The questioner : Shaykh, the Hafiz mentioned in "..." that the hadith:
We do not want any help from a polytheist إنَّا لا نستعين بمشرك على المشركين
Sunan Abi Dawud 2732Sahih (Al-Albani)
or ... the hadith is abrogated, and he provided a detailed explanation of this issue, and he cited the hadiths, some of which are weak, but I mean.

The Shaykh : What is the abrogating text in his opinion?

The questioner : In a hadith - and Allah knows best - it seems to be one of the authentic hadiths.

The Shaykh: No problem ... .

The questioner : In the hadiths regarding actions.

The Shaykh : Okay, an action does not abrogate a statement.

The questioner : An action does not abrogate a statement, that is how it is, meaning he mentioned it in the introduction of his book, and Allah knows best.

The Shaykh : Yes, in several rules, but what is the hadith that he claimed is the abrogating one and is authentic?

The questioner : By Allah, I do not remember specifically, but he mentioned four hadiths, of which, I think, three are weak, and Allah knows best.

The Shaykh : In any case, it would be a specific incident - as the Hanafis say - with no generality; especially since it contradicts and opposes a fundamental principle, which is His saying - (peace and blessings be upon him) :
Go back; for we do not seek help from a polytheist ارجع ؛ فإنَّا لا نستعين بمشرك
Sahih Ibn Hibban 23:260
.

The questioner : I mean, the incident of the Prophet - (peace and blessings be upon him) seeking the help of a mushrik in the incident of the Hijrah when he showed him the way; it does not indicate ... likewise, or - also - the action ... ?

The Shaykh : This is the reasoning of the mujtahids of the last times, what is its relation to war? ... indication of the way.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Okay, like his borrowing of barley from the Jew, do we also use it as evidence that it was seeking the help of a mushrik, is that not so?

Another questioner : Or ... for the armor.

Another questioner : ... as a guide with him, it is possible that this - for example - was tasked by the mushrikin to mislead the Messenger of Allah - (peace and blessings be upon him) ... ?

The Shaykh : From your side, it is possible.

Another questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : You have it, you have it, and I have it for your sake, so that you do not take it to heart; this is possible, but as for the infallible Prophet, regarding whom it was revealed:
O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allah will protect you from the people يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:67]
, as for him, what you have hypothesized is not said, but as for you and this dervish, these people, anything is possible.
