Why was the text not placed before the hadith in the poetic verse?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, my dear.
The questioner : Why did he not say anything about the requirement of the text and the hadith in the old and the new?
The Shaykh : The verse is sound if he said, "Muslim, according to the requirement of the text."
The questioner : And the prohibition.
The Shaykh : What can be added; if you add it, it outweighs the second hemistich, making it longer. Yes.
The questioner : We said that Allah is the Creator.
The Shaykh : That is, it is as if the brother Hamad is asking why the hadith is placed before the text, meaning before the Qur'an? The Qur'an is more noble. We say that it is permissible to place the less noble before the more noble for the sake of maintaining the flow of the speech. Look at Musa and Harun; which of them is more noble? Musa. And Musa is mentioned first. But in Surat Ta-Ha, it says, "My Lord, grant me [authority over] Harun and Musa," in order for this verse to be consistent with the other verses. Yes, O servants of Allah.
