The Shaykh : Weak.
The questioner : Weak.
Another questioner : Weak?
Another questioner : Weak.
The Shaykh : The stronger position is that it is a saying of al-Hasan al-Basri, but attributing it to the Messenger (peace be upon him) is an error that is not authentic.
The questioner : The meaning?
The Shaykh : The meaning is beautiful.
The questioner : Very good.
The Shaykh : Yes, and as we say, this is a witness that there is no necessary connection between the fact that the meaning of a sentence attributed to the Messenger (peace be upon him) is correct and acceptable, and the fact that the Messenger (peace be upon him) actually said it.
The questioner: Of course.
The Shaykh : This is of that nature.
The questioner : Does the hadith complete itself?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : With its completion.
The Shaykh: Ah, yes.
