The questioner : Regarding the hadith we hear from some of the brothers, meaning I asked about it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This is..." I do not know the authenticity of this hadith. Is this "Hind al-Kabud"?
The presenter: This.
The questioner : This is "Hind al-Kabud," so she said, "The Messenger of Allah is..."
The presenter : Yes.
The questioner : Yes, is the hadith authentic?
The presenter : This hadith is mentioned in the biographies, but it does not have
The Shaykh : a chain of narration that establishes a proof.
The questioner : So, meaning it does not have a fixed narration. Okay, Shaykh, the hadith: "O my master, Qabisa... a stone... and a stone... and so on." In the end, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "When you pray Fajr, say, 'Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi,' and you will be cured of leprosy and vitiligo," and so on.
The Shaykh : Explain it. Explain it. I mean, attach it to what came before.
The questioner : So it is weak, meaning. Okay, my master, the hadith about the virtue of prayer in the three mosques. You mentioned in *Tammam al-Manna* in the commentary on *Al-Fiqh wa al-Sunnah* that I do not know, meaning the hadith you said was weak, which is the virtue of prayer:Sunan Ibn Majah 1413Da’if (Darussalam) I do not know, meaning, is the hadith authentic from other routes, for example?
The Shaykh : My brother, do you want from the hadith all the mosques or the Al-Aqsa Mosque?
The questioner : In the mosque, in the mosques of the Salaf.
The Shaykh : The three mosques: the Mosque in Makkah and the Mosque in Madinah have what is good in authentic hadiths. It is authentic that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So prayer in it is like a hundred prayers.
The questioner : The end of the break.
The Shaykh : Yes, as for the Al-Aqsa Mosque, it is not authentic that prayer in it is like five hundred, but what is authentic is that it is like two hundred and fifty.
The questioner : Two hundred.
The Shaykh : And fifty.
The questioner : Yes.
The presenter : I was not fully understanding.
The questioner : I mean, the statement is one hundred thousand and one thousand, and so on.
The Shaykh : The one hundred thousand is in the Sacred Mosque in Makkah, the one thousand is in the Prophet's Mosque, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque is two hundred and fifty.
The questioner : I mean, this statement is correct. Okay, our teacher, I asked about a man who came to prayer and entered the prayer and was behind by one rak'ah. The imam forgot; he was praying a four-rak'ah prayer and came to five. So does this man stand with the imam who is behind, or
The Shaykh : does he follow him?
The questioner : He stands with the imam.
The Shaykh : does he follow him?
The questioner : Okay, the rak'ah that remained for him.
The Shaykh : He must perform it.
The questioner : Also, because he brought a rak'ah. Okay, my teacher.
The Shaykh : My brother, he brought the rak'ah following the imam.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So it is not counted for him.
The questioner : Yes, very well, our professor. The issue of treating sorcery. I have read in a book by one of the honorable brothers what was mentioned regarding the description of the permissible ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). It was narrated, of course, by Ibn Abi Hatim and the Shaykh from al-Layth ibn Sulaym, who said: "It reached me that these verses are a cure for sorcery by the permission of Allah. They are recited into a vessel containing water, and then it is poured over the head of the one afflicted by sorcery, and so on." Of course, the verses were mentioned. When they cast[Al-A'raf 7:118], and three verses from the Book of Allah the Exalted and Majestic were mentioned. How authentic is this? And one drinks some of it and bathes with the rest.
The Shaykh : Nothing has come from the Messenger regarding this specific matter.
The questioner : Yes, okay, teacher, regarding the tashahhud on Friday. You mentioned from Ibn Mas'ud and Ibn 'Umar two authentic chains of narration.
The Shaykh : The tashahhud.
The questioner : If he catches one rak'ah, he should pray a second rak'ah. And if he catches the tashahhud, he performs the four. How authentic is this statement? Is it authentic? If it is authentic,
The Shaykh : whoever catches one rak'ah of the Friday prayer has caught the Friday prayer, and whoever does not catch one rak'ah prays four.
The questioner : Four, he does not pray two. No, okay, our teacher, we have taken up your time, forgive us.
The Shaykh : Welcome, may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : The question.
The Shaykh : Above all, forgive us, may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : The issue of Iraq and its entry into Saudi Arabia.
The Shaykh : This is the crux of the matter.
The questioner : What is the opinion of Shaykh Nasir?
The Shaykh : In what?
The questioner : Regarding the entry of the Americans into Saudi Arabia.
The Shaykh : But you just summarized; you mentioned Iraq before.
The questioner : I mean, I like, I want to hear your opinion.
The Shaykh : No problem, but I am asking you, do you hear my opinion on what?
The questioner : If one is invited now.
The Shaykh : Do not speak every time in a way that establishes something. Now, now you will speak in a third way. Go back to the first way. Now I tried to clarify it from you. What is your first question?
The questioner : The issue of Iraq entering Kuwait. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah, the ruling of the religion, in this matter?

The Shaykh : What do you mean, I am speaking about al-Albani?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : New colonialism. Is colonialism permissible for you? Is it permissible?
The questioner : So, of course, it is not permissible.

The questioner : In the field.
