The Indication of the Hadith "Let the ones among you with wisdom and understanding show themselves" Regarding Standing Up for the Young
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, if someone says to you that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said Sunan Abi Dawud 674Sahih (Al-Albani), this is not evidence for the limit regarding the wedding feast.
The Shaykh : The correct challenge.
The questioner : He says: It is authentic, but it does not indicate permissibility for the pleasure of the young, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only said this to encourage those with wisdom and understanding to be of good character, not to stand up for the young.
The Shaykh : Well done. We say that this does not contain an indication, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only said it to encourage those with wisdom, meaning those with intellects and understanding. "Wisdom" (ahlam) means the two [types of] wisdom; "those with wisdom" means those possessing wisdom, which is the plural of "hilm" (wisdom), and "understanding" (nahy) means intellects. Now, if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had intended for the young to be made to stand from their places when they advanced, the wording of the statement would have been
The questioner : regarding making the young stand.
The Shaykh : If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had intended for the young to be made to stand from their places when they advanced, the wording of the statement would have been
The questioner : If the wording of the statement had been "Let none of you show themselves except one of them."
The Shaykh : Well done. He would have said, "Let none of you show themselves except those with wisdom and understanding." May Allah bless you. What?
