The hadith (Whoever has an imam, the imam's recitation is his recitation) was authenticated by Al-Albani in *Sifat al-Salah* and weakened in *Al-Irwaa*. Which one do we rely on?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The hadith Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:309 I authenticated it in *Sifat al-Salah* and weakened it in *Al-Irwaa*. The question is good, so which one do we rely on? The same question, did you not notice that this was the question?
The questioner : ... the same result
The Shaykh : The same result, I asked him, "Have you read the research in *Al-Irwaa* and found that I weakened the hadith there?" He was surprised by this question and was forced to mention Al-Saqaf, and he was exposed. I kept telling him, "My brother, may Allah guide you, read the entire research in *Al-Irwaa* and you will not find any contradiction there." He returns and, as you noticed exactly, tries to get an admission from me that there is a contradiction on my part, because this is Al-Saqaf's understanding of Al-Albani's contradictions. In conclusion, I finally told him, "The hadith in *Al-Irwaa* is not weakened, but in *Al-Irwaa* there is a very long research in which I traced the chains and strengthened the hadith by the sum of the chains." He said, "You said that Al-Busayri authenticated the hadith, so you criticized him and that is all." There was a bit of a debate between us, I presented the conclusion to you earlier. The important thing is that the call ended and I understood that the man was malicious in his question and not a seeker of knowledge. After it ended, I went back to *Al-Irwaa* and, oh my, what I saw! Yes, I did follow up on Al-Busayri, because Al-Busayri authenticated the chain of this hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Ah
The questioner : for the same chain
The Shaykh : for the same chain, so I criticized him. If this criticism, regarding my final ruling on the authenticity of this hadith, means we need to see ... it does not suit me, but knowledge does not recognize this logic. Knowledge requires you to clarify what is for you and what is against you. I did indeed criticize Al-Busayri in his authentication of this chain in Sunan Ibn Majah. Imagine, just twelve pages to strengthen this hadith
The questioner : this is ... for us
The Shaykh : I remember it
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar, so I was amazed at this liar, how he is misleading people. Look at Al-Albani, yes ... this is *Sifat al-Salah*, he authenticated the hadith, he is criticizing Al-Busayri, even though I, in the end ... maybe one or two pages "And by the sum of these chains, it becomes clear that the hadith is either, I said, authentic or good, or strong by the sum of the chains, some of which are not severe" because in some chains there is severe weakness. So look at how he equated leaving the whole house and the fruit of this effort, and took my discussion of Al-Busayri in his authentication of one of those chains as ... this chain is truly, and if it were permissible for me to follow my desires, I would have agreed with him on the authentication, because I arrive at that conclusion
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ... not mine, and so with all his contradictions, Subhan Allah, meaning a man, Allah knows best, we do not know, between us and him is our Lord, he is not a Muslim at all, because these are not the characteristics of Muslims. I want the first and second and third time, does he not make it his habit to lie about Muslims? Allah knows best
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Allah knows best.
The questioner : ... our Shaykh, here, meaning ... they have had from long ago ... and lying
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : This man, meaning with his beginning, lying, continuous lying ... what ... .
The Shaykh : I am telling you, that this is the way of the people of innovation, but not to this extent, and now I am writing the introduction to the first volume of *Sahih*
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : He is exposed, because we are printing a new edition, he is exposed regarding Al-Saqaf and Hassan, a Sudanese also
The questioner : Sudanese
The Shaykh : Sudanese
The questioner : But ... small ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, the weak hadiths in the series of authentic hadiths, the important thing is this ... for me, not ... a phrase in the Sunnah
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest.
