The questioner : I say that regarding the hadith of Thabit ibn al-Harith al-Ansari, you mentioned the very beautiful research. Praise be to Allah, we have benefited from you, my teacher. Regarding his status as a Successor, you mentioned several points of preference. Is it among what you mentioned—and I do not recall it now—that al-'Ajli mentioned him among the Successors?

The Shaykh : But this text itself. Yes, indeed. No.
