The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: One of the researchers of this book commented on the phrase "Allah and His Messenger know best," saying: "As for in our time, it is valid to say 'Allah and His Messenger know best' regarding what is from the revelation, but as for what is other than that, it is not sufficient."

The Shaykh:
You do not attribute this to the revelation; you attribute it to the Messenger. So after the death of the Messenger, one does not say "Allah and His Messenger"; one says "Allah knows best."

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
Even if we concede that some of the comments are made out of ignorance rather than knowledge. Yes.
