Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith of Hudhayfah, yes, the one to whom the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : Does this apply to us regarding not belonging to parties?
The Shaykh : This hadith is among the evidence.
The questioner : It is among the evidence.
The Shaykh : Of course, there is no partisanship in Islam, meaning one does not form a bloc with a group.
The questioner : One does not form a bloc.
The Shaykh : Not at all.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : There is no bloc whatsoever, but our Lord says:[At-Tawbah 9:119]
The questioner : Meaning, because they do not have a group or an imam to gather them.
The Shaykh : They do not have an imam. Yes. Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. I testify that there is no god but You.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Hold fast to your own affair and cling to the root of the tree until death overtakes you while you are upon that.
