Question:
In a hadith, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “You know best the affairs of your worldly life.” What is the relevance of this? And is this a hadith?
Answer:
Yes, this is a hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It was not sent to teach people the affairs of this world, for they know them. Rather, the messengers, including our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), came to teach people the affairs of their religion and their creed. As for the affairs of this world, such as farming, planting, pollinating the date palms, and grafting the date palms, these are worldly matters that they know through their practice of them. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) came with the call to Allah, the clarification of the correct creed, and righteous worship. This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) brought. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
