Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: All right, by Allah. Bring me the questions from Hamd. Regarding the authenticity of the hadith, it is said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah honor his face): "O Ali, do not sleep before you do five things." He said: "What are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "That you recite the entire Qur'an, that you give charity of four thousand dirhams, that you visit the Ka'bah, that you secure your place in Paradise, and that you satisfy your enemies." He said: "How can I do this?"
The Shaykh: This is a fabricated hadith with two horns. And how can he visit the Ka'bah?
The questioner: Excuses. A karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person), O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: A step, I mean.
The questioner: Yes, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: I mean, this is clearly a Sufi hadith, I mean.
The questioner: Come on, my soul. If only you knew.
The Shaykh: What do I mean? The topic would be mentioned in the books of hadith and have a chain of narration containing the weak and the fabricated, but this is a fresh fabrication. Do you know "taza"? Fresh, ha, new.
The questioner: Today, O our Shaykh, I saw al-Saqaf, so I said to the brothers, "This is al-Saqaf." They said, "This is al-Saqaf." I think this is al-Saqaf. Yes, and Abu 'Abdullah showed it to the brothers. Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh: May Allah guide him or take revenge on him.
The questioner: But praise be to Allah, O Shaykh, it has gone out, praise be to Allah. There are many like him.

The Shaykh :
As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth.
فَأَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَاءً وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ
