 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا بابا دلا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشدوا لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل واشدوا أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد we are in the explanation of وصية الإمام عبد الرحمن ابن يحيا المعلمي لتلميده الشيخ محمد ابن أحمد المعلمي the request of the noble imam the illustrious scholar عبد الرحمن ابن يحيا المعلمي to his noble student محمد ابن أحمد المعلمي we stopped at the statement of the sheikh when he said فمن دع الله عز وجل anyone who supplicates to الله تبارك والتعالى أي سأل منه أن يرحمه and he asks for الله تبارك والتعالى to have mercy on him أو يشفيه أو that الله kills him أو يغنيه أو that Allah suffices him أو غير ذلك or other than that فقد عبده he has worshipped الله تبارك والتعالى ومن دع غير الله anyone who supplicates other than who supplicates to other than الله عز وجل أي سأل منه نفع غيبيا i.e. by asking an unseen benefit فقد عبد غير الله that person has worshipped other than الله تبارك والتعالى فأما الخضوع والتدل as for humbling yourself and belittling yourself طلبا لنفع الغيبي asking a benefit that's unseen then the shirk goes on to saying فإن الله تعالى for verily if Allah تعالى إذا أمر بالتدل لي if Allah commands us to humble ourselves to humble ourselves لغيره to other than himself if Allah says to us go humble yourself to so and so فمتثلنا ذلك and then we follow Allah's command كنا عابدين لله we are worshippers of Allah not the worshippers of those who will be commanded to humble ourselves for لا لمن وقع الخضوع في صورة الله and it is not a worshipping for the person you are commanded to humble yourself for فمن تدل لا for example if a person humbles himself to validate towards his parents إلى حد الذي أذين الله به and he does it in the way Allah تعالى تعالى commanded him وقصد بذلك and that person while humbling himself to his parents his intention in his heart is following the command of Allah فوعابد لله لا للوالدين he is a worshipper of Allah not a worshipper of his parents فوصيتي لمحمد might be a quest to Muhammad who is he talking to محمد من أحمد المعلم he is talking to a student he says to you might be a quest to you is ولي كل مسلم and every Muslim اللي يدعوه إلا الله that you do not call on to anyone other than Allah الله أكبر he is telling his student that the importance of having the connection with Allah purely سبحانه وتعالى because why لأنه الإله الحق الله is the true ilah الذي لا إله إلا هو that there is none worthy of worship except him that's the reason why he says this to him and Allah says إن القرآن إن سورة الرعج آية 14 له دعوة الحق والذين يدعون من دونه لا يستجيبون لهم بشيء دعوة the true calling is for Allah alone and those who call on to other than Allah whatever they are calling on to they will not reply to them and they will not give them that which they want from them whatsoever الله سبحانه وتعالى also says ولا تدعو من دون الله do not call on to anyone besides Allah ما لا ينفعك ولا يضرك that which will not benefit you nor harm you فإن فعلت if you do that فإنك إذا من الظالمين then you are verily from the transgresses those who have exceeded their limits so don't call on to anyone other than Allah you are calling on to someone ما لا ينفعك he can't benefit you ولا يضرك and he can't harm you رغا he cannot even benefit himself let alone anyone else سورة اليونس آي 106 so he says to his student فاوصية لي محمد oh my student محمد ولي كل مسلم كل مسلم لا يدعو إلا الله that they don't supplicate to no one other than Allah ولا يفعل فعلا فيه خضوع تطلق يطلوب به نفع نفع الغيبي إلا إذا علمان الله تبارك وتعالى أمر به and then a person does not do an action where he humiliates himself and he requests from any form of benefits unseen benefit from anyone except if Allah commands you to do it if Allah commands you to humiliate and humble yourself for somebody then it becomes a command from Allah and if Allah gives you permission to do so then it becomes a permission from Allah فمن تحقق هذا الأمر والتزمه anyone who holds on to this which I'm mentioning and has a correct understanding of it فلم يدعو إلا الله that he doesn't call on to anyone other than Allah ولم يفعل and he does not do ما فيه خضوع and he doesn't do anything which in it is humility and humbleness humility more like يطلوبه ويطلوبه النفع الغيبي where he is asking for unseen benefit إلا unless ما علم أن الله تعالى أمر به unless he recognizes and he realizes Allah has commanded him to do this أو أذي نفيه or Allah has given him permission to do this فقد بارئ من الشرك then that person is far from a shirk a person he humbles and belittles himself for somebody with the command of Allah سبحانه وتعالى Allah gives you permission to do so Allah says you can do this then you are permitted to do it and you are allowed to do it that specific situation you have an evidence for it you have an evidence to do it then you are allowed to do it and by doing that you are not a person who is falling into a shirk ولم يتحقق هذا المعنى وشكه فيه as for the person who has not really got that from Allah I mean Allah hasn't given him the red light green