What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenA bawdy Andalusian proverb, 'the nerves are connected', shared by Mufti Abu Layth as a joke.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth jokes again about a 'direct channel', then shares a proverb he read some time ago in a book of the proverbs of the people of al-Andalus [?]. In it, someone says the way to the beloved's heart is through the rear, and when asked how that could sway the heart, replies that the nerves are connected, which became the proverb. Mufti ties it back to the clip's driving metaphor.
