The questioner : And we ask here.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : About the report narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that this verse is about disbelief regarding his saying: He said, "It is disbelief itself," or something like this statement, or as it was reported from him (may Allah be pleased with him).
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So the report narrated from Ibn Mas'ud, which they believe is disbelief that takes one out of the religion, yes.
The Shaykh : If Ibn 'Abbas had said in his interpretation of the verse that there is no apostasy involved, he would have affirmed both types of disbelief.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He said, "Disbelief less than disbelief." This is explicit in that it affirms both apostasy and non-apostasy. Now, if it is authentic, and I do not recall it right now.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If that report is authentic, do they consider it authentic?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Now, we have given the interpretation of Ibn Jarir.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If that report from Ibn Mas'ud is authentic like this, we say there is no difference between this and that, because if Ibn 'Abbas had said in his interpretation of the verse that it is only one type of disbelief, meaning disbelief that is not disbelief of the religion.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But he did not say that; he said two types of disbelief: disbelief and disbelief.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Disbelief less than disbelief. Look, the verse might be forty-four, Allah knows best. We need the beginning of the verse, Sami. Here [Al-Ma'idah 5:44], [Al-Ma'idah 5:44].
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : About the report narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that this verse is about disbelief regarding his saying:
Then those are the disbelievers

Then those are the disbelievers
فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَAnd whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.
وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَAnd whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.
وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ
