The claim that there is no evidence for the conditions of repentance

The questioner:
I heard one of the scholars say that the conditions of repentance that some scholars stipulate have no legal evidence for them, and that this is merely a warning to people, as if they are setting limits that Allah does not forgive except with these conditions. And I heard another scholar say the opposite, and he is with you.

The Shaykh:
I am, in truth, ill-mannered. It is not just that I am ignorant, but rather I am doubly ignorant and ill-mannered, may Allah protect me from that.
The scholars say something based on their knowledge; they derived these conditions from the evidence, deriving them from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then this ignorant person comes and dismisses them all at once, because he does not know and assumes that the scholars do not know. A person should hold his tongue, not speak on matters of knowledge, and not speak about the people of knowledge out of ignorance. Even if he were to perceive an error by some of the people of knowledge, he should be moderate, be moderate with him, and not be ill-mannered with him in this characteristic and this foolishness. Yes.

The questioner:
I seek refuge in Allah from being aided in that.

The Shaykh:
If I were to ask this person about the conditions of prayer, he would not understand; I do not know. Do the scholars not know? If I were to ask him about the conditions of prayer and the things that invalidate the ablution, he would not know them because he is ignorant.

The questioner:
The information.

The Shaykh:
Perhaps they say that the conditions of prayer have no evidence, and perhaps they say that the things that invalidate the ablution have no evidence, and that everything has no evidence. Yes. It is easy for you to say that there is no evidence for it; it is easy for a person to say that this is not correct, that there is no evidence for this. This is very easy. Yes.
