The questioner : Now, our Shaykh, regarding the hadith: This hadith has a narration: “I heard 'Umar ibn al-Khattab on the minbar”; the word “on the minbar” is present in the narration of Ibn Waqqas, 'Alqamah ibn Waqqas, who is the narrator of the hadith. Does 'Alqamah ibn Waqqas have a narration of the hadith: “I heard 'Umar ibn al-Khattab saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the minbar saying: .
The Shaykh : The truth is that this narration certainly exists, but I do not recall that its chain of narration is authentic, unlike the hadith itself, which is authentic without doubt or hesitation. It is sufficient for its authenticity that it was narrated byThe Shaykh : him, and that al-Bukhari began his book, Sahih, with this hadith. As for this addition, it actually requires a specific study. In reality, my methodology in tracing hadiths to their sources operates in two circumstances. The first circumstance is when I feel the need to research an addition or a specific hadith, and I search for it and write the conclusion, either in al-Silsilah al-Sahihah or al-Silsilah al-Da'ifah. The other thing is that I may be asked about it, and answering it yields an important scholarly benefit. In that case, I proceed to search so that I can answer after research and independent legal reasoning. This is the first time such a question has been put to me, and I hope to be successful in researching this phrase, if Allah wills.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. We have, in a sense, wasted your time, but we were delighted, and I am at my happiest in my life when I meet scholars of hadith specifically, because it is reported that these people will be behind the prophets on the Day of Resurrection.
The Shaykh : This is according to the narrator’s claim.
The questioner : Because they are the heirs of the prophets.
The Shaykh : “Heirs of the prophets” is correct, so we ask Allah to make us and you among these people.
The questioner : As for other scholars, they will enter into the midst of the people, if they are... the rest of the people.
The Shaykh : We ask Allah to make us among the scholars and the people of hadith, the heirs of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
