The questioner:
There, during the Musnad of Abu Bakr
The Shaykh:
the one to whom it was sent has valid corroborating narrations, and Husayn made an error in some of them. Yes. I say the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) washed from his clothes. Yes, in a garment, yes, you pray over him.
The questioner:
Is the hadith "al-Lahd is for us and al-Shaq is for others" authentic?
The Shaykh:
It has good routes, it has routes that strengthen it, and it is the preferred view regarding al-Lahd.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, what is the meaning of "al-Shaq is for others"?
The Shaykh:
Al-Shaq is in the middle of the grave, meaning, and al-Lahd is on its western side, its qibla side.
The questioner:
The meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying "for others" is better for you.
The Shaykh:
It means non-Muslims. Yes. If Allah wills, yes.
