Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is a hadith mentioned in itThe Shaykh : by 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz in the book of faith; you authenticated it as a hadith
The Shaykh : The book of faith?
The questioner : Yes, by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I do not actually recall the text of it. If it were there, you authenticated it and said its chain is authentic, and he saidThe Shaykh : its text contains a contradiction with the principles, like that.
The Shaykh : Good.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Look, in the book of faith you have from the Islamic Office, no, no, that is the library index. Do you not remember any part of the hadith, even a fragment?
The questioner : A hadith about jihad, encouraging jihad, that there is no hijrah, or that hijrah is of two types, or something like that, in the book of faith. By Allah, my Shaykh, I am only now recalling it. Did you write on it, yes, or was it “Whoever believes in Allah, let him emigrate,” or something like that?
The Shaykh : Is its topic about hijrah?
The questioner : About hijrah, yes, and jihad, in the book of faith, in the introduction, meaning, as I believe, it is in the introduction.
The Shaykh : No, no, it is not with Ibn Taymiyyah.
The questioner : The editionThe Shaykh
The Shaykh : that has the annotations on it. Do you think it is easy for you to obtain it, or?
The questioner : No, no, it is in the introduction.
The Shaykh : In the introduction?
The questioner : I can
The Shaykh : Take this introduction, at least you will be up to date. Please.
Another questioner : The hadith narrated by Hammad ibn Zayd from Ayyub from Abu Qilabah from a man from the people of Sham from his father from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said to him: Yes, this is a hadith that was narrated byThe Shaykh : Oh, Shaykh
The Shaykh : Well, what is its defect?
The questioner : Yes, and there is another hadith. I say that there is confusion between the two hadiths. In the hadith of 'Abd Allah ibn 'Ubayd ibn 'Umar, also from his father from his grandfather, it was said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): You said here that Ahmad narrated it in this complete form from Fudayl with an authentic chain.
The Shaykh : Could this be it?
The questioner: Yes, that is it.
The Shaykh : Please allow me the book.
The questioner : Because the copy I have has annotations in your name stating only that its chain is authentic. Only “its chain is authentic” is present in the modern copy; it does not mention that Imam Ahmad narrated it.
The Shaykh : Ah, meaning in your copy, I said its chain is authentic.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : As for him, Ahmad narrated it in this complete form from Fudayl with an authentic chain.
The questioner : This is the hadith, my Shaykh. Perhaps you will reconsider, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : This is, of course, narrated by Ahmad regarding the mujahid who strives against himself for Allah.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It was narrated by Ahmad, relating to the hadith which is on page four, where he saidThe Shaykh : (may Allah have mercy on him): “And for this reason, we mention these four ranks. We say: The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hands the Muslims are safe, and the believer is the one in whose blood and wealth the people are safe, or in whom they are safe, and the emigrant is the one who emigrates from evil deeds, and the mujahid is the one who strives against himself for Allah.” Here, number one, Ahmad narrated it in this complete form from Fudayl with an authentic chain, unlike the hadith you read. The hadith you read came after this, and it is in the hadith of 'Abd Allah ibn 'Ubayd ibn 'Umar, also from his father from his grandfather, that it was said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): to the end of the hadith you read. Here, I wrote as a comment on “from his grandfather” that it means 'Umar, who is the son of Qatadah al-Laythi, and I did not find the hadith in his Musnad.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And it will come in the book on page 155 that it is sometimes narrated from 'Ubayd ibn 'Umar as mursal, and sometimes from him from 'Amr ibn 'Ubaydah as musnad. So perhaps his statement here “from his grandfather” is an error by some of the copyists, or it is another aspect of the narration that the author did not address there. This is supported by the fact that al-Tabarani narrated part of this hadith from 'Umar ibn Qatadah, as in al-Majma' 1/58, and its chain is weak.
The questioner : Glory be to Allah, this text is not printed.
The Shaykh : It is not printed!!
The questioner : No, it is not printed.
The Shaykh : Strange, look at what is written here.
The questioner : It appears...
The Shaykh : But this copy, Professor, is the first edition.
The questioner : No, this could be the last edition.
The Shaykh : This has become an error.
The questioner : An error, yes. May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : This points out, yes, because I mentioned to the Shaykh that he authenticated it.The Shaykh : Nasser, so the rule is that he is not infallible. Glory be to Allah, the truth has now become clear, just as our Shaykhs say. So you are our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The book of faith?

Who submits, he is safe. He said: What is Islam? He said: That you submit your heart to Allah, and that the Muslims are safe from your tongue and your hand. He said: Which of Islam is best? He said: Faith. He said: What is faith? He said: That you believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and in the resurrection after death. He said: Which of faith is best? He said: Hijrah. He said: What is hijrah? He said: That you abandon evil. He said: Which of hijrah is best? He said: Jihad. He said: What is jihad? He said: You strive or
أسلم تسلم قال: و ما الإسلام ؟ قال: أن تسلم قلبك لله و أن يسلم المسلمون من لسانك و يدك قال: فأي الإسلام أفضل ؟ قال: الإيمان قال: و ما الإيمان ؟ قال: أن تؤمن بالله و ملائكته و كتبه و رسله و بالبعث بعد الموت قال: فأي الإيمان أفضل قال: الهجرة قال: و ما الهجرة ؟ قال: أن تهجر السوء قال: فأي الهجرة أفضل ؟ قال: الجهاد قال: و ما الجهاد ؟ قال: تجاهد أوThe Shaykh : Well, what is its defect?
The questioner : Yes, and there is another hadith. I say that there is confusion between the two hadiths. In the hadith of 'Abd Allah ibn 'Ubayd ibn 'Umar, also from his father from his grandfather, it was said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family):
What is Islam? He said: Feeding food and softening speech. It was said: What is faith? He said: Generosity and patience. It was said: Who is the best of the Muslims in Islam? He said: The one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe. It was said: Who is the best of the believers in faith? He said: The one with the best character. It was said: What is the best hijrah? He said: The one who abandons what Allah has forbidden him. He said: Which prayer is best? He said: Lengthening the qunut. He said: Which charity is best? He said: The effort of the one with little. He said: Which jihad is best? He said: That you strive with your wealth and your soul, so your horse is killed and your blood is shed. He said: Which hours are best? He said: The middle of the night.
ما الإسلام؟ قال: إطعام الطعام و لين الكلام قيل: فما الإيمان ؟ قال: السماحة و الصبر قيل: فمن أفضل المسلمين إسلاما ؟ قال: من سلم المسلمون من لسانه و يده قيل: فمن أفضل المؤنين إيمانا ؟ قال: أحسنهم خلقا قيل ما أفضل الهجرة ؟ قال: من هجر ما حرم الله عليه قال: أي الصلاة أفضل ؟ قال: طول القنوت قال: أي الصدقة أفضل ؟ قال: جهد المقل قال: أي الجهاد أفضل ؟ قال: أن تجاهد بمالك نفسك فيعقر جوادك و يراق دمك قال: أي الساعات أفضل ؟ قال: جوف الليل الغابرThe Shaykh : Could this be it?
