سئل الشيخ رحمه الله : متى نبئ عيسى؟
قال الشيخ رحمه الله : قبل الأربعين، قيل له: نقول كان قريبًا من الثلاثين لأنه رفع وهو كهل إلى السماء( الكهل فوق الثلاثين؟
قال الشيخ: هكذا

The Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: “When was Jesus (peace be upon him) made a prophet?”
The Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “Before the age of forty.”
He was told: “Shall we say it was close to the age of thirty, as he was raised to the heavens while being a mature man (a mature man is over thirty)?”
The Sheikh replied: “Yes, that is so.”

Perguntaram ao Sheikh, que Allah tenha misericórdia dele: “Quando Jesus (que a paz esteja com ele) foi feito profeta?”
O Sheikh, que Allah tenha misericórdia dele, respondeu: “Antes dos quarenta anos.”
Foi dito a ele: “Devemos dizer que foi perto dos trinta anos, já que ele foi elevado aos céus enquanto era um homem maduro (homem maduro é acima de trinta)?”
O Sheikh respondeu: “Sim, é assim.”
