Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Who says or cites the story of Abu Hurayrah with Satan to argue that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the truth from Satan, and therefore it is permissible for a person to receive knowledge from anyone, provided he limits himself to taking the truth and leaving the falsehood?
Answer:
Glory be to Allah. Abu Hurayrah did not take this from Satan; he took it from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, "You have spoken the truth, and he is a liar." Abu Hurayrah took this from the Messenger; he did not take it from Satan.
