Is the hadith: (I have come to you with slaughter...) authentic?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : That is, in the hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to raise the knife during the Meccan period and say to the polytheists of Quraysh: .
The Shaykh : He used to raise the knife.
The questioner : That is, the sword.
The Shaykh : That is, is this a marginal note from you? As for his saying:, this is authentic. But that he raised it with a knife, that is a marginal note from you or from whoever told you that.
Al-Halabi : Al-Halabi: And in the Meccan period he says.
The questioner : In the Meccan period.
The Shaykh : I do not know right now, you are reminding us.
The questioner : I have come to you with slaughter.
The Shaykh : No, no, we know this hadith, but the question now is whether it is in the Meccan period or the Medinan period? And whether it is this or that, that does not mean... Glorified is Allah! I thank Allah (Mighty and Majestic) that the one who lives and lives with the Sunnah is affected by it. I said to you a moment ago a word that I forgot, perhaps some of the brothers will remind me of it regarding what concerns the state. I said:
Al-Halabi : A man of religion, not a man of state.
The Shaykh : No, before that, I said a word that means, do we fight the state or do we not fight it? We fight it or we do not fight it. Did you remember this word?
Al-Halabi: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, so my saying "we fight it" is the slaughter, but it is not the hasty slaughter that comes to mind. It is the delayed slaughter, meaning we prepare to eliminate these tyrants. But right now, we are not able to do anything. I often say that you must have received something from the spray of those who were formerly called the Group of Disbelief
Al-Halabi : Takfir and Hijrah.
The Shaykh : Takfir and Hijrah, and now they are called the Mujahideen or Jihad. You must have heard something of their call.
The questioner : This is what is said now...
The Shaykh : I know this, so these people raise their voices high in fighting the rulers who rule by other than what Allah has revealed, is that not so? Good, we do not speak about their intentions and their inner thoughts, that knowledge is with my Lord. But I say these are children who have been misled. I say to these people, fight them, here they are before you in every land of Islam. Are they able to do anything? Yes, they did something and they did not do anything. I repeat this contradictory tone: they did something and they did not do anything. They did something: they destroyed many people in the path of establishing the rule of Islam. And they did not do anything: you all remember what happened in the Sacred Mosque, the fitnah of the Sacred Mosque, then the fitnah of Egypt and the fitnah of Syria. So what was the outcome? The call went backward, Allah willing, for years. That is because they are afflicted with haste in matters. And there is a wisdom that says: "Whoever hastens a thing before its time is afflicted with its deprivation." So these people now raise their voices high and divide the Islamic groups by saying that these do not fight these rulers. Good, do they fight? They do nothing except to increase the division among the groups and to increase the weakness of the Muslims. Otherwise, they are not able to fight these rulers, and they are equipped with all material weapons. And those who claim that we must fight these because we are in open disbelief, then they do nothing. Why? Because they did not prepare as Allah the Exalted said:[At-Tawbah 9:46] So we take the preparation, and it is on the two previous pillars: purification and education. And these who now claim to belong to Jihad, in reality, there is no Shaykh among them. First, I mean by Shaykh linguistically, there is no elderly Shaykh among them, meaning one who has tried the matters and known the conditions of the people and the nations and their natures and their morals, and so on. Let alone that there be a Shaykh in language and knowledge. They are all from the young ones who were mentioned in some of the hadiths of the first Khawarij: And therefore, we should not be deceived by such hastening to eliminate the rule by other than what Allah has revealed in order to establish the rule by what Allah has revealed, because the matter will not be accomplished by merely these unbridled emotions that have no limits. And how well it was said:
The Shaykh: "Sa'd drove them in, and Sa'd was wrapped up. *** It is not thus, O Sa'd, that you drive in the camels."
I have come to you with slaughter
جئتكم بالذّبحThe Shaykh : He used to raise the knife.
The questioner : That is, the sword.
The Shaykh : That is, is this a marginal note from you? As for his saying:
I have come to you with slaughter
جئتكم بالذّبحAl-Halabi : Al-Halabi: And in the Meccan period he says.
The questioner : In the Meccan period.
The Shaykh : I do not know right now, you are reminding us.
The questioner : I have come to you with slaughter.
The Shaykh : No, no, we know this hadith, but the question now is whether it is in the Meccan period or the Medinan period? And whether it is this or that, that does not mean... Glorified is Allah! I thank Allah (Mighty and Majestic) that the one who lives and lives with the Sunnah is affected by it.

And if they had intended to go forth, they would have prepared for it [some] preparation
