ... the methodology of the Salaf ... then by the grace of ...
The Shaykh : He, may Allah bless you, this grace returns to you, because proximity is in reality what has an effect, whereas we are far away. So may Allah record for you, if Allah wills, your reward and recompense, and store it for you on the Day when neither wealth nor children will benefit, except those who come to Allah with a sound heart.
The questioner : ... May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you, and may Allah reward us with all good for your sake.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : By Allah, you, I mean, please every lover and refresh every one who is displeased.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah. O Allah, to You is praise; we praise Allah.
The Shaykh : What do we hope from our Lord when I have reached eighty years of age and I am still active, going out and about? And every night we are invited to a gathering, for example, a celebration for a close brother or a dear friend who is far away. And perhaps you have heard that our brotherEid Abbasi : has been released, and today he came to me. He called many of our brothers, and they called him and welcomed him. You must have heard about his release.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah. Is he with you, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : He is with me, yes.
The questioner : May I speak to him, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : As for me, I say to you goodbye, at least for the present moment. Peace be upon you. And here is the brother, the professorEid Abbasi : whose kunya is Abu 'Ammar.
The questioner : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The Shaykh : He is with you now.
