What is the meaning of the reversal in the narrator of the hadith “No one should be deceived by you”?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : Peace, and the mercy and blessings of Allah, be upon you.
The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, the hadith “No one should be deceived by you as a camel deceives” is a reversed hadith. We ask you to clarify this. Also, if some people argue by asking, “Why do you call it a reversal of the narrator in this hadith?” we ask for clarification and a response to that argument. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes, the response to that has already been given previously, but some people insist on what they see. We have previously explained this in detail and clarified the aspect of the hadith clearly. Reversal among narrators is not unusual. Some of them narrated the authentic hadith that the Fire will continue to be thrown into, and it will say, “Is there more?” As for the Fire, it will continue to be thrown into, and it will say, “Is there more?” until the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, places His foot upon it, and it will contract, and it will say, “Enough, enough.” So the reversal occurs even in authentic hadiths, not just in hadiths about which some people have spoken. Therefore, I refer the questioner to our previous sessions in these ten days.
The questioner : As an introduction to the news.
The Shaykh : No, no, the introduction does not occur.
The Shaykh : Peace, and the mercy and blessings of Allah, be upon you.
