Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Asid ibn al-Hudayr, when he kissed the waist of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : Who is he?
The questioner: Asid ibn Hudayr.
The Shaykh: Fudayl?
The questioner: It says: The kissing of Asid ibn Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him).
The Shaykh: Asid, yes.
The questioner: Of the waist of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he told him to touch his skin...
The Shaykh: Yes, yes, meaning do you consider it a recommended practice?
The questioner: No, no. Is this narration authentic?
The Shaykh: Ah, by Allah, I do not remember now.
The questioner: But a husband kissing his wife!
The Shaykh: Excuse me a moment, do you remember anything?
The questioner: I remember, my Shaykh, its authenticity.
The Shaykh: Its authenticity. If this is established, it is a specific instance, just as Abu Hurayrah kissed the navel of al-Hasan, because he saw the Messenger doing the same, but this does not allow for generalization.
The questioner: My Shaykh, I wanted to say something: regarding the mention of kissing the hand.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Today, glory be to Allah, I was reading in "Al-Siyar A'lam al-Nubala" in the biography of Abu Bakr ibn 'Iyash.
The Shaykh: Good...
The questioner: That he saw a man, meaning one of the elite, from the people of jurisprudence and religion in that era, and he said to him: "I fear fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for you." He said to him: "What fitnah do you fear for me?" He said: "I see them kissing your hand and you do not stop them."
