What is the ruling if the action of a Companion contradicts the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well; what did the Companion follow the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : The Companion followed the action of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in...
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : So how do you mean? Do we prioritize the saying over the prohibition over the action, or what?
The Shaykh : Of course, if the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) contradicted his saying, his saying would be prioritized over his action. So if the action of a Companion contradicts the saying of his Prophet, should not his saying (peace be upon him) be prioritized over the action of his Companion? That is even more so.
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
Another questioner : In the rule you mentioned, which is that the action of a Companion indicates that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did not understand the generality from the text, this is a rule... so does this not fall within it?
The Shaykh: What is it?
