Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The narrations of the hadith of the Hawd (Pool) differ in mentioning the distance of the Hawd. One narration says it is between Sana'a and Aden, and it is said to be between Makkah and Sana'a, and between Sana'a and Basra. This led some innovators to reject this hadith, claiming that it is disturbed (mutazarrab). He asks: How do we reconcile these narrations?
Answer:
The one who says this is the one who is disturbed. As for the hadiths, they are reconciled by the fact that the Hawd is vast and wide, sufficient for the entire ummah (Muslim community). Yes.
