Question:

And it is known: his hearing is established in him, his sight is established in him, and his hand is established in him, but the intended meaning is guidance and success, this is a known matter among the Arabs and an extension of the Arabs' usage, and for this reason, it came in the other narration: () as an explanation for it, but the Sufis are ignorant and misguided, they do not understand, we ask Allah for safety.

A: They differ according to their beliefs, so whoever believes that the shaykh is worshipped alongside Allah; he has committed disbelief.
