Question:
I ask for clarification of a hadith, which is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Abi Dawud 581Da'if (Al-Albani) from the young ones, and what is meant by the young ones?
Answer:
The young ones means those who are young in age, because a young person is prone to lightness and a lack of steadiness. Seeking knowledge from the elders, those of advanced age, is more steadfast and more reliable. This is the meaning. Yes, the young ones means those who are young in age, because the general rule is that those who are young in age do not have steadiness in matters or certainty, and they rush into things. The older a student of knowledge is, the more steadfast and skilled he is.
