The questioner : I say: You mentioned in "The Description of Prayer" the hadith: "Between his prostration and the wall was the passage of a sheep," and you said: It is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and it does not exist with this wording, but rather it exists: "Between the prayer place of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the wall," and you said about this hadith: It is an anomalous hadith, as in "Al-Bukhari's Summary"?
The Shaykh : It is difficult to answer this statement; because often there is an error by the narrator; because when, from the transmitter, the text in al-Bukhari, repeat to me what is the text?
The questioner : It says: "Between his prostration." You are the one who mentioned in "The Description": "Between his prostration and the wall was the passage of a sheep."
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : And you said: It is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
The Shaykh: Good.
The questioner : It says: And it does not exist with this wording, but rather it exists: "Between the prayer place of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the wall," and you said about this hadith: It is an anomalous hadith?
The Shaykh : Between the prayer place and the wall, what does that mean? One of two things; either between the Prophet's standing place and the wall; and this is impossible, or between the place of his prostration and the wall; and this is what the scholars interpreted. So if we narrate the hadith in a way that it must be understood this way, it is said: This hadith is not in al-Bukhari, but rather in al-Bukhari it is: "Between the prayer place and the wall." The disagreement here remains a verbal disagreement, and the scholars agreed that it is permissible to narrate the hadith by meaning, especially in such a concise summary book as you know. As for his saying that we said that this is anomalous; this actually requires recalling the place where we said: It is anomalous. As for the first criticism, this is an error by the questioner.
The questioner : Leave it...
The Shaykh: Good.
