Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, is it established from Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) that he used to pray seven hundred taslims and seven hundred rak'ahs every day?
Answer:
I do not know of this, and I do not think this occurred from Imam Ahmad, because this is a burdensome act, and Imam Ahmad is the imam of the people of the Sunnah, and he does not act except on what is established with him in the Sunnah. Yes.
