Removing a misconception that may arise regarding the meaning of seclusion mentioned in the hadith of Hudhayfah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And there is no doubt that I am adding something to my own statement that I failed to mention. The intention in the hadith of Hudhayfah is not seclusion on the top of a mountain, as the Sufis claim. It is not about secluding oneself from the groups. These are all sects. This means that you should not be with one sect except the group that has a caliph who has been pledged allegiance to. This does not exist. Therefore, you are not to be with this sect or that, with this group or that. Rather, you should focus on your own individual affairs. You can benefit people with your knowledge and your thinking, preparing for the group that wants to strive in the path of Allah. This is, of course, an obligation that every person who is able to do it should fulfill. This is a reminder, and the reminder benefits the believers. We are all about to break our fast, if Allah wills. And we ask Allah to accept from us and from you righteous deeds.
