Is it established from Abu Hurayrah: (that a man came to him and said to him: I want to be your brother in Allah.

The questioner: In a report we hear often from Abu Hurayrah: "That a man came to him and said to him: I want to be your brother in Allah. He said: No. He said: meaning why? He said: Do I think I am more deserving of your dirham than you? He said: No.

The Shaykh: Do I think.

The questioner: I am more deserving of your dirham than you? He said: No. He said: Then no. What do you think, is something like this authentic?

The Shaykh: No, I do not think so; because brotherhood in Allah has levels and degrees that do not end.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: But if the matter reaches this point, it is the pinnacle of sincere brotherhood, but this is difficult to achieve today and before today as well. Did this bundle become two bundles or did it remain? Why did you do this... two bundles?

The questioner: For the watermelon.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner: For the watermelon, these.

The Shaykh: Ah, yes, why did you make them two sections?

The questioner: So I can wash them, it will be lighter. Come on, Aisha.

The questioner: But is the report itself authentic, our Shaykh?

The Shaykh : I do not know.
