The questioner:
This questioner says: In the book al-Rawd al-Murba', it is mentioned regarding Imam Ibn Aqil (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book al-Funun, the issue of preferring the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) chamber over the Ka'bah and the Throne, and that the chamber is superior because it contains the body of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
It is permissible; this is an exaggeration regarding the rights of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Ibn Aqil mentioned it; this is a mistake and an error, and the Muslim is not protected from error, but one does not follow or imitate him in that.
