Some of the Tabi'un held the view of combining prayers; what is your opinion?

The questioner : ... He says that some of the Tabi'un held the view that combining prayers is permissible.

The Shaykh : What do we do if the hadith on this matter is explicit, and there are those who have held the view that combining is permissible? We are not concerned with... a hadith...
