The questioner : The questioner says: What is the degree of authenticity of the hadith: Mishkat al-Masabih 248; considering that you mentioned it in *Sahih* but did not specify that it is authentic?
The Shaykh : It has many chains of narration, some of which have been authenticated by some scholars. I have not yet reached a specific opinion of my own. Therefore, I am waiting for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to grant us security in the land and the opportunity to re-examine the chains of this hadith so that I may form a personal opinion regarding it.
In every successive century those who are reliable authorities will preserve this knowledge, rejecting the changes made by extremists, the plagiarisms of those who make false claims for themselves, and the interpretations of the ignorant
