It is stated in Majma' al-Zawa'id by al-Dhahabi that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would grow in a day as much as others grow in a month. What is your opinion?

The Shaykh : Here is a strange question; the questioner has flailed about blindly in the dark night. He said, "It is stated in Majma' al-Zawa'id by al-Dhahabi." We do not know Majma' al-Zawa'id by al-Dhahabi; it is Majma' al-Haythami. Here he says al-Dhahabi. He claims that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would grow in a day as much as others grow in a month. I have not heard of this until this very moment. I want the questioner to show me this hadith in the book so that we can examine it. And what?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It says, "Its narrators are trustworthy," and then in the footnote it says, "Its narrators are trustworthy." Someone wrote here, and perhaps he means, except for Halimah.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : So what does that mean? And is the story authentic? It is certainly invalid, but let us see what the author of the book says.
'Aid 'Abassi: ... and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ... in the day ... .
The Shaykh : ... the story of Halimah?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : The story is not authentic, and I believe I mentioned it and referred to it in my response to Dr. al-Bouti, which will be published in a near-future message, if Allah wills.
