The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Praise be to Allah, with all good.
The questioner : O our Shaykh... he mentioned such-and-such, saying that al-Suyuti, in *al-Maqasid al-Hasanah*, regarding the mention of an ambiguous man, means that the hadith is counted among the type of disconnected reports. But if he says “from men” or “men narrated to us,” al-Sakhawi says about it: that it is strengthened by this, meaning by the number of men, and the hadith becomes good if the rest of the men are trustworthy. I do not know what your comment is on this statement?
The Shaykh : The statement is sound if the narrator from the men is trustworthy.
The questioner : If the narrator from the men is trustworthy, O our Shaykh, here there is a possibility, meaning that these men received it from one man, and we do not know who this man is, or whether he is trustworthy. How is that?
The Shaykh : Your question is about a chain containing men. Now you are saying “this man.”
The questioner : Yes, meaning these ambiguous men, the possibility of their receiving it from...
The Shaykh : You are explaining to me, meaning I am drawing your attention, meaning your expression is wrong. You say “this man is unknown.”
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Fine, you are talking about the men.
The questioner : Meaning I say the men themselves.
The Shaykh : You did not say “these men” just now.
The questioner: All right.
The Shaykh : You said “this man,” and you want to hear your own words, so hear them.
The questioner : No, no... the attention.
The Shaykh : No, meaning for fear that something happens to yourself, that I...
The questioner : No, I seek forgiveness from Allah, it will not happen.
The Shaykh : Ah, okay.
The questioner : ... O my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : My answer is: these men, the person who narrates from them knows more than you and I know. The possibility that is now occurring to you in your mind also occurs to him. Do you think he is attentive to what you are attentive to, or not?
The questioner : Yes, this returns to our trust in the trustworthiness of this narrator. Yes, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
The questioner : I do not know, if I occupy you with the hadith, I occupy you from what is in your hands.
The Shaykh : No, no, the truth is I wanted to say: I have no objection at all to your attending to hear the questions.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But not to direct questions.
The questioner : Fine, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : If you are like this, then welcome and easy, because your attendance benefits me and does not harm me.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : But if you occupy me with your questions from what I am engaged in serving you with, that is something you would not approve of.
The questioner : Yes, truly I do not approve of it.
The Shaykh : That is it.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
Another questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
The questioner : How are you, O our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : Now...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He suggested regarding the topic of the invitation to food, saying, “What do you think about having lunch with me on Saturday?” So I said to him: Of course.The Shaykh : He, if Allah wills, if there is a possibility, he will specify, meaning.
The Shaykh : After the afternoon prayer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : After the afternoon prayer, as for me.
The questioner : On Saturday, or do you prefer Sunday, or when do you prefer?
The Shaykh : Whatever you prefer.
The questioner : He said Saturday.
The Shaykh : Whatever you prefer.
The questioner : Fine, okay, may Allah reward you with good and may Allah do you good.
The Shaykh : And to you, if Allah wills.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : Is Shaykh Nasser with me?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Where are you speaking from, my brother?
The questioner : I am with you, my brother Taysir from Algeria.
The Shaykh : Your voice is very faint.
The questioner : I will raise it a little, do you hear, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Raise it a lot, not a little.
The questioner : Yes, yes, or should I call you again, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Praise be to Allah, with all good.
