Continuation of the explanation of the statement of Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding what he quoted: "."

The Shaykh : Ignorance has two meanings: the first is the lack of knowledge of a thing, and the second is foolishness and arrogance. From this is the saying of the pre-Islamic poet:
"Let no one be ignorant toward us, *** lest we be ignorant beyond the ignorance of the ignorant ones" :
This means that no one should be foolish and arrogant toward us, so that we become more so than he is. But this is pre-Islamic poetry. As for Islamic etiquette, Allah the Exalted says: . Subhan Allah! A person who has enmity with you and has wronged you—repel him with that which is best. And if you repel him with that which is best, immediately the reward and recompense will come to you: , meaning: a close friend in the utmost degree of friendship and closeness. Who says this? It is Allah Mighty and Majestic, the Turner of hearts. There is no heart among the hearts of the children of Adam but that it is between two fingers of the fingers of the Most Merciful Mighty and Majestic, and He turns it as He wills. So this one who was an enemy to you, if you repel him with that which is best, his enmity will turn into friendship, a friendship as if he were a close relative. So the result is that this noble verse: , when it was recited to the Commander of the Faithful 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), he stopped, and he did not strike the man, and he did not take him to task for his ignorance. It is necessary for us, O brothers, that when such matters of anger and rage occur to us, we should remember the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in order to proceed in accordance with his guidance so that we do not go astray. For whoever holds fast to the guidance of Allah, Allah says: . And Allah grants success.
