The Shaykh : I do not want to lose what we had concluded with the doctor here regarding the interpretation of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): So I hope that we are all among those who repair what people have corrupted of his Sunnah after him; do you have anything, my brothers?
The questioner : I ask you to comment on this last additionJami` at-Tirmidhi 2630Da'if (Darussalam) Is it authentic?
The Shaykh : It is established, yes. It is not necessary for it to be classified as authentic in the technical scientific sense.
The questioner : Is it from the narration of Kathir ibn 'Abd Allah?
The Shaykh : It is only, may Allah forgive you, no. Kathir's narrations are very weak, yes.
Indeed, Islam began as something foreign and will return as something foreign, so blessed are the foreigners. They said: Who are they, O Messenger of Allah? He said: They are those who repair what people have corrupted of my Sunnah after me.
