Exegesis of a verse and clarification of the intended meanings regarding seeking refuge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Another student: And by Allah, my Shaykh, perhaps I mentioned to you, my Shaykh, regarding the words of our brother 'Abd al-'Aziz when he cited ...
The Shaykh: The statement of Abu Hudhayfah, and that which you referred to, what is the statement of the scholars of exegesis regarding this verse? Is there anyone who says, first: that the meaning is when you have finished the recitation? No one says this at all. And second: is there anyone who says that the verse means both meanings: namely the meaning of beginning and the meaning of ending? This is a very important observation, in the sense that we interpret the verse with two meanings, whereas it is necessary that the intended meaning is only one.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: So either the meaning is if you intend to read, then seek refuge, or if you have finished the recitation, then seek refuge. Is there any exegete who said what they said? It does not exist except in their brains, if that is the correct expression.
The questioner : Heh.
The student: Our Shaykh, and I think, may Allah preserve you, that this is common in the hadiths?
The Shaykh : Of course.
The student: Meaning, Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3510Da’if (Darussalam), grazing occurs after the thing, not before it, and so on.
The Shaykh: This is reasonable and this is what is transmitted.
The questioner: Meaning, I do not know.
The Shaykh: We said both meanings.

If you pass by the graves of the polytheists, give them glad tidings
إذا مَرَرْتم بقبور المشركين فبشِّرُوهمWhen you pass by the gardens of Paradise, them feast.
إذا مَرَرْتُم برياض الجنة فارتعواThe Shaykh: This is reasonable and this is what is transmitted.
The questioner: Meaning, I do not know.
The Shaykh: We said both meanings.
