Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some hadith scholars have rejected the phrase “I ask you by the right of the questioners.” We would appreciate your comment on this, Shaykh?
Answer:
I do not know of anyone who has rejected it, and it is transmitted. However, if someone said it is not authentic or something similar, that is one thing; but outright rejection? No, this is not rejected. The right of the questioners is the answer. And regarding the answer, Allah the Exalted said:[Ar-Rum 30:47] So it is a right that Allah obligated upon Himself, and no one else obligated it upon Him. The right of the questioners is that He answers them. And answering is one of the attributes of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
