The Shaykh : You are asking: Where is it found? I am telling you the sources!

The questioner: Glory be to Allah!
The Shaykh : You are prolonging the explanation for us and wasting our time.
The questioner : Excuse me, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Is your question about the hadith of Hudhayfah or about the hadith of al-Hasan?
The questioner : About the hadith of al-Hasan.
The Shaykh : You asked me about the sources, and the sources are before you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, what is the meaning of this question when the answer is in the book?
The questioner : Okay, some of our students of knowledge in the mosque objected to us, and they said that in the chain of the hadith, meaning the hadith is narrated by one path from one path, and in the chain there is "Abu Salih al-As'ari" and "Abu 'Abd Allah al-As'ari."

The questioner : This is what we told him.
The Shaykh : This is an illusion, what does he know?
The questioner : This is what we told him.
The Shaykh : No problem, so why are you wasting my time now?! Just because a student came and whispered to you and said this to you?!
The questioner : By Allah, I want to learn, O Shaykh. I want to know the hadith, meaning is it authentic or weak, that is all?
The Shaykh : The knowledge is before you. This hadith is hasan.
