Discussion on the verification of the wording of the hadith (Do not raise your stick against your family, and fear them for the sake of Allah)

The Shaykh : ... .
Al-Halabi : Praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : This is the ninth chapter of the original *Al-Adab al-Mufrad*. Good.
Al-Halabi : ...

The Shaykh : At the end of the hadith: .
Al-Halabi : Ah, look, glory be to Allah, Shaykh, your categorization is not what we are looking for.

The Shaykh: Yes.
Al-Halabi : Because it is advice.

The Shaykh: Yes.
Al-Halabi : Yes.

The Shaykh : Good, so what is the main point of the entire review?
Al-Halabi : The point, Shaykh, is that what is in my mind is now confirmed.

The Shaykh: And that is...
Al-Halabi : That the original was like this: .

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
Al-Halabi : So you called, Shaykh, and I told you that it was changed from "upon" to "from."

The Shaykh : Yes, so what is required of me now?
Al-Halabi Shaykh, do you have a copy of our original, which is *Sahih Jama' al-Adab*?

The Shaykh : No, you did not take it, did you?
Al-Halabi : Yes, we took it. Correct. Now, glory be to Allah, I want to see if what we changed remained as "upon" or became "from."

The Shaykh : Good, are you sure you changed it?
Al-Halabi : Ah, a change was made based on your request, but was the change to "upon" or to "from"?

The Shaykh: No.
Al-Halabi : I do not know exactly. Now I am in doubt.

The Shaykh : The change would only be from "upon" to "from."
Al-Halabi : Correct, it must be so.

The Shaykh : And this is what appears to be the case.
Al-Halabi : And this is what agrees with the texts we discussed.

The Shaykh: Yes.
Al-Halabi : The ones found in *Tahdhib al-Athar*.

The Shaykh : Good, so do you have the latest copy of *Sahih al-Adab*?
Al-Halabi : No, it is in the office, of course.

The Shaykh : In the office. Good, so you will review it, and if Allah wills, we will see what Allah creates.
Al-Halabi : Good, do you think adding *Tahdhib al-Athar* as a footnote or something is necessary, or is there no need?

The Shaykh : No, there is no need.
Al-Halabi : There is no need for that.

The Shaykh: No.
Al-Halabi : Ah, good, then.

The Shaykh : Because *Tahdhib al-Athar* has corroborating narrations for this passage, but as for the hadith in its entirety, I have not seen it. Did you see it?
Al-Halabi : No, no, I meant regarding this passage, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : The passage, yes.
Al-Halabi: Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, there are many hadiths that are explicit in the wording "from" and not "upon," is that clear?
Al-Halabi : Yes, it is clear, Shaykh. This part is found in *Tahdhib al-Athar*.

The Shaykh : From the hadith of Abu al-Darda'.
Al-Halabi : From the hadith of Abu al-Darda', yes.

The Shaykh : ... and where.
Al-Halabi : It is number... well, the numbers will be different. It will be: "Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, saying: Ibn Abi 'Ubayd narrated to us from Rashid Abu Muhammad from Shahr from Umm al-Darda' from Abu al-Darda' who said: My close friend Abu al-Qasim advised me and said: ."

The Shaykh : Yes, this is the number I have. I have it as 884.
Al-Halabi : Yes, exactly.

The Shaykh : Yes, this is how it is. This is what appears to be the case.
Al-Halabi : Yes.

The Shaykh : It is clear that the intended phrase is to frighten them.
Al-Halabi: Yes.

The Shaykh : And this is the explanation of "frighten them for the sake of Allah."
Al-Halabi : Yes.

The Shaykh: Yes.
Al-Halabi : So, I will go down to the office now, if Allah wills. I am in the process of going down.

The Shaykh : Yes.
Al-Halabi : So review this point, the hadith number eighteen in the original.

The Shaykh : Fine, may Allah reward you with good.
Al-Halabi : May Allah bless you, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : But take advantage of the opportunity.
Al-Halabi : Please, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Note it down for me.
Al-Halabi : I agree with you.

The Shaykh : Because here, when I cited *Al-Arwah* in my handwriting.
Al-Halabi: Ah.

The Shaykh : There are two numbers.
Al-Halabi: Yes.

The Shaykh : 2086 and 2026.
Al-Halabi: Yes.

The Shaykh : If the printed number is 2026, then that is the correct one. If it is 2080, then it should be corrected.
Al-Halabi : I mean, the same... the same number, I mean the same hadith.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, the same long hadith of Abu al-Darda' that is in *Al-Adab al-Mufrad*.
Al-Halabi : Good, I will review it today, with the permission of Allah, and call you.

The Shaykh : I noted the two numbers.
Al-Halabi : Of course, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And that the correct one is the smaller number.
Al-Halabi : Yes, I wrote them correctly here, and here it is an error.

The Shaykh : Yes, he is good.
Al-Halabi : May Allah preserve you, Professor.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
Al-Halabi : And you as well, Shaykh.

The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
Al-Halabi : Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.
