The Shaykh : As for what follows, the best of speech is the speech of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and the worst of matters are their innovations, and every innovation is a religious innovation, and every religious innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.
We are now studying the chapter sixty-eight after the hundred, which is: "The chapter on giving the fruit to the youngest of the children present."
We notice how deeply versed in jurisprudence the Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) was in his chapter headings and titles. We had previously covered the chapter sixty-three after the hundred: "The virtue of the elder," followed by: "Reverence for the elder," then: "The elder begins the conversation and questioning," then: "If the elder does not speak, may the younger speak?" and the last chapter of the previous lesson: "The chapter on giving precedence to the elders." Thus, he has arranged a series of chapters that illustrate practical etiquette with the distinguished and the elders. Now, in contrast to that, he lists chapters that clarify how one should treat the young, and how to be polite and gentle with them. So the first chapter he establishes in this regard says: The chapter on giving the fruit; meaning the fresh fruit, when the youngest of the children present is there.
