Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) selection of Hudhayfah indicate the selection of specialists when they are needed, given that Hudhayfah was the most knowledgeable of the Companions regarding the hypocrites?
Answer:
He was not knowledgeable in his own right; he did not know them himself. Rather, the Messenger informed him of it and made it known to him in confidence, because he does not know the unseen, and no one knows what is in the hearts except Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
