The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some scholars, in their explanation of the hadith of al-Nu'man, stated that this confusion is due to several matters, one of which is the conflict of evidence such that neither reconciliation nor preference between them is apparent.
The Shaykh:
This is what we mentioned.
The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. And the question is: Is the phrase "conflict of evidence" correct, or is the conflict...?
The Shaykh:
It is apparent, meaning their conflict is apparent in what appears to you, and in reality they are not in conflict, but it appears to you that they are. And only the scholars know that they are not in conflict; they are the ones who know, whereas the ignorant people think they are in conflict.
