Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your comments on "al-Tahawiyyah" in the verification and tracing of hadiths in "al-Sahihayn" that Ibn al-Hanafi attributed to them, where you said: It is an error, but Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah in "Minhaj al-Sunnah" and al-Dhahabi - may Allah have mercy on him - in "..." attributed them to "al-Sahihayn"; the same attribution by Ibn al-Hanafi to "al-Sahihayn", you said, O Shaykh: It is not found in "al-Sahihayn"?
The Shaykh : What do you mean? Either I am wrong, or Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah is wrong, what is the matter with this?
The questioner : ... Shaykh al-Islam is a proof ... the hadith to "al-Sahihayn".
The Shaykh : Do you mean if he is a proof, he does not err?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : If ... in his attribution to "al-Sahihayn" ... .
The Shaykh : This is not a condition; al-Dhahabi may have taken it from Ibn Taymiyyah; because it is not the case that whenever a man extracts a hadith, he returns to the same source, but rather he has before him a source from the sources he relies upon, and he went to Ibn Taymiyyah, so it is possible that he relied upon him, and it is possible that each of them erred; if one of us wants to accuse the other of error, and especially someone like me, I said: This is not in "al-Sahihayn", then let the one who accuses me of error present the reality, look at the hadith in "Sahih al-Bukhari", in such-and-such book, in such-and-such chapter, with such-and-such number - if the hadith is numbered -; this is how proof is established, but by Allah, so-and-so said such-and-such and you said such-and-such, what is beyond that? Either this speaker is the one who erred or I am the one who erred, so which of us does not err? Is there anyone who does not err? No, so nothing follows from this except for the establishment of proof; by saying today: You, O Shaykh, said such-and-such, that this hadith is not in "Sahih al-Bukhari", it is in such-and-such, but all this talk that you are mentioning is floating talk; so what is the hadith - for example - that I denied its attribution to the Sahih, and Shaykh al-Islam, plus al-Dhahabi, attributed it to the Sahih, what is it?
The questioner : Shaykh, I read ... Ismail al-Ansari.
The Shaykh : Leave him andThe Shaykh : Ismail al-Ansari ... - may Allah guide you -; you did not know that this man is hateful and envious, and it is enough for him that he came to defend a hadith that is the pillar of the innovators in their permission of seeking nearness to Allah through a created being, and he tried to raise the rank of the hadith to the level of hasan, and he defended Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, whom I refuted, that he mentioned among the etiquettes of leaving the mosque: O Allah, I ask You by Your rightThe questioner : upon You ... so the matter became great for him, and he appeared as a Wahhabi more than a Wahhabi; where he defended Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab in a hadith that is itselfThe Shaykh : al-Ansari - may Allah guide us and him - quoted fromThe Shaykh : Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, who in turn quoted from Ibn Taymiyyah that the chain of the hadith is weak; does not this apply to him:[Al-Hashr 59:2] ?
