Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is there a hadith that has passed you by, even if it is weak or fabricated, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a man who came to him on Friday Sunan Ibn Majah 1114Da’if (Darussalam) Have you seen a hadith like this?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And what is the ruling on this hadith?
The Shaykh : "Before you came" is a denoted addition, and the hadith is valid in *al-Bukhari* and *Muslim* without it.
The questioner : Where is the addition found?
The Shaykh : In Ibn Majah.
The questioner : This addition, "before you came," is weak.
The Shaykh : Can you answer my question?
The questioner : Denoted means weak.
The Shaykh : Can you answer my question?
The questioner : Please.
The Shaykh : What does your answer before the question mean? Did you know what the question was?
The questioner : No, I did not know.
The Shaykh : Say no, then what did you answer? Nothing. What is the benefit of your question, "Where is the addition found?"
The questioner : I mean, I want to know where it is found. We actually looked for it, but we could not find it.
The Shaykh : So if you asked and knew that this addition is found in *Sunan Ibn Majah*, what is the result? What is the fruit of the question and answer?
The questioner : We need to see, for example, in the book.The Shaykh : Nasser graded it as hasan (good) or sahih (authentic).
The Shaykh : It does not come out in your hand.
The questioner : You did not verify the books, so someone else said it is hasan or sahih.
The Shaykh : Like which book?
The questioner : *Sunan Ibn Majah* is not verified.
The Shaykh : You have returned to me.
The questioner : Did no one work on it besides you, professor?
The Shaykh : No, no one worked on it besides me in the way I pursued it. I will explain to you so that your mind is at ease and your heart is corrected, and may Allah correct my state and your state. I worked on it with a memorizer from the students of al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, who is known as al-Busiri, but not the Sufi al-Busiri, rather the hadith scholar al-Busiri. He wrote a book on the additions to *Sunan Ibn Majah*, the additions. He speaks about these hadiths that are additional to the three Sunans, which are four of them, including Ibn Majah, leaving Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and al-Nasa'i.
Al-Halabi : Five.
The Shaykh : Which five?
Al-Halabi : With the two Sahihs, its additions to the five.
The Shaykh : Naturally, if it is added to the three Sunans, this is even more so, but I thought to specify the Sunans because there are additions to the two Sahihs only, but he is not more comprehensive than that. The point is that he spoke only about these hadiths that are additional to these five books, as he said. As for me, my work was much broader than that.
The questioner : You specialized Ibn Majah alone in the book.
The Shaykh : We specialized each book of the Sunans in speech, but we need to ask now.The questioner : What do you care about from the hadith?
The questioner : I care that this is a text that there is a pre-Friday sunnah.
The Shaykh : Ah, you see how it is? But regarding the minister's side, do not approach it, so I will speak now, and do not worry, as long as the minister's side is not approached.
The questioner : We, my professor, regardless of its authenticity, it does not concern us. We do not want to be exposed to the minister, nor him, nor anyone else. We want to know from the Sharia perspective what you have regarding this issue. I mean, his opinion does not concern us, nor him, nor anyone else. I care about the holder of the opinion.
The Shaykh : But I did not understand this speech. You do not care about him or anyone else. Who is he?
The questioner : Any holder of an opinion. We do not care about the holder of the opinion; we care about the opinion. We heard this issue is new, raised for the first time. I am hearing about the hadith. We searched for it and lost a night, and we do not know where this addition is. Look at it, so we asked you about it.
The Shaykh : This is proof of the breadth of reach in knowledge and the breadth of review.
The questioner : By Allah, there are many books, and by Allah, they were in our hands.
The Shaykh : Do you not have the six books? You returned to one of them, *Sunan Ibn Majah*.
The questioner : Point us to where the addition is; we do not point to it. As for many narrations, it comes to five or six narrations, we found them, but we did not find this addition.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner : We searched and told you where to find it, because we wasted empty time.
The Shaykh : But then the question comes: why did you not ask about the original issue and save yourself from asking about this hadith?
The questioner : No, by Allah, because we worked on the hadith. We looked for the hadith because we wanted to know, because it is the relied-upon evidence in the issue.
The Shaykh : So if you know that the hadith is dropped, you are at ease.
The questioner : It is like that.
The Shaykh : Then why do you want the topic? We will sit and talk in detail.
The questioner : I did not intend to tell you like that. I will speak to you about this hadith.
The Shaykh : The audience: They laugh.
Did you perform two Rak’ah before you came?
هل صليت ركعتين قبل أن تجيءThe Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And what is the ruling on this hadith?
The Shaykh : "Before you came" is a denoted addition, and the hadith is valid in *al-Bukhari* and *Muslim* without it.
