The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: It was reported that there were ten generations between Adam and Noah (peace be upon them), all of them upon Islam, and the author mentioned here
The Shaykh:
This is in Sahih al-Bukhari. Yes.
The questioner:
The author mentioned here that Qabil was the first to worship fire. Is there a contradiction between the two, and which is more correct? It was reported that there were ten generations between Adam and Noah, all of them upon Islam,
The Shaykh:
This does not negate that there might be individuals among them in these generations who were not upon Islam, but the general rule and the majority were upon Islam, and it does not negate that there might be among them those who were otherwise. Yes.
