ومتى كان الواعظ مثل الحسين والشيخ عبد القادر الجيلاني رحمهما الله تعالى انتفع به الناس
And when the preacher is like Al-Husayn and Sheikh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani - may Allah have mercy on them - people benefit from him.
وَالمَشَائِخِ — and Sheikh. Joined by 'wa-', this is actually a broken plural ('the shaykhs / masters') reshaped from its singular, extending the comparison to a second revered figure. It is coordinated into the same genitive role as the first name. The link word folds it into the list of exemplars.
