Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the hadith of Hudhayfah in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 24:32, he means regarding withdrawal; so what do we say? Do we say that this hadith is applied in this time?
The Shaykh : Tell me what you understood from the hadith so that I can tell you whether it is applied in this time or not?
The questioner : I understood that Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman complained to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when it becomes the end of time.
The Shaykh : Do not recite the hadith. What did you understand from the hadith regarding withdrawal? I mean, I will tell you; does it mean people withdraw to the top of a mountain? Is that the withdrawal you understood?
The questioner : No, not to the top of a mountain.
The Shaykh : Yes, explain to me the withdrawal that you understood from the hadith.
The questioner : The withdrawal that I understand is that he withdraws in his house.
The Shaykh : No. He told you: Do not be partisan.
...
The questioner : My Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good; if you could clarify, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The hadith is clear, my brother, so withdraw; so withdraw from what? From all the factions.
The questioner : The difference.
Another questioner : Even if you have to bite the root of a tree.
The Shaykh : We do not differ, it is an emphasis, so it obligates us not to be partisans... and that is all.
Another questioner : ...like this gathering, and you make a visit for the sake of Allah, meaning this logic of ours is the application of the hadith of Hudhayfah.
The questioner : My Shaykh, if you allow me, I heard from some people who understand the hadith as if it is the withdrawal that I imagined in this concept.
The Shaykh : What do we want with people, my brother? Now you are asking a question in order to understand the hadith, is that not so?
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good a hundred times, what do you want now? Did you understand the meaning of the hadith?
The questioner : Yes, praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : What do you want with people now?
Another questioner : He wants to respond to them, his intention is that he wants to respond to these people.
The questioner : The accusation against Shaykh Nasser, they said that Shaykh Nasser is now saying withdrawal, they spread among people that Shaykh Nasser says withdrawal.
The Shaykh : What do you want with them, my brother? Did you not hear what Shaykh Nasser said?
The questioner : It is finished now, I mean.
The Shaykh : Okay; what is the benefit if some people say? It will not end!!
That fitnahs will come in the end of times.
