The questioner : What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan an-Nasa'i 940Hasan (Darussalam)?
The Shaykh : The modes are the recitations by which Jibril (peace be upon him) brought the revelation to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and he recited them to his Companions in that manner. Therefore, incidents occurred where one Companion would recite in one of these modes before another Companion, who would object to him, saying, "I heard the Messenger (peace be upon him) recite differently from this mode." They disputed and went to the Messenger (peace be upon him), who ruled in their favor and validated both of their recitations, informing them that it was revealed in this way. However, many scholars hold that these recitations were for the facilitation of the Arabs at that time, considering that they had different dialects from one another. Therefore, when the Qur'an was compiled, 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) standardized the recitation to the language of Quraysh only. So, Allah knows best, for I have not formed an opinion on this issue; however, my inclination is that what 'Uthman did is the salvation and the way out of the many differences that occurred afterwards, especially when they went beyond the seven recitations to the ten recitations, and perhaps more than that. In any case, in my belief, these recitations actually need to be studied by groups of scholars specialized in recitations; because I believe that the differences that occurred in these recitations are similar to those that occurred in the schools of jurisprudence. Just as it does not suffice for us to say regarding these jurisprudential rulings that they are all sought from the Messenger, or to say regarding a hadith that has no basis:; likewise, we cannot say regarding these different recitations that they are a mercy until we establish two things. The first thing is the establishment of every recitation from these seven or ten from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The second thing is that these recitations are a continuing Shari'ah until the Day of Resurrection. These two points need people from among the reciters who are memorizers and proficient, to clarify these points so that people are on clear evidence regarding their religion. This is sufficient for now.

The questioner : O our Shaykh, are there hadiths regarding gold that are abrogated or anomalous?
The Shaykh : It is your question about gold; what do you mean by gold?
The questioner : I mean, they say some scholars that there are hadiths that came regarding gold or jewelry... that there are abrogated or anomalous hadiths that are not authentic, their authenticity is not valid; is this correct? Did that come? I mean, a general question about the hadiths of gold.
Another questioner : ... .
The questioner : No, regarding the prohibition.
Another questioner : The gold that is worn, do you mean?
The questioner : All of it.
