Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Shaykh : Pardon me, regarding the matter, I mentioned the hadith Sahih al-Bukhari 8 and also Sunan an-Nasa'i 3983Sahih (Darussalam). But these people, the Shi'ah in Iraq, always, even in the minarets at the times, and in the prayer, and at all times, say: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and I bear witness that Ali is the wali of Allah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: So this is an addition, excuse me, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: May Allah forgive you. This question is related to that question. I am asking you now, you.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: You are not a Shi'i. You are like me, from the people of the Sunnah and the people of hadith, if Allah wills.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: I am asking you now, do you not bear witness that Ali is the wali of Allah?
The questioner: But you did not mention it.
The Shaykh: O Shaykh, may Allah guide you.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: But this is a correction. What are you correcting, and you have not answered?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: I am asking you a question: Do you not bear witness that Ali is the wali of Allah?
The questioner: Yes, I bear witness.
The Shaykh: That is the answer. You said it, but say it if you wish. But what?
The questioner: I mean, at all times, I mean in the dhikr.
The Shaykh: Yes, therefore...
The questioner: ... in the hadiths.
The Shaykh: I know what you want, but you did not clarify what you want well. And therefore I told you, my brother, this question is not related to this question. This question is related to religious innovation. And today you live in a Sunni society, not a Shi'i one, and it is full of innovations. Did you not find in the Shi'ah except this defect? You have in the people of the Sunnah more than this defect: they add an introduction to the adhan and a conclusion to the adhan. What is your opinion about sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Do you send blessings upon the Prophet or not? Are you a Wahhabi? Hehe.
The questioner : Hehehe.
The Shaykh: Do you send blessings upon the Prophet or not?
The questioner: Yes, I send blessings upon the Prophet.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh: Okay, what is your opinion? Is it permissible for the mu'adhdhin to send blessings upon the Prophet?
The questioner: Yes, it is permissible.
The Shaykh: Yes, perhaps you did not understand the question.
The questioner: I did not understand the question.
The Shaykh: You definitely did not understand the question.
The questioner : I understood.
The Shaykh: I am telling you.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: What is your opinion about the mu'adhdhin sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after the adhan? Is it permissible?
The questioner: In this manner, it is not permissible.
The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you.
The questioner: I mean...
The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you.
The questioner: The same wording.
The Shaykh: I did not specify a manner for you so that you would use the demonstrative pronoun and say "in this manner." What is this, O Shaykh? May Allah guide you. I am asking you an absolute question.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: What do you say about the mu'adhdhin sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after the adhan? When you say "in this manner,"
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Unfortunately, you do not realize that you have trapped yourself.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Do you know why? Tell me.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Say "I know" or "I do not know." Subhan Allah! I am telling you, my brother, in this manner it is not permissible. In what manner is it permissible? Because they say, hehe, in the books of the scholars, they say, unfortunately, some of them: The concepts of the Book and the Sunnah are not used as evidence, but the concepts of the scholars are used as evidence. So you say "in this manner." This is the explicit text, and its concept is that there is another manner in which it is permissible. What is it?
The questioner: The one who says "May Allah send blessings and peace upon him."
The Shaykh: This is permissible.
The questioner: This hadith, the hadith, the hadith.
The Shaykh: I am telling you, my brother, do not explain. May Allah reward you. You just answer me.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: What is the manner in which it is permissible for the mu'adhdhin to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after the adhan? Is there a permissible manner and a non-permissible manner? Oh, may Allah forgive you.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: A word in which you erred, we do not hold you accountable for it except to clarify the error. But I wanted to tell you: there is no difference between a Shi'i who says after "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" the phrase "and Ali is the wali of Allah," for he is an innovator. Did you hear the answer now? And my saying "innovator" is what justified me in saying "May Allah forgive you." This is not related to this question, because your question is sufficient to declare someone a disbeliever or not. But as for innovating, he innovates. Even the people of the Sunnah innovate. How many innovations are there today in this time, and those who approved them are the ones Muhammad 'Abduh (may Allah have mercy on him) described in his time as having turbans like towers, or for the shaykhs, or for some shaykhs, a turban like a tower and a robe like a sack. Many of these people approve these innovations. What do we say? These are people of the Sunnah, no problem, they innovate, and those Shi'ah should not innovate? No. The truth is truth and falsehood is falsehood. The truth is truth, whether it comes from a Shi'i, and falsehood is falsehood, whether it comes from a Sunni. Because the matter is not by claims, as the poet said:
"And claims, unless you establish for them proofs, their offspring are claimants."
So the saying of the Shi'ah in the adhan: "and I bear witness that Ali is the wali of Allah." This is a word of truth placed in the wrong place. Likewise, the sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by those who send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) after the adhan is a word of truth placed in the wrong place. And it is not so for some who say: "O first of Allah's creation." This is a false statement. It is not permissible to say this, not after the adhan, not before the adhan, and not in any place, because the statement is false from its origin. Okay, do you have anything else?
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And you,
Islam is based on (the following) five (principles): 1. To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
بني الإسلام على خمس شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله و أن محمد رسول اللهI have been commanded to fight the people
أمرت أن أقاتل الناسThe Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: So this is an addition, excuse me, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: May Allah forgive you. This question is related to that question. I am asking you now, you.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: You are not a Shi'i. You are like me, from the people of the Sunnah and the people of hadith, if Allah wills.
