Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His final question says, may Allah preserve you: What is meant by the saying, "The disagreement of scholars is a mercy"?
Answer:
This is an error and not a mercy. He sees in a hadith that is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that mercy lies in agreement. Allah the Exalted said:[Hud 11:118-119] As for those who differ, this mercy does not encompass them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
