Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : There is a hadith, but its chain of narration is not authentic.
The questioner : I mean, is it not authentic? Is there any sin if a person forgets part of the Qur'an, for example?

The Shaykh : And you as well.
The questioner: May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and may Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you. The term "Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah" (the people of the Sunnah and the community) in later Islamic terminology, from centuries ago, refers to the creed of the Asha'irah and the Maturidiyyah, and it does not refer to the creed of the people of hadith.

Review this Qur'an and sing with it. By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, it is more likely to slip from the hearts of men than camels from their ropes.
