What is the authenticity of the hadith of the female spy? And is it contradictory to other hadiths?

The questioner: He says: His EminenceThe Shaykh : , the hadith of the female spy; is it authentic? And is it contradictory to some of the hadiths? We ask for clarification of that.

The Shaykh: The hadith of the female spy is an authentic hadith, and there is nothing in it that contradicts the authentic hadiths in any way; rather, it contains details that will occur one day from among those that were not mentioned in some of the authentic hadiths, and some of them have occurred, as narrated by Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him). The people today want to apply the hadiths concerning the unseen to their small minds, and this is not of faith in anything; because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: ; so it is obligatory for every Muslim when a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) comes to him, whether this hadith concerns beliefs or rulings or the signs of the Hour, or any ruling concerning the unseen; the obligation of the Muslim before this hadith or that one is two things:
The first thing: that he asks the people of knowledge of the hadith; is it authentic or not? If they tell him that it is authentic, he must do the second thing: which is to submit his mind, his thought, and his culture in which he was raised to believing in this hadith; because it is from the matters of the unseen, and we have known that the first attribute of the true believer is what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said just now in the verse - the verse of al-Baqarah -; .
So belief in the unseen is a very important matter, by which Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) tests His servants with such authentic hadiths, and there is no doubt in the authenticity of the hadith of the female spy for two reasons:
The first: that Imam Muslim narrated it in his "Sahih," and the other is that we did not find in its chain of narration any defect or point of criticism, and therefore it is not permissible for the Muslim to philosophize about it and say: it is logical or it is not logical, and similar to this speech, which does not come from one who truly believes in the unseen. This is the answer regarding the hadith of the female spy.

The questioner: There are hadiths that have been transmitted that contradict this hadith.

The Shaykh : I did not say that.

Another questioner: Yes, some people said it; so how do we understand it? Like the hadith.

The Shaykh : For example?

Another questioner: His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): .

The Shaykh: Yes, the one who says this speech is ignorant of the science of the principles of jurisprudence. There is no general text except that it has been specified, and this is from that; meaning except what the text has come to exclude that, and upon this relied those who claimed that al-Khidr (peace be upon him) is still alive among the people, but we say - as we learned from some of the scholars - "Establish the Throne and then erase," we say to him: Establish that al-Khidr is alive so that we can exclude him from the hadith, and since there is no authentic hadith that establishes the life of al-Khidr up to the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we had no need to say that al-Khidr is excluded from the hadith , whereas the Dajjal is alive by the explicit hadith that was mentioned just now, and likewise Isa is still alive, even if this is in the sky; so the answer is: specifying the general with the specific hadith, otherwise this ignorant person and his like would fall into ignorance, rather into successive ignorances; because we will confront him with the noble verse, and this is an example I mention in many of such occasions; namely His saying (the Exalted): to the end of the verse, so is it permissible to eat dead fish? He will say it is permissible, so what is the answer to the verse? He will be forced to say with the saying of the scholars, the verse is general and the hadith specifies this verse, so how does the hadith not specify the hadith? That is even more so.
Other than that?
