The Shaykh's response to Safwat al-Din regarding his claim of contradiction in the hadith (Whoever tells you that the Messenger of Allah urinated while standing, do not believe him) and the hadith (The Messenger of Allah used to advise us regarding you)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : From A'ishah: "Whoever tells you that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated while standing, do not believe him." I had graded this as weak, and in *Al-Mishkat* I followed a group of hadith masters, including Al-Iraqi and others. Later, I found another chain for it and graded it authentic. This is the contradiction.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, the point is that the following hadith, which he claims I am contradicting, is the second hadith, number two hundred and eighty, which I graded as strong there from the narration of Abu Nu'ayrah, meaning in *Al-Sahihah*.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I graded it as strong there from the narration of Abu Nu'ayrah and others from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, with a very brief wording: "The Messenger of Allah used to advise us regarding you," meaning the students of hadith. The portion of the hadith in the introduction by al-Baghawi, which I graded as weak in *Al-Mishkat*, is because it is from the narration of Abu Harun al-'Abdi, whom they graded as weak.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The one accused of lying, regarding the long version from Abu Sa'id with this wording, we mentioned the same hadith. Despite this difference in chain and text, which necessitates a difference in ruling between them regarding authenticity and weakness, the unjust aggressor Safwat al-Din claimed that this is a contradiction.
The questioner: Allah is the Greatest!
The Shaykh : And so, in summary... very much.
