Explanation of a new chapter from the chapters of "Al-Adab al-Mufrad," namely the chapter: "If the elder does not speak, is it permissible for the younger to speak?!"

The Shaykh : ... So his companions and some of his brothers came seeking blood money for him from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). One of them began to speak, so the Messenger (peace be upon him) ordered the eldest among them to begin speaking. Now, the author (may Allah have mercy on him) titles a new chapter, saying: "The chapter on whether, if the elder does not speak, the younger may speak."
We mentioned in the previous lesson that the preceding chapter and the hadith under it indicate one of the etiquettes of gatherings, which is that it is not befitting for the younger in knowledge and age to take precedence over the elder in age and knowledge. Now, due to the precision of Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him), he introduces a new line under this chapter, saying: If the elder does not speak, may the younger speak? The answer is understood from the following hadith, and it is affirmative, as will become clear to us.
