The hadith of Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Who among you has fasted today?

The Shaykh : This is the last hadith in this chapter, and with it the lesson ends. This hadith was also mentioned earlier, so I am merely reminding you of it. It says: And from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Abu Bakr said: “I did.” He said: . Abu Bakr said: “I did.” He said: . Abu Bakr said: “I did.” He said: . Abu Bakr said: “I did.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . There is an omission here which I have placed in the margin, so whoever has a copy should correct their copy. The omission is after the phrase “in a man”: . Without this addition, the meaning of the hadith changes completely; that is, if a person did these five things in his lifetime, it would be true that he entered Paradise, whereas the hadith in the same source to which the author attributed it, with this addition, has the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: .
He says: Ibn Khuzaymah narrated it in his *Sahih*. This is a shortcoming of the author in his tracing of the hadith; for this hadith is in *Sahih Muslim*, and he attributed it to *Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah*. In the terminology of the scholars, this is a shortcoming in the science of tracing hadiths; because if a hadith is in one of the two *Sahih*s, it is not permissible to attribute it to anything else except by appending it to them or to one of them. As for saying: “Ibn Khuzaymah narrated it,” when Muslim also narrated it and he is not mentioned; this is a shortcoming in tracing. The reason is clear; it is the trust that the two *Sahih*s have gained among the scholars of the Ummah regarding the precision of the conditions they committed to in extracting the hadiths in their two books, unlike others. Among them is this Ibn Khuzaymah to whom the author attributed the hadith, and he is lenient compared to the two Shaykhs in the *Sahih*s; for he often narrates from some unknown narrators, and this is leniency, whereas the two Shaykhs shunned this leniency and their hadiths are distinguished by the highest level of authenticity. Therefore, it is not correct not to attribute a hadith to one of the two *Sahih*s when it is in one of them, and to attribute it to others, for this reason.
In any case, the author truly has a great merit; because it appears from the details of his book that he dictated this book from memory, not from a book. And if this memory undoubtedly requires preparation and review, but in any case, one of us today is unable to dictate a page from his memory without making a mistake; so what can be said of him who dictated two volumes like this volume, this being one of them, by dictation? So it is no surprise that he would be inattentive, forget, and make a mistake, and . However, this mistake of his is not the kind of error that requires repentance; because it is not a sin, but rather inattentiveness. And Allah, in any case, will reward him (Glorified and Exalted is He), and we ask Him to reward us with him as well.
The professor has questions with him, and we did not attend today, so perhaps the obstacle for him is good.

The questioner : Is the one after it weak?

The Shaykh: Yes.
Here are several questions, which we will arrange first according to their importance, and second according to their lack of repetition.
