Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And our brother 'Isam al-Maghribi is pleased to sit with you.
The Shaykh : Welcome, how are you?
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
Another questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Is the nearest roundabout more or less?
The student : For, I mean, the first roundabout you walk on, that is your nature!
Another student: Listen to the Shaykh's question!
The Shaykh : I did not answer!
The student : The Shaykh is telling you.
The questioner : In a specific matter, is it permissible to say, "I have relied upon so-and-so"? We may find some phrases, for example, here some people say: "And upon its parts I have relied," and the hadith: "Shall I not give the people good news?" He said:; meaning: upon their deeds, so it means...
The student : Did you not come until the time of 'Isha'?
The questioner : By Allah, my Shaykh.
The student : My daughter is the opposite... How are you, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The student : We are well, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : You are welcome.
The student : May Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh : Your first question?
The questioner : ... What Allah willed, your memory!!
The Shaykh : It is not yet time for you to forget someone like me!
The questioner : Allah is the Greatest, the blessing, the good and the blessing are in you, yes.
The Shaykh : Have you known, heard, or read a research... upon you, not just we rely upon Him as you asked here, it has become shirk.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : To clarify, I mean, but it is still verbal shirk, yes, we have no one but Allah and you! Do they not say this, Professor?
The student : Yes, by Allah.
The Shaykh : Our country is like this, but we do not want to favor all of this from the words, yes, please - now please, you - .
The questioner : You have kept us, my Shaykh, from food.
The Shaykh : No, you have not kept me, and especially I do not eat lentils for supper, but since you have invited us to bring it, it establishes his adherence to the Sunnah in this manner.
The student : I am Abu Husam, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Hmm.
The student : Abu Husam, I am Abu Husam.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student : Abu Husam.
The Shaykh : Abu Husam.
The questioner : These images are a natural scene.
The Shaykh : I am not asking you, I know, hehe.
The questioner : Hehe... May Allah reward you with good, I thought there was something.
The Shaykh : Hehehe...
The questioner : If Allah wills, we will be careful, my brother.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : With your guidance, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : The word of tawakkul, my Shaykh, is clear, but at-takallul, is it not contrary to the word of tawakkul in language? As I said, it was mentioned in the hadith, reliance upon deeds, so here he feared that the Companions would rely upon deeds, not for the word itself, but for the thing, meaning behind it.
The Shaykh : What do you mean by the word here?
The questioner : In the hadith, when he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 5401, the Companion said: "Shall I not convey this to the people?" He said: .
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : Yes, one might say, if this phrase were not permissible, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have remained silent about it, he did not say it...
The Shaykh : No, this is different from what we were discussing.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This does not contain reliance upon the servant that contradicts reliance upon the Lord.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : There is a great difference between the two matters.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He relies upon the virtue of the word of tawhid.
The questioner : Yes, so here we understand that the word at-takallul means: I depend?
The Shaykh: Yes, of course.
The questioner : Like what he said, a word he quoted from al-Dhahabi: "And I relied upon its parts": meaning I depend upon them, here the word is contrary, we used to hear some of the students of knowledge among us say it is not permissible to say: I relied upon so-and-so, from the perspective of what? I depended upon him, but this is shirk, it is tawakkul.
The Shaykh : No, this does not help here.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
Another questioner : There is a matter, I may have eaten!
The Shaykh : Taste this!
The questioner : Yes, I have tasted it.
The Shaykh : Before I tasted it.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
Another questioner : There is a matter, my Shaykh, some Muslims have wealth or valuable things, expensive manuscripts or such, and they say we fear for them in our houses, so they rent a box in these interest-based banks, they put these things in boxes and pay in the year the amount of two hundred dinars as rent for...

No, lest they rely upon them

The Shaykh : What do you mean by the word here?
The questioner : In the hadith, when he said:
Narrated 'Urban bin Malik: who attended the Badr battle and was from the Ansar, that he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have lost my eyesight and I lead my people in the prayer (as an Imam). When it rains, the valley which is between me and my people, flows with water, and then I cannot go to their mosque to lead them in the prayer. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I wish that you could come and pray in my house so that I may take it as a praying place. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah willing, I will do that." The next morning, soon after the sun had risen, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came with Abu Bakr. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for the permission to enter and I admitted him. The Prophet (ﷺ) had not sat till he had entered the house and said to me, "Where do you like me to pray in your house?" I pointed at a place in my house whereupon he stood and said, "Allahu Akbar." We lined behind him and he prayed two rak`at and finished it with Taslim. We then requested him to stay for a special meal of Khazira which we had prepared. A large number of men from the adjoining area gathered in the house. One of them said, "Where is Malik bin Ad-Dukhshun?" Another man said, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, "Do not say so. Do you not think that he has said: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah," seeking Allah's pleasure? The man said, "Allah and His Apostle know better, but we have always seen him mixing with hypocrites and giving them advice." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has forbidden the (Hell) Fire for those who testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, seeking Allah's pleasure. "
