Weakening the Hadith: "Obey and listen, even if they beat your back"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, what is your guidance regarding those who are now saying that the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Obey and listen, even if they beat your back and take your wealth," is weak, even though the hadith is in Sahih Muslim? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
They also speak about the Qur'an. If it does not come according to their desires or agree with their whims, they speak even about the Qur'an, so how would they not speak about the hadith? So we do not listen to them; this is idle talk and false speech, and one should not pay attention to it. The Muslims, all of them, trust in Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and the authentic collections of the Imams, and they do not pay attention to the words of such ignorant or malicious people. Yes.
