Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : He says: Al-Bukhari narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he Mishkat al-Masabih 252 avoidance. Is it valid to cite this report as evidence for our choice to prohibit the recitation of hadith in gatherings of people on occasions such as weddings?
Answer : Yes, it indicates this. This indicates what we mentioned: that a person should not recite hadith to people in gatherings unless he sees that they are longing for his narration or requesting it, or he sees a wrong that he witnesses and speaks about it.
Talk to the people once every Friday, but if you object, then twice, and if you want more, then three times, but do not weary the people with this Qur’an. And do not let me find you coming to the people when they are talking about their concerns,
قال حدث الناس في كل جمعة مرة، فإن أبيت فمرتين، فإن أكثرت فثلاث مرات، ولا تمل الناس هذا القرآن، ولا ألفينك تأتي القوم وهم في حديث من حديثهم فتقرأ عليهم حديثهم،and you bore them. But listen, and if they order you, then recite to them while they are desiring it. Look at the rhyming in supplication and avoid it, for I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions doing that
فتملهم، ولكن أنصت فإذا أمروك فحدثهم وهم يشتهون، فانظر السجع من الدعاء واجتنبه، فإني عهدت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه يفعلون ذلكAnswer : Yes, it indicates this. This indicates what we mentioned: that a person should not recite hadith to people in gatherings unless he sees that they are longing for his narration or requesting it, or he sees a wrong that he witnesses and speaks about it.
