Reflections from some statements of Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi al-Mad’khali [16 of 80]

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Indeed everyone and even the fish in the sea seek forgiveness for the scholar because he benefits the people. Even the fish in the sea benefits from him. He clarifies (distinguishes) between the lawful animals (that can be eaten) and (that which is) haraam, the manner to utilise a riding beast and how to deal with this animal, and how to slaughter an animal properly, thus, love is placed in the souls of everyone – in the heavens and the earth – who is beloved to Allah, so they seek forgiveness for the scholar. You are a Miskeen (i.e. one in complete need of Allah, weak, deficient etc) and Allah (favoured) you with these hosts (i.e. the righteous inhabitants of the heavens and the earth) who supplicate for you and seek forgiveness for you, and the angels humble themselves to you. So, after knowing this, you should increase in humility, love of Allah and eagerness for knowledge.
