Explaining the importance of understanding the Prophetic hadiths in a manner consistent with the understanding of the Salaf.

The Shaykh : I return to say: Just as it is obligatory that the verse be understood correctly, so too must the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) be understood correctly. When that is the case, the difficulty falls away, and the correct meaning and the majesty appear in the hadith. For example, in the questioner’s question in the recording there, regarding the hadith of sorcery, he assumed that the hadith of sorcery has a connection to the discussion of ahad hadiths, but it has absolutely no connection. Because our discussion was about creed; that is, the unseen matter that Allah informed us of, whether it has happened or will happen. If it comes in a correct ahad hadith, one must believe in it and have faith in it. As for the issue of the sorcery of the Messenger (peace be upon him), this is a historical issue, like the wounding of the Messenger (peace be upon him); he was wounded in the Battle of Uhud, yes? He was wounded, and this is known in the biography. Does this have a connection to creed? It has no connection to creed. So those who distinguish between ahad hadiths and mutawatir hadiths in creed do not distinguish in a hadith concerning the person of the Messenger, whether he was wounded or not? The mere fact that a hadith is authentic in that regard, they accept it. Likewise, the hadith of the sorcery of the Messenger has no connection to ahad hadiths related to creed. I want to say: The hadith of the sorcery of the Messenger is misunderstood by many people, so the difficulty naturally enters it. When that is the case, it is not permissible for this person to surrender to his doubt or difficulty, but rather he must always and forever verify the statement of his Lord in His Book: .