lights hasn't given him the permission you see he hasn't got that وشكه فيه and he is also doubtful whether he is allowed to humbly humiliate himself for this فعلي أي احتاط upon that person is to take the safer path it is to be on the safe side وما نطلع على هذا وشكه ثم لم يحتاط it as for the one who is doubtful he is not sure is he allowed to humbly and humiliate himself for this person and ask from this person or is he not, he is in doubt he is not sure and then he also does not take the safe path فعصر دالكة the result of this would be for him وقد اقدم على ما يمكن عنده أن يكون اكوفرا وشركة شركة that he might fall into something that may be شركة or كفر if he is not sure if he is allowed to do this and then he is not taking the safe path and he is not leaving it off then it could be that he puts himself in a predicament and a situation that this act which he is doing it is كفر and it is شركة والمهمة what is important the sheikh says أن تلتزم سبيل النجاة that you hold on to that you stick to this path which the victorious path the successful path وتدعوا إليه and you call to that path the sheikh took this from the ayah قل هذه سبيل أدعوا إلي الله على بصيرة أنا ومن التبعني وسبحان الله وما أنا من المشركين قل هذه this is my path أدعوا إلي الله I call Allah to this path على بصيرة with insight أنا I call to this path ومن التبعني and anyone who follows me calls to this path وسبحان الله exalted is Allah وما أنا من المشركين أنا I am not from there المشركين are those who associate partners with Allah وسبحانه وتعالى so the person who is upon destruction and loss is the person who لمن ضل ونحرف أنها this سبيل the one who deviates from that path the one who falls into that which is not the way of the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام so the sheikh said والمهم what is important is أن تلتزم سبيل النجاة that you stick to the path of success وتدعو إليه and you call the people to this path of success وانتحسل ظنك بالناس and you also correct and you perfect your thoughts about the people فما داما محتملا عندك في شخص as long as there is with you a doubt regarding a person أنله عُذران أنه يمكن أن يكون لديه ريزن في نيماته مقبولاً ومقبولاً عند الله و with الله فحمله على السلامة يجب أن يرده و يترده على سيدي وعلى أن هناك تساعدة التي يستطيع أن يكون معه فهذا يكون لديه من يجب أن يترده مع سيدي لا تدعه بأساملات وكل أمره وكل أمره إلى الله ويسرنده أنه يكون لديه ريزن في نيماته ويأتي مع شيء أن يكون لديه ريزن في نيماته بحيث أن يكون لديه ريزن في نيماته أنه لديه ريزن but he has an excuse مقبولاً and acceptable excuse عند الله و with الله فحمله على السلامة لا تدعه بأساملات لا تدعه بأساملات لأن الإستصحاب بأساملات براءة دم أن دمه يسرن من كل هذا وكل أمره إلى الله ويأتي بأساملات لأن الله سبحانه وتعالى لأن الله is the one who knows the people's situations يمكن الناس to have excuses times which you don't know you don't know that and you should have excuses and assumptions good assumptions of the people لذلك الله تبارك وتعالى he says in the Quran ربنا لا تأخذنا إنسينا أو أخطأنا أو الله don't hold us account to something if we forget it or if we do it out of mistake don't hold us account to it and the حدسة المسلم the Prophet ﷺ said Allah said I have done that for you meaning I will not hold you account for something that you have done out of forgetfulness or you have done it from a shock coming it was a mistake Allah won't hold us account for it so this person might have done it out of mistake or he might have done it out of forgetfulness so this is an excuse شرعي excuse for him this is something you would find with أهل السنة والجباعة whereas you won't find this in التواقف والفرق والأحزاب المنحرفة the groups the sects that are deviated from the straight path then the share goes on to المطلب الرابع the fourth chapter شهادة أن محمد الرسول الله after he spoke about in the third chapter of what شهادة الله إله إلا الله now he is speaking about the second testimony which is شهادة وأشد أن محمد الرسول الله لأ محمد is a messenger of Allah ومن لازم ذلك ومن لازم ذلك تصديقه في كل ما أخبر به العربه عز وجلة واستيقان أن ذلك حق محظ الله ريب فيه ويتباع ذلك المحبة والطاعة للتباع the sheikh says ومن لازم what necessitates from believing in the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم ومن لازم ذلك شهادة أن الله إله إلا الله وأشد أن محمد الرسول الله تستفع into it ومحمد is the slave and the messenger of Allah what comes once you say وأشد أن I testify that محمد is the messenger of Allah from that statement of yours what necessitates from it is you believe every single thing that the prophet tells you عليه الصلاة والسلام from Allah واستيقان أن ذلك حق محب and that you have unwavering conviction no doubt in your heart that whatever he says it is the truth it is the pure truth لا ريب فيه there is no doubt in it ويتبع ذلك المحبة and then the love follows افطاعته and obedience الاتباع following him the love you have and the obedience for him necessitates also following him عليه الصلاة والسلام why لأنه صادق المصدق he is truthful in everything he says and he is trusted by Allah تبارك وتعالم the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام we also believe