The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : A fabricated hadith.
The questioner : It is invalid.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Another questioner: Shaykh Muhammad ... says it is weak.
The Shaykh: This hadith is invalid; because as for its chain of narration, it is the weakest chain, and as for its text, it is the most false text on earth. Because, first, it contradicts the correct transmission, which is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3319Sahih (Darussalam), the light of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not. Second, this hadith has a continuation, and believing in this continuation takes its believer out of Islam. Because when they claim that the light of Muhammad was created, they say He took a handful of His light and said to it: "Be Muhammad," and it became so. And by that, it became a part of Allah, just as the Christians say about their prophet.
