Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The narration in the beginning of al-Mujad: Hanbal narrated from Imam Ahmad during the Inquisition that he said: "And His reward came." Imam Ibn Kathir narrated this report in his history, mentioning it in his discussion of Imam Ahmad's history, and he authenticated it.
The Shaykh : What is the text of the narration?
The questioner : That he said, "And His reward came." Ibn Kathir transmitted this from Imam al-Bayhaqi. This specific narration or report from him was mentioned by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) in the sixth volume in his commentary on the hadith of the Descent, and he stated that the students of Imam Ahmad have three positions regarding it. So I want to know what we can be certain of?
The Shaykh : Is the one sitting on the right?
The questioner : No, I did not hear ... .
The student : He meant the right, he meant the right, with our brother Abu al-Fadl.
The Shaykh : He did not contradict them.
The student : May Allah protect you, my Shaykh. May Allah reward you with good.
Another student: May Allah keep you in health.
The Shaykh : Relax, Abu Ahmad, take it easy for a bit!
The student : May Allah give you peace of mind, my Shaykh!
The questioner : Just a moment ago you mentioned the idols in, just a moment ago!!
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : What did you mean? When...
The Shaykh : When the Shaykh sits, people turn to him instead of holding fast to the Sunnah, so he leads them to his idolatry.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Allah is the Helper.
The questioner : May Allah keep you in health, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : O Allah, amen... Alright, now let's get to work on the coffee... Is the coffee done or not?!
The student : As long as they are busy, our Shaykh...
Another student: Our lunch and dinner.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : As long as you are busy with the coffee, then how do we understand the words of Imam Ahmad?
Another questioner : Raise your voice.
The Shaykh : Raise your voice, how what?
The questioner : How do we understand this statement from Imam Ahmad and what is its aspect?
The Shaykh : We do not know. As long as there are narrations from him, we take the narration that follows the straight path and the methodology we received from Imam Ahmad himself, which is not to engage in figurative interpretation.
The questioner : Yes, I mentioned to you that Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said in his commentary on the hadith of the Descent: "The students of Imam Ahmad answered regarding that with three answers, among which is the statement..."
The Shaykh : Why are you repeating your words?
The questioner : I want to ask which of the answers is the most correct in this?
The Shaykh : I have already answered you.
The questioner : Is the narration authentic?
The Shaykh: May Allah forgive you.
The questioner : What is the authenticity of this narration?
The Shaykh : Come on, the coffee has arrived, Abu Ahmad has arrived.
The Shaykh : What is the text of the narration?
The questioner : That he said
And your Lord came
