Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The student : I said to him: "It has been a month for you!"
Another student: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The student : It seems you are not aware of what is currently happening.
Another student: Yes, I was aware.
The student : About two weeks ago, or...
The Shaykh : Yes, he said that he was aware.
The student : What is the latest news?
Another student: Two days ago, a person named Abu al-Fadl was killed; he is from, I mean, from the Dawah group.
The student : Yes.
Another student: I mean, from Jamil al-Rahman's group, and he spends a lot of time with him.
The student : Okay, yes, yes.
Another student: He reported that in the end, he said: The Dawah group in Kunar attacked again and targeted the positions in Kunar belonging to the Islamic Party, meaning a new fitnah (trial/discord) occurred; the whole new fitnah happened.
The student : Allahu Akbar! Our Shaykh mentioned: "The only defect in news is its narrators."
Another student: This statement is from him.
The student : The Dawah group in Kunar are besieged, besieged for a long time, and now, the day before yesterday, did the statement reach us?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : A crushing attack by Hekmatyar's group on the Arabs besieged there; what are you saying, they are in control?! Who is actually in control of Kunar now?! The five parties that are in control of Kunar; the Dawah group has nothing in Kunar; Kunar is gone from them.
Another student: Where did you get the news from?
The student : From someone in Kunar, from the head of the committee who was present and is still present there; Kunar is gone from the Dawah Party; five parties are now in control of it!
Another student: Kunar was lost a month ago, not now!
The student : How can you tell me that the Dawah group...
Another student: Kunar was lost a month ago.
The student : How can you say that the Dawah group is attacking the parties?
Another student: I did not tell you that; I told you that the news was reported about Abu al-Fadl who came, and he is from the Dawah group.
The student : They are besieged now; Kunar is not in the hands of the Dawah group!!
Another student: This means he is present; if you want, I can bring you any of them.
The student : No, I am telling you now that the statement arrived yesterday; the urgent statement.
The Shaykh : If you permit: There is no contradiction between your news and his news.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Because it is possible they attacked them and they defended themselves; now the group there is suffering from severe hunger.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Their supplies are cut off, even food and drink.
The student : But where did this statement come from?
Another student: From the same, from the same Peshawar.
The student : Peshawar is a disaster, my brother; may Allah bless you; Peshawar magazines, Peshawar when the Islamic Party, but let me finish; the money of the Islamic Party and the money of Sayyaf, and the money of Jamil al-Rahman, fine; my brother, Peshawar is the center of fitnah (trial/discord) and the center of claims, fabrications, and rumors; I know them well, and I have connections with all the magazines there, fine; and they even made me a correspondent in the Jihad magazine, and I know their fabrications in it; my brother, do you not receive them, do not speak; I swear by Allah, as advice I tell you: Do not speak about anything you read from a magazine or from a publication that came to you from Peshawar.
Another student: My dear brother.
The student : Not at all.
Another student: Did you hear me say from a magazine, I?!
The student : You said publication.
Another student: A statement from the group itself, not a publication; the head of the committee that you mentioned and whose name you do not know; the head of the committee is the one who sent the statement.
The student : Sami' Allah?
Another student: From its head?
The student : Sami' Allah!
Another student: Sami' Allah, the head of the committee?
The student : No, the deputy himself.
Another student: Deputy of whom?
The student : Of the Dawah.
Another student: Deputy of whom, no, Sami' Allah, deputy of whom?
The student : Deputy of Jamil al-Rahman? Did he not appoint him?!
Another student: Jamil al-Rahman, may Allah have mercy on him; if the deputy is the Amir now: Sami' Allah!
The student : Yes, the deputy they appointed in place of Jamil.
Another student: Deputy, deputy, the important thing is the head of the committee that was appointed in the past and is still there now, and Hekmatyar disregarded all its statements and all the decisions issued from it; he is still there; it is not a matter of magazine talk; now they are besieged, dying of hunger; what centers are they attacking the parties' centers? All the parties are in control of Kunar; the five parties entered inside; this one controlled this, this one controlled that, this one controlled that, this one controlled; Kunar is over, it is finished.
The student : When did the parties agree to agree on this province?
Another student: How?
The student : When did the parties agree?! They agreed?! To agree on this province?! How does this news reach you.
Another student: Yes, we put our trust in Allah and He is the best Disposer of affairs.
The student : Tell me, like Hekmatyar's group, I accept, but you say all the parties agreed on this province; they will not agree.
Another student: Who told you, they divided it up and the problem was solved; Allahu Akbar; there is no power or strength except with Allah!
The student : I swear by Allah, I do not believe this news even if I see it there myself, and I think, and Allah knows best, you also do not believe it until you go yourself and see.
The Shaykh : Have you previously gone to Kunar?
The student : No, I have not gone.
The Shaykh : You have not gone!
The student : I will go myself this time, and the matters will become clear, with the permission of Allah; all the statements will come, if Allah wills.
Another student: You send the news from there with our brother the Shaykh.
The student : It is not my case, if Allah wills, with the permission of Allah, if an opportunity presents itself for me.
The student : I said to him: "It has been a month for you!"
Another student: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
