The Shaykh : This is a superstitious, ignorant man, meaning, as they say: he chews on the old jurisprudence that was based on a lack of refinement.
The student: Allahu Akbar !!
The Shaykh : He reads the book *Tanbih al-Ghafilin* (The Awakening of the Negligent) and *Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din* (The Revival of the Religious Sciences), and that is his merchandise.
The student: Today in the Fajr prayer he said: "O Allah, we ask You by the right of our brothers standing at 'Arafah."
The Shaykh : May Allah guide him.
