The intervention of one of the Tablighi members and his defense of his group.

The questioner: Then we ... even regarding these matters, we encourage these things, but it is not important that ... for example ... that anyone who wrote a book on how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, but the books exist and are numerous, the books exist, you - without blame - you are an author ... you have taken enough, but ah, of course I may not know the authentic hadith from the weak one, I can present it to scholars even if not ... the scholars in the country, I indicate whether this is authentic? Is this weak? So the question is not like this, I ask and search and look for it, it is not that I am recommending myself - for example - for authorship, I am not an author, and when I ... regarding the Amir of the Dawah that I must pray as the Amir of the Dawah authors; this, but the Dawah is like the Adhan for people, and I am a servant of Allah, I am not coming to discuss with you or convince you about the Dawah, but the person, since he has not tried the Dawah, does not know the reality of the Dawah except ... "Abu al-Hasan al-Nadwi" before he was asked about the Dawah, he went out in the path of Allah ... and expressed his opinion about "al-Zamil," and "Abu Bakr al-Jazairi" was asked about the Dawah? He also said: This is a traveling school, and Sayyid Sabiq - also - was asked about the Dawah? So he answered with what ... but I mean, no matter how much I explain about the Dawah, I cannot express ... excuse me, no matter how much I explain, I say ... it was a shortcoming, and we do not have great scholars, but the group, as you mentioned, the Amir of the Dawah ... for example, but praise be to Allah and thanks be to Allah, groups have risen ... the best person from the Dawah may have more jurisprudence than him, this is not the point, but he was the first to start.
We have one writer ... but he - what Allah willed! - has very good jurisprudence, and he is a speaker and has good information ... but I did not come ... and the brother, the Shaykh, the brother 'Isa' called him so that we could listen to the youth ... but the Dawah has ... but - praise be to Allah - in our outing we saw the scholars in Pakistan and India, and we saw the authors, and we saw what the Dawah intends, the Dawah's intention is merely an Adhan, an Adhan that calls people to establish the religion, but the person strives, I ... I am not fanatical, you ... .

The Shaykh: My brother - may Allah bless you - , I advised you with advice; enthusiasm in the Dawah is not beneficial!

The questioner: We ... .

The Shaykh: Enthusiasm, leave it aside, scientific research requires patience and calmness and so on, when you say the religion and call to the religion, is it not obligatory upon you to understand the religion?

The questioner: Certainly, but excuse me ... .

The Shaykh: Okay, how do you call and admit that we do not know the authentic hadith from the weak one and so on, when you want to come to deliver a lecture or do preaching or reminding and so on, a hadith comes to your mind to advise people, and you say: The Messenger of Allah said, and you are not a student of hadith?!

The questioner: Correct.

The Shaykh: And you do not know its authentic from its weak, what are you doing in this case?

The questioner: I am telling you, we have guidelines that we do not speak with weak hadith, so we do not memorize hadith except the strong ones.

The Shaykh: This is a deviation, I am telling you: How do you know the weak hadith?

The questioner: I did not tell you, when I bring a book, the first thing written - for example - is: Good hadith, Authentic hadith, and the extra ... I ask ... that ... in this hadith.

The Shaykh: My brother, I am not talking about your person, I am talking about the Dawah group, the Dawah group extending from the subcontinent and India and so on, do these people have a system of distinguishing the authentic from the weak? You are talking about yourself, and I told you previously that in the Tablighi group there are Salafis from our brothers from the people of hadith, just as in the Muslim Brotherhood there are Salafis and so on, but these people do not represent the Dawah, my brother, I am speaking about the Dawah, and you say: The one who did not enter the Dawah does not know it, how does he not know it? The Dawah is not ... a secret, the Dawah was established on the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah, as they recite before every lesson, so where is this Dawah? And we hear their lessons, we hear their sermons, we see deviant ideas from the Book and the Sunnah, deviant creed from the Book and the Sunnah.
