The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
Al-Halabi: Our question concerns *al-Silsilah al-Sahihah*, Part Four, the hadith numbered one hundred and seventeen. You mentioned, Shaykh, the hadith of 'Aishah, the hadith of Bilal, and the hadith of Muhammad ibn 'Urwah as a mursal report. Then you discussed them, and then you said, "In summary, it appears from these routes that the hadith has a solid foundation from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), especially since the hadith of Abu Qatadah corroborates them, in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a funeral and said, Mishkat al-Masabih 1603 They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, who is the one who has found relief, and from whom has relief been granted?' He said, Sahih al-Bukhari 6512 Malik narrated it, and al-Bukhari narrated it from him, as did Muslim, al-Nasa'i, and Ahmad, all of them from Muhammad ibn 'Amr ibn Halhalah from Ma'bad ibn Ka'b ibn Malik from him. This is the point of interest, and it is strong. The Shaykhs, al-Nasa'i, and Ahmad also narrated it from other routes via Ibn Ka'b with the same text, so it is supported by a corroborating chain.
The Shaykh : How is it that... Do we trust your transmission, or do we attribute to it what is not fitting, or do we not trust you to transmit it from what is not fitting?
The questioner : Very simply, it appears that the error is not in Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Halhalah al-Dhuhli; it may be in someone above him. Does it appear that way?
The Shaykh : It may be in him.
The questioner : In the one above him, meaning Ma'bad ibn Ka'b.
The Shaykh : Ibn Ka'b is not him; it is either Abdullah or Abd al-Rahman.
The questioner : I and Shaykh Muhammad investigated that day.
Another questioner: He says what the brother translated...
The Shaykh : If we move past the topic.
The questioner : ... and we are orphans here, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you.

Only he who is forgiven finds rest.
إنما يستريح من غفر لهHe is at rest, or others are at rest from him.
مستريح أو مستراح منهA believer is relieved (by death) from the troubles and hardships of the world and leaves for the Mercy of Allah, while (the death of) a wicked person relieves the people, the land, the trees, (and) the animals from him.
العبد المؤمن يستريح من نصب الدنيا وأذاها إلى رحمة الله والعبد الفاجر يستريح منه العباد والبلاد والشجر والدوابThe Shaykh : How is it that... Do we trust your transmission, or do we attribute to it what is not fitting, or do we not trust you to transmit it from what is not fitting?
