Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the occasion for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, "You are more knowledgeable about the affairs of your worldly life"?
Answer:
This is regarding matters other than religion; it is about worldly affairs, crafts, and trades. They are more knowledgeable about those things. The prophets did not come to teach the affairs of the world; rather, they came to teach the affairs of religion and the Hereafter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that on the occasion when he told them, "If you leave the pollination of the date palms alone, they will leave it," and as a result, the fruit spoiled. When they left off pollinating them, the fruit spoiled, so he said to them, "You are more knowledgeable about the affairs of your worldly life." Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
