The Shaykh: Following.
The questioner: The religion, which is in relation to ... .
The Shaykh: The religion, yes.
The questioner: He said, and he mentioned the hadith, saying, "So a man stood up dragging his garment from the rear of the people," and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 4685Da'if (Darussalam) to the end of the hadith, stating that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not rebuke him for dragging his garment.
The Shaykh: Where is the dragging of the garment? So a man stood up.
The questioner: Yes, indeed, naturally, the beginning of the hadith is that there was a funeral here, and when they turned away, he said, "Is there anyone here from the family of so-and-so?" and the people remained silent. And whenever he started with them on something, they would remain silent. So he said that repeatedly three times, and no one answered. Then a man said, "It is this one." So a man stood up dragging his garment from the rear of the people, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
The Shaykh: That is sufficient for the point of reference.
The questioner: Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: This one who is observing this observation or attending to this criticism seems to be a non-Arab like me.
The questioner: By Allah, no, not like you.
The student: A non-Arab like the Shaykh.
The questioner: He is not a non-Arab, but he is a non-Arab.
The Shaykh: He is dragging his garment; he is not imagining that this is the dragging that is prohibited. This person was sitting and tired from the abaya, so he stands up, and it has not yet settled ... due to his concern with the matter.
The Shaykh: Following.
The questioner: The religion, which is in relation to ... .
The Shaykh: The religion, yes.
The questioner: He said, and he mentioned the hadith, saying, "So a man stood up dragging his garment from the rear of the people," and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

What prevented you in the first two instances from answering me? As for me, I did not mention your name except for good. So-and-so is a man from them who is bound by his debt from Paradise. If you wish, ransom him, and if you wish, hand him over to the punishment of Allah. If you had seen
