Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : "Abdullah 'Azzam" in "Al-Mujtama' Magazine" mentioned a study and spoke about "Muhammad 'Abduh," and he mentioned statements about "Muhammad 'Abduh" that he used to not pray the midday and afternoon prayers, and he transmitted this statement...
The Shaykh : ... .
Another questioner : No, he said he transmitted the statement of Shaykh "Al-Nabhani"; he said: He came one day and did not pray the midday and afternoon prayers!
The Shaykh : This is correct!
The questioner : Yes, he said he did not pray the midday and afternoon prayers, and then he said... and I don't know what, and so on, this statement; so what is the case regarding "Muhammad 'Abduh," I mean?
The Shaykh : By Allah, there is[Al-Ma'idah 5:8], we have Islamic legal principles that must be adhered to, regarding the friend and regarding the hated one; the default regarding a Muslim is good opinion, not bad opinion; especially if he is from the people of knowledge like "Muhammad 'Abduh." Second: the default is that the statement of the accuser is not taken without what? Verification; especially if the accuser is a fierce enemy of the accused. And who does not know that Shaykh "Al-Nabhani" was one of the fiercest enemies of the Salafi call in a terrible way; and consequently... to it.
Another questioner : Shaykh "Yusuf Al-Nabhani."
The Shaykh : "Yusuf Al-Nabhani."
How is it valid for this doctor to argue with the statement of the enemy?!
I don't know, are you certain in what you are transmitting?
The questioner : Yes, he says: Perhaps he read this.
Another questioner : I read the same statement that he says that Shaykh "Muhammad 'Abduh" had spiritual dryness in his daily life, and he mentions that one of them accompanied him one day so he did not pray the midday and afternoon prayers.
The Shaykh : Okay, who accompanied him?
The questioner : Al-Nabhani himself, he said: Al-Nabhani himself lied... So I said: It is well known the response of "Al-Alusi" to "Al-Nabhani" in matters of the Salafi call and what is similar to it.
Another questioner : Under the title: Schools of Teaching and Misguidance, and I don't know what else!
The questioner : "Schools of Iblis in Defiling and Deception."
The Shaykh : ... .
Another questioner : No, he said he transmitted the statement of Shaykh "Al-Nabhani"; he said: He came one day and did not pray the midday and afternoon prayers!
The Shaykh : This is correct!
The questioner : Yes, he said he did not pray the midday and afternoon prayers, and then he said... and I don't know what, and so on, this statement; so what is the case regarding "Muhammad 'Abduh," I mean?
The Shaykh : By Allah, there is
and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness
وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَى أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا اعْدِلُوا هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىAnother questioner : Shaykh "Yusuf Al-Nabhani."
