The author’s introduction to contradictory hadiths regarding staying overnight in al-Mahshar
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If the author (may Allah have mercy on him) presents hadiths on an issue and then follows them with others that contain a degree of contradiction, does that imply that he has presented the stronger position? For example, regarding the practice of staying overnight in al-Mahshar, he mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to sleep there, and then he mentioned from Aisha that it is not a recommended practice?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, this depends on the author’s method in arranging the hadiths; one should refer to that. I do not know it right now, but one should refer to it. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
And al-Shawkani, between this, the commentator of al-Muntaqa, Nayl al-Awtar in his commentary on Muntakha al-Akhbar, may have mentioned this. Yes.
