Arabic term or phrase: بقدرة قادر
أخذنا ننظر إليه ولا ندري كيف تحول الدرس بقدرة قادر من مراجعة عامة للغة البرجمة "بيسك" إلى موعظة عن الذنوب والمعاصي، وجند الرحمن، والمرض، والمغنين المخنثين، ومسرح المفتاحة، والحكومة التي تسمح بالمنكرات والمعاصي، لكنه لم يجرؤ أن يكمل الحديث عنها. أكمل الواعظ الدرس، درس الموعظة، وأخذ يستهزئ ويلمز رجال إمارة منطقة عسير لأنهم المسؤولون أمام الله عن كل هذا الفسوق كما يسميه.
