The Shaykh’s age when he began serving the hadith.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You were, for example, 23 years old, Shaykh, when...?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct, because I had passed the age of twenty. The book I sometimes cite, the one from Riyadh, what is it called? "Al-Rawd al-Nadhir fi Tartib wa Takhrij Mu'jam al-Tabarani al-Saghir." I was about 21 or 22 years old when I finished it. Yes, that is correct.
The point is that I became independent in my work and my thinking at that time. We used to hold lessons at night with some of the brothers. Later, when the scope of the da'wah expanded, we rented a premises, and we would give lessons there on hadith, the science of hadith, and the terminology of hadith, and so on.
