The questioner : Your comment on the brother is that he wants to see your opinion on it, in the hadith narrated by Ibn Abi 'Asim, who said: "Muhammad ibn Thawbah ibn Sawwa' narrated to us, and my uncle Muhammad ibn Sawwa' narrated to me, from Sa'id ibn Abi Arubah, from Qatadah, from Abu Rafi', from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: -Then the author says:- This is a sound chain, and in the commentary he said: The Sunnah, part such-and-such, page such-and-such, and Al-Albani's statement: 'But I am in doubt about the establishment of the phrase "in the image of His face"; there is no basis for it, even if he is in doubt about it, the preservers among the people of hadith did not doubt it'.
The Shaykh : Where are the preservers? We haven't seen anything?
The questioner : A comment on the chain -may Allah preserve you-.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : If you wanted to comment on the chain of the hadith?
The Shaykh : No, I am not recalling it right now.
The questioner : Its chain is present.
The Shaykh : The man is in the men!
The questioner : The men are mentioned!
The Shaykh : I know, but I say: I am not recalling their biographies, and show me so I can look!
Right now I do not recall the status of every narrator among these narrators, but I need to review my statement on it in *Takhrij al-Sunnah by Ibn Abi 'Asim*, except that what I recall in my mind is that what he transmitted in his statement: "And Al-Albani's statement: 'But I am in doubt about the establishment of the phrase "in the image of His face"; there is no basis for it, even if he is in doubt about it, the preservers among the people of hadith did not doubt it', if he means specifically this wording, and especially since he concluded with his statement: He said: "This is a sound chain, and it is clear in refuting the statement of the one who made the pronoun in his statement: refer to Adam", look now at the difference between the authentic hadith: Mishkat al-Masabih 3525, they differed on the return of the pronoun, so he did not benefit from anything since he authenticated this narration: because it is the same pronoun, and what was said here applies to it, so his statement: "And it is clear in refuting the statement of the one who made the pronoun in his statement: refer to Adam", he did not benefit from anything, but we want to see what his position was regarding the narration of al-Bukhari, did he bring it?
Who is the author of this book?
Did he bring the narration of al-Bukhari:Sahih Muslim 2612e?
The questioner : This is in the commentary on al-Bukhari itself, the book.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : A book of commentary on the Book of Tawhid, he spoke.
The Shaykh : Yes, but the hadith is not in the Book of Tawhid.
The questioner : He spoke about this issue, expanded on it greatly, and mentioned that the correct view is that it refers to al-Rahman.
The Shaykh : No, that is not my question: Did he bring the narration of al-Bukhari:Sahih Muslim 2612e!?
The questioner : I will search and return.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is the question.
When one of you fights, let him avoid the face, for Allah the Exalted created Adam in the image of His face
