Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed by a house or a tent belonging to a man from the Ansar and said: "What is this?" They said: "A tent." So he said, peace and blessings be upon him.
The Shaykh : ...
The questioner : Every, every, what?
Another questioner: Every building.
The questioner : Is this hadith authentic, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : By Allah, there is discussion about this, but what is in my mind, though I do not assert it now, is that it requires review to confirm that it is strong through its chains.
The questioner : Yes, of course, this is mentioned by the one who cited it as being in al-Tabarani.
The Shaykh : ... If it is in al-Tabarani and not in Sunan Abu Dawud, which is stronger? It is in Sunan Abu Dawud, and it may be weak.
The questioner : There is no doubt, yes.
The Shaykh : This has no value.
The questioner : I just wanted, my Shaykh, to draw attention, meaning to convey the words. Now, my Shaykh, is this strong through its chains then?
The Shaykh : No, I do not say that; I told you I think so, and the matter requires review.
The questioner : Yes, yes, so if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : ...
The questioner : Every, every, what?
Another questioner: Every building.
The questioner :
Every building, and he gestured with his hand over his head, larger than this is a burden for its owner on the Day of Resurrection
