كلمة سمعها رجل من الشيخ سالم الطويل فغيرت حياته Words a Man Heard from Shaykh Sālim at-Tawīl that Changed His Life ______________ أنا مرة أتكلم أشرح حديث: أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يستعيذ من "المأثم والمغرم" ، فقيل له: يارسول الله : ما أكثر ما تستعيذ بالله من المأثم والمغرم، Once I was talking explaining the Hadīth that the Prophet ﷺ would seek refuge from “sin and heavy debt”. It was said to him: “O Allāh’s Messenger! You often seek refuge in Allāh from sin and heavy debt.” قال : "الرجل إذا غَرِم "، [ يأخذ ديون اجتمعت عليه الديون]، "وعد فأخلف فأثِم" ، فلذلك يستعيذ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من : "المأثم والمغرم" ، من الديون ومن الأثم المترتب على الديون. He said: “A person, if he has heavy debt... “ [He takes debts. Debts gather up on him.] “...he makes promises, breaks them, and then sins.” Therefore, the Prophet ﷺ used to seek refuge from “sin and heavy debt,” from debts and sins resulting from debts. فتكلمت عن الديون والديون ، والواحد لماذا!! الشهيد وهو الشهيد ، يغفر له ولو جاهد مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كل شيء إلا الدين. So, I spoke about debts and about debts. One might say: ‘Why?’ The martyr being a martyr (i.e. holding a very high status(, even if he fought alongside the Prophet ﷺ, he would be forgiven for everything except debt. بعدها بأيام جاءني واحد، قال: حضرت لأول مرة وكنت قد قررت مع زوجتي أن نأخذ قرض، بل ربما "ربوي" من بنك ونشتري شقة ونشتري سيارة ، (قرض ربوي ومدته خمسة عشر سنة) ، وأنا أول مرة احضر الدرس، قال: " رجعت البيت ، قلت لزوجتي تعالي ، خلاص مافي!! قالت: لماذا؟! يقول: خلاص مافيه .. A few days after that, someone came to me and said: “I attended (the lesson) for the first time and my wife and I had decided to take a loan, in fact an interest-based loan from a bank to buy an apartment and to buy a car. (An interest-based loan with a 15-year period.) And this was the first time I attended the lesson.” He said: “I returned home and said to my wife: ‘Come here. That’s it. (We are not taking the loan.)!!’ She said: ‘Why!?!’” He said: “That’s it...” فما يدريك يا أخي أن الواحد قد يتعلم من كلمة قد تغير حياته. So, what do you know, O my Brother, that someone might learn from a remark that which can change his life. __________
