The ruling on using rational probabilities to argue against the gathering for Friday prayer during the time of the Prophet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If a man were to say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw this Friday gathering during his time, because the Companions loved the fame of Friday. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not gather for it during his time, because the Companions were sufficient for a little. Yes. Yes.

Answer : I, my brother Ahmad, I advise you and your brothers, I advise you against these far-fetched objections. Think about the matter: the five prayers are prayed in their neighborhoods, they are prayed in their neighborhoods. And if we assume, as you said, that the Rightly Guided Caliphs were like the Messenger, did they count them? And those who came after them, the Tabi'un, did not count them. And for this reason, I told you many times, and I say it many times: rational probabilities are not what you want for the scriptural evidence. You see, this opens up for you a debate like that of the sorcerer.
