The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Muhammad from Al-Khabar, please, my brother Muhammad. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you, peace.
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you. May Allah make your days happy, Shaykh. May Allah welcome you.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. I want to ask you about the hadith of the woman who came to Musa (peace be upon him). Is it authentic that she came to the Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) as a barren woman and asked him to supplicate to Allah the Exalted and Majestic to grant her children? I do not know, meaning, is the hadith authentic that Musa (peace be upon him) supplicated to Allah the Exalted and Majestic, and then Allah the Exalted and Majestic said to Musa, “I have written her as barren.” Then, after a period, she became pregnant with a child, so Musa (peace be upon him) asked her, “Where did this child come from? Is this child yours?” She said, “Yes, Allah granted it to me.” So Musa (peace be upon him) returned to Allah the Exalted and Majestic, and Allah the Exalted and Majestic said, “I have written her as barren, but whenever I wrote her as barren, she said, ‘O Merciful One.’ Whenever I wrote her as barren, she said, ‘O Merciful One.’”
The Shaykh:
By Allah, I do not know this, my brother. However, asking the righteous, the prophets, and the righteous people for supplication is a prescribed matter. Yes.
The questioner:
I mean, is it permissible, Shaykh, that I clarify, I mean, the matter of the barren woman?
The Shaykh:
No, do not transmit this statement until you verify it and its source.