and we take from him every information of the unseen which he has told us عليه الصلاة والسلام whether it be the things that have already happened and also the things that are going to happen in which he has told us عليه الصلاة والسلام it even encompasses the things that he has told us that are going to take place on this earth and those things that are going to take high above we also believe and take from him the things that he has told us that's going to take in this world and the things that are going to take in the hereafter we also take from him the things that he has told us that will take place in the grave عليه الصلاة والسلام this is what it means to say شهادة أن محمد رسول الله شخل إسلام ابن تيمية رحمة الله in his noble book in his great noble book in which he refused فخردين الرازي in the concept of giving presidents to the intellect over the textual evidence he called the book تعارض العقل والنقل on the second volume page 149 ابن تيمية says ومن المعلومة what is known out of necessity is أن أصل الإيمان the original essence of the إيمان is تصديق الرسولي to believe in the messenger فيما أخبره in everything which he has told us وطاعته فيما أمره and to obey him in everything which he has commanded us صلى الله عليه وسلم so the person who trusts the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he obeys him and the one who obeys him follows him صلى الله عليه وسلم so if you don't do that then you have lost the original essence of your إيمان you lose the أصل الإيمان the foundation of the إيمان the evidences that show this are extensive in number the evidences that show this are extensive in number but let's just take some of this as an example الله سبحانه وتعالى he tells us in the Qur'an صورة الفتح آية ناين إن أرسلناك شاهدا وموبشرا ونذيرة لتؤمن بالله ورسوله وتعزره وتوقره وتسبحه بكرة وأصيلا الله says إن أرسلناك we have sent down on to you إن أرسلناك شاهدا وموبشرا ونذيرة he is a shahed موبشرا a glad tidings ونذيرا أونا لتؤمن بالله so you can believe in Allah ورسوله and his messenger وتعزره you can honor him وتوقره you can respect him وتسبحه بكرة وأصيلا and you can exalt him سبحانه وتعالى بكرة وأصيلا in the morning and in the evening so the asal is what in this ayah لتؤمن بالله ورسوله the messenger from the hack that the messenger has on us is توقير we respect him وتعزر we honor him عليه الصلاة والسلام even over our own selves and everything that we have the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said حديث صحي مسلم and this hadith is متواتر it is reached multitude narration the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم أمرت أن أقاتل الناس I was commanded to fight with the people حتى يشدوا أن لا إله إلا الله until they testify that there is no worthy of worship also ويؤمنوا بي and they believe in them believe in me وبيماجي to be here and everything which I have come with فإن فعلوا ذلك if they do this عصموا مني دماءهم وأموالهم عصموا مني دماءهم وأموالهم وحسابهم على الله تعالى if they do this they are sacred they are protected from me their blood their wealth إلا بحقها وحسابهم على الله تعالى and their accounting is upon Allah تباركة وتعالى so this hadith teaches us that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم has to be believed in there is no person who comes in this nation except for upon him is to believe in the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام أصبح الله تباركة وتعالى he says فمن أظلموا who is more greater in transgression transgression in other words there is nobody this is in a form of a question but it's actually a statement الله is saying فمن أظلموا who is more transgressive than the person ممن كذب على الله وكذب وكذب بشتق إجاءة أليس في جهن ممثول للكافرين الله سبحانه وتعالى says who is more transgressive than the one who has lied upon الله تباركة وتعالى وكذب بشتق and he's also disbelieved in the truth that was sent to him إجاءة when it came to him أليس is it not في جهنما أليس للكافرين is it not for the disbelievers is it not for the disbelievers in جهنما أي about is it not for them والذين والذي جاء بشتق وصدق به the ones who came with the truth and they also believed in the truth أولائك هم المتقون verily they are the pious ones صورة الزمر آية 32 آية 33 so it is from the meanings of شهادة أن محمد الرسول الله that you come with محبة أنطاع أن اتباع and you do تصديق في كل ما أخبر به and you believe in everything which he has told you عليه الصلاة والسلام whether it be الأخبار الغيب الماضية والمستقبلة the unseen has taken place already or that which is to come in the future whether it be في العوالم العلوية أو السفلية whether it be the high universe or below whether it be في دار الدنيا in this world or whether it be دار البرزق or it be دار الأخرى you are one who believes the prophet in every single one of those places where he has told you regarding it I will conclude there إن شاء الله for today's session with the وصية الإمام عبد الرحمن ابن يحيى المعلم to his student محمد ابن أحمد المعلم anything which I have said that was incorrect فإنه مني ومن الشيطان والله ورسوله بريان من سبحانك الله وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفروا كواتوب إليه
