Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people of innovation argue with the hadith of Abu Hurayrah that it is permissible to study from the people of innovation, because Abu Hurayrah took knowledge from Satan?
Answer:
He took knowledge from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); he did not take it from Satan. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is the one who informed him of it, and he did not take this from Satan nor did he rely on the words of Satan, but rather he relied on the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). "He told you the truth, and he is a liar"—this is invalid argumentation. This statement is invalid argumentation. Yes.
