The questioner:
Do we not cite the fact that the description of the festival prayer was repeated more than once during his time (peace and blessings be upon him), because the astronomers and mathematicians confirm that it was repeated during his time?
The Shaykh:
How did he eclipse it? What does he say?
The questioner:
He says: Does it not indicate that the description of the eclipse prayer was repeated more than once during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because the astronomers and mathematicians say that it was repeated during his time (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
The words of the scholars and hadith scholars are nullified, and the words of the astronomers are taken? This is empty talk with no value. Yes.
