The questioner : How do we direct the argument of the Shaykh al-Islam with his evidence regarding the non-existence of the prayer?
The Shaykh : By Allah, as I told you, as long as there is a valid hadith, the hadith of 'Ubadah, in which he said, "If you make a mistake in the Fajr prayer," and he said, "Do not recite except with the command of the Qur'an," this is an explicit text.
The questioner : Huh? Huh? There is no way to reconcile it, there is no way to reconcile it.
The Shaykh : There is absolutely no way to reconcile it. If it were in a prayer other than Fajr, it might be possible, but in the Fajr prayer...
The questioner : Evidence, O Shaykh. Huh? Evidence, O Shaykh. Yes. And how do we reconcile them?
The Shaykh : Yes. How do we respond to him?
The questioner : Please proceed.
The Shaykh : Yes, we respond to him with the hadith. We say: there is no analogy against an explicit text.
