Kishk Humour

Shaykh Kishk was once standing on a pulpit and said:

كان يوماً على المنبر، اللهم اغفر للصف الثاني والثالث والرابع
فقالوا: والأول يا شيخ؟
فقال: الأول كله مباحث وأمن دوله ،،

“Oh Allah, forgive the second, third and fourth rows!”
Someone asked: “How about the first row?”
The Shaykh said: “The first row is full of government officials (i.e. spies)!”
