Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith of *sitar* or *sitar*, with the sin opened (fathah) or with the sin broken (kasrah).
The Shaykh : And may Allah reward you with good. I have not spoken; I do not know, whether with you or with anyone else. It is necessary that we review it, and it has not escaped my memory. We will review it, so perhaps we will review it, if Allah wills.
The questioner : In al-Bukhari, from Musa (peace be upon him), it was *hayi sitar*, with the sin broken. Ibn Hajar says the most correct form in the language is the *fa'il* form, on the pattern of *rahim*. He said, and it is permissible for us to say *sitar* on the pattern of *fa'il*.The Shaykh : This means there are two statements and two views in the issue. I do not have a review in reality; that is, in my mind and in my wording, it is *sitar*. So the fact that this brother here, Abu Hamzah, transmitted it indicates that this has a basis.
The questioner : Do you have a comment, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, I have no comment until it is established that the opposite is the case, because in Sahih Muslim...
The questioner : In the week that passed, on Friday in the lesson, al-Barqawi was giving this lesson, which they are accustomed to. During the discussion, they touched upon the pre-Friday sunnah prayer. So he brought a statement from Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, and then at the end of his speech, he said it is from the perspective of recommendation, meaning that the one who wants it, it is a recommended sunnah. So this brother transmitted this statement to us in this place, I and my brothers, the students of knowledge. They said, what do you think? Now we ask him by phone. Indeed, we called him by phone. In the same manner of his speech in the mosque, as if he heard this from our companion. One of the young men said to Shaykh al-Barqawi, "O Shaykh, good, and these people say the evidence is this." He said, "You heard the word that they are Zindiqs (heretics)." First, and second, on my hearing by phone, after he transmitted this from some pages from Ibn Taymiyyah, he read them from the book, which is Shaykh al-Barqawi. He said to him, "I read it and I did not find this statement." He said to him, "I will tell you, these are liars. I read it myself and I did not find it." He went and brought the book from the library, of course, by phone, all of this. And he insisted on the statement being present. And at the end of the matter, this man said to them, "These are misguided and misguiders, and their Shaykhs, until he reached the point of saying that these are Hashashin (Assassins)." Subhan Allah, this man behaves this way.
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to guide him, but the truth is...
The questioner : Yes, O Shaykh
The Shaykh : And may Allah reward you with good. I have not spoken; I do not know, whether with you or with anyone else. It is necessary that we review it, and it has not escaped my memory. We will review it, so perhaps we will review it, if Allah wills.
