The Shaykh : Then he narrated an authentic hadith containing a new meaning and a new legislation, narrating it with its chain of narration. From Anas, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 401.
This is the wording of the hadith as it appeared in the book. Whoever has a copy of our book, *Al-Adab al-Mufrad*, must correct this word because it has no meaning. His saying: I wrote here in the commentary, "I have such-and-such," meaning the original text. Al-Jaylani, the commentator, passed over it, and in *Al-Jami' al-Saghir* with the author's narration it is , meaning the last phrase becomes the wording Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 401, meaning instead of the word "first sin," the correct wording is "except by a sin committed by one of them." At that point, the meaning of the hadith becomes clear: if two people who love each other in the path of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) live for a long, extended period of time, it is not possible for separation, disagreement, or turning away to occur between them except by a sin committed by one of these two who love each other for the sake of Allah. Because what is for the sake of Allah is connected, as they say. As long as two Muslims, male or female, love each other for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and then severance occurs between them, this severance must be due to a sin committed by one of them, so Allah (Mighty and Majestic) punished them with this turning away and severance. The purpose of the hadith, as is apparent, is the eagerness of those who love each other for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to continue in this love and for nothing to occur from one of them that would spoil this love and lead them to severance. This is the goal of the hadith. This is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Two people do not love each other in Allah Almighty or in Islam if the first wrong action that one of them does creates a split between them.
مَا تَوادَّ اثنانِ فِي اللَّهِ جَلَّ وعَزَّ أَو فِي الإسلامِ فَيُفَرَّقَ بَينَهُمَا أوَّل ذَنبٍ يَحدِثُه أَحدُهُمَاThis is the wording of the hadith as it appeared in the book. Whoever has a copy of our book, *Al-Adab al-Mufrad*, must correct this word because it has no meaning. His saying:
And then be separated, except by the first sin committed by one of them.
فَيُفَرَّقَ بَينَهُمَا أوَّل ذَنبٍ يَحدِثُه أَحدُهُمَاExcept by a sin
إلا بذنبif the first wrong action that one of them does creates a split between them
فيفرَّقَ بينهما إلا بذنب
