Btw I believe this is the 67th story in the book so الحمدلله we’ve covered a decent amount

Translation:

Look ya rashid at the train you see made from iron, It has 6 wheels which it moves on and it is very strong as if it’s a spirit from the jinn

It drags the cargo train and it is long and heavy, And drags the passenger train and in it are people and their luggage

And it drags the القطار السباق (a particular part of the train, I’m not sure if it’s name in English) and it is the fastest of the trains, Covering 45 miles in an hour

And the fast train covers 40 miles an hour and the train which stops covers around 30 miles an hour. It drags the train from the furthest end of India to the furthest end

For example from mumbai to bashawar

بارك الله فيكم

He would sit in tranquility and submission and dignity and would burn incense oud from the beginning (of his lesson) until the end and it was said to him regarding this, He said “I love that I glorify the Hadith of the messenger of Allah ﷺ”

So I don’t narrate except I’m upon purity and I hate to narrate upon the path (yani whilst walking around) or hastily. And he says I love to open up what I narrate from the messenger of Allah ﷺ

Ibn Mubarak رحمه الله said he was with imam Malik رحمه الله and he was narrating to us, So a scorpion stung him 16 times and his colour changed

And he didn’t stop the Hadith, As for when the people left he said I was patient due to the honour of the Hadith

And he wouldn’t ride an animal in Madinah regardless of his weakness and old age and he would say “I won’t ride in a city which the body of the prophet ﷺ is buried

(The word جثة is often used to refer to a corpse, I translated it as جسم out of respect to the Messenger ﷺ)

I should’ve actually sent a message, Forgive me

I’m extremely busy with my own studies so there won’t be any more texts until further notice insha’Allah

بارك الله فيكم، تتقبل الله منا ومنكم صالح الأعمال

Il try my best to return as soon as possible insha’Allah

And what we have narrated to you from the stories of the prophets is not all that Allah has narrated in the Quran from their stories, There are stories other than these

In the story of the prophet of Allah shuaib عليه سلام whom Allah sent to midyan and the people of aika, These people were businessmen and tradesmen who did business along the big route between Yemen and Syria and between Iraq and Egypt and along the coast of the Red Sea

They used to associate partners with Allah like the other communities of the prophets and they increased in that, They would decrease the measurements and scales and cheat in the measure (yani When trading, Purposely under weighing the merchandise) and confront the caravans and threaten and scare them and spread corruption in the earth like the rich and powerful who don’t hope for the reckoning and don’t fear the punishment

So Allah sent to them his prophet shuaib to call them and warn them
(No point translating the Ayat, That’s easily found online)

I spoke to my Arabic teacher about what texts he advised with, I’m assuming a few will struggle with this one so my dms are open as usual if needed

Should be a decent amount of new vocabulary

The shafaa, Derived from ash shaf (even) and it’s opposite is odd. The intercessor is the one who combines his request and the request of someone else so he makes it even after it was odd.

Shafaah is asking for goodness for someone else with the understanding that a believer asks his lord to forgive the sins and crimes of some of the believers

However it’s all under the dominion and control of Allah and so it doesn’t occur except with his permission meaning his command. This is due to his pride and greatness, Free from all imperfections the exalted nobody is capable of approaching him to intercede for anyone except after he permits.

(He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter) meaning His knowledge and acquaintance comprehend all matters, both past and in the future, so absolutely nothing is hidden from Him. (And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills). meaning that the servants do not know anything from the knowledge of Allaah except what He Himself taught them upon the tongues of His Messengers and also by the other numerous and diverse ways.
(...His Kursee extends over the heavens and the earth) His Kursee Free is He from all imperfection - it has been said it is the Throne and it has also been said that it is other than the Throne. It has been reported [however], that it is the place of the two Feet. And it reaches, on account of His Greatness and Vastness, and encompasses the heavens
