The Shaykh’s rebuke of a man who forgot the question and sent blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as if he were trying to recall it through that.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our esteemed Shaykh, “O Allah, send blessings upon the Messenger of Allah.”
The Shaykh:[Al-Kahf 18:24]
The questioner : There is no god but Allah.
The Shaykh : Because sending blessings upon the Messenger (peace be upon him) to recall what the forgetful person forgot is based on a weak hadith that is not authentic, whereas the Qur’anic verse is explicit:[Al-Kahf 18:24].
The questioner : You are right, but a person is sometimes accustomed to certain things, so we ask Allah for good...
The Shaykh : And I say you are right; but what you, I, and he should do is return to the verse.
The questioner : If Allah wills, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
And remember your Lord when you forget
واذكر ربك إذا نسيتThe questioner : There is no god but Allah.
The Shaykh : Because sending blessings upon the Messenger (peace be upon him) to recall what the forgetful person forgot is based on a weak hadith that is not authentic, whereas the Qur’anic verse is explicit:
