Does the statement of a Companion take on the ruling of a marfu' report if the matter concerns the unseen?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Hawini: It is just an inquiry about the previous matter regarding the hadith of Salman, which is a mawquf report. Some might say that it has the ruling of a marfu' report on the basis that this is a matter of the unseen, meaning Salman had no knowledge of it.
The Shaykh : This is a matter that requires detailed analysis, which many young students of knowledge overlook.
Al-Huwayni: Yes.
The Shaykh : The summary of this is: The statement of a Companion has the ruling of a marfu' report if it relates to the Shari'ah of Islam brought by Muhammad (peace be upon him). As for what relates to past news, it is possible that any mawquf report discussing what happened in the past may be from the Isra'iliyyat. As is well known, the Isra'iliyyat are narrated as they came; we neither affirm nor deny them.
Al-Huwayni: Yes.
The Shaykh : And that means it is not permissible to cite them as evidence.
Al-Huwayni: Yes.
The Shaykh : Therefore, it is not correct to say that such a hadith has the ruling of a marfu' report, because it has no relation to the Shari'ah. For example, the hadith of Ibn Abbas when he says: "The Qur'an was sent down in one piece to the House of Glory in the lowest heaven, then it was sent down in portions." This is a mawquf report, but in reality, it has the ruling of a marfu' report because, first, it relates to a matter of the unseen that the ordinary mind, without revelation, cannot discover. Second, it relates to the unseen connected to the Shari'ah of Islam. Therefore, he received it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), either directly or through other senior Companions.
Al-Huwayni: Yes.
The Shaykh : So, it cannot be said that the hadith of Salman has the ruling of a marfu' report.
Al-Huwayni: Yes.
The Shaykh : Perhaps you are full.
Al-Hawini: No, by Allah.
The Shaykh : Then look to the left.
Al-Huwayni: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
Al-Huwaini: And upon you be peace.
The Shaykh : Breaking the oath, and upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. That is, if three young children of Muslim parents, who are below the age of accountability, pass away and are taken, will they be a cause for not entering the Fire, and for entering Paradise? It was said: O Messenger of Allah, what about two? He said:. The narrating Companion said: Until we thought that if we said: one; he would say: and one. Will you come with me, I will take you, or will you go with Abu Layla?
The student : Then it will become so.
The Shaykh : How?
The student : Ziyad wants to travel with me to Zarqa, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Ah, you want to take him to Zarqa.
The student : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : It was here, Umm al-Fadl.
The questioner : In the prostration...
The Shaykh : Ah, in the prostrationSunan Abi Dawud 875Sahih (Al-Albani).
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The student : We want to pray behind an imam who lengthens the prostration, not standing.
The Shaykh : This is a matter that requires detailed analysis, which many young students of knowledge overlook.
Al-Huwayni: Yes.

The nearest a servant come to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself, so make supplication often.

The student : We want to pray behind an imam who lengthens the prostration, not standing.
