Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the statement that one testifies to Paradise for the one whom the people of the earth testify to taken from the hadith "It is obligatory," and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "These are the witnesses of Allah on His earth"?
Answer:
If you counted the people of the earth and knew that they all testified, then there is no doubt that their testimony is true. But did you count them and know this? Yes.
