Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith: Is the hadith authentic?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. Welcome.
The questioner: Amen.
The Shaykh : If Allah makes it easy for us, we may accept your invitation. And peace be upon you.
The questioner : And upon you be peace. If we schedule it with you, you are by yourself, meaning there is no issue?
The Shaykh : But it is not appropriate for me, personally, to leave my companion.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. I think your companion is busy.
The Shaykh : ... with me.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. If we schedule it with another friend, you have another companion.
The Shaykh : No, it is not that I cannot make an appointment with you, but I told you that I do not think it is right to take advantage of my companion’s busyness due to his father’s illness to leave him. Do you understand what I mean?
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Then, if Allah wills.
Whoever catches the bowing (ruku’) has caught the unit of prayer (rak’ah)
