Sheikh.
Yes, Sharafantah.
Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the death of our great scholar and Imam, the learned polymath Khanfour Al-Mutayyas.
True, may Allah sanctify his soul; tomorrow his memory falls.
On this great occasion, Sheikh, I decided to write a book about his life, documenting all his sayings and deeds.
Well done, my son, but do you have complete knowledge of all that our Sheikh Khanfour said?
I have memorized some of his sayings, and I will seek help from you and some of the trustworthy fellow students.
A fine choice, but beware of seeking help from Za'bour, for that student is not trustworthy.
And why is that, Sheikh?
I asked him to lend me some money, but he refused even though he possesses it.
What does that have to do with the book?! That's a personal matter between you and him.
Do not argue or debate, Sharafantah, or you will fall into the forbidden. But it is fine if you seek help from Harhour, for he is one of the trustworthy students.
But Harhour was a new student and only knew our Imam Khanfour for a few months before his death, so he doesn't know much about our Sheikh.
I told you not to argue, my son. Harhour and I have a good relationship.
Alright, Sheikh. I will document in the book all his deeds, how he dressed, on which side he slept, his bathroom habits, and how he consorted with his wife—I mean wives—and how he played with them.
Woe to you, Sharafantah!
What's wrong, Sheikh?!
Are you a donkey?!
No, I am Sharafantah.
Are you serious about this? You want to document the private marital secrets of our great Sheikh in your book!!
Yes, what's wrong with that?
No, my son, never do this. These things are considered very private marital secrets, and our Sheikh would never be pleased with this. He wouldn't allow such matters to be published under any circumstances. Imagine us talking about his treatment of his wives!
So you're upset for Imam Khanfour and won't accept this for him?
Of course I must be angry. Would you accept your own private marital secrets being published?!
Of course not.
Then what you don't accept for yourself, do not accept for our great Sheikh. May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, Sheikh Khanfour.
Sheikh, then why do you accept this and more—things that make one's forehead sweat—for our Prophet Muhammad?!
Where did you get these liberal atheistic ideas! Repent to Allah before it's too late.
And you? Won't you repent, or have you already finished your repentance?
I seek Allah's forgiveness for your ideas. Fear the day you return to Allah.
And what about you? Are you returning with us or staying behind?
