What is the authenticity of the hadith (The merciful are shown mercy by the Most Merciful)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I wish this would be the end of the session. If you would be so kind as to give us the hadith of mercy that is connected by the first link.
The Shaykh : Which hadith?
The questioner : The hadith of mercy connected by the first link.
The Shaykh : May Allah inspire you with the right path. Allahu Akbar for this.The Shaykh : The one who misleads people, do you know what your companion did with this hadith?
The questioner : He weakened it in his introduction.
The Shaykh : Do you know his shaykhs? Look at what they said about it? That it is a valid hadith.
The questioner : He weakened it; it is weak.
The Shaykh : Do you understand? His shaykhs, the Ghumariyyun, authenticated this hadith, other than the early scholars, meaning.
This is a man who is stubborn and sets his goal like a hunter or a soldier, but he wants to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent. He deserves what he deserves; that is another matter. This hadith, as we said, is like the hadith "Where is Allah?" Meaning: the Ummah accepted it with approval. Those who interpret it and those who do not interpret it, all of them consider it a valid hadith. Even the Ghumariyyun, whom he is proud to claim affiliation with, and he says, "Our Shaykh," and he says, "He has ijazas that neither fatten nor satisfy from hunger," because these are purely formal. The important thing is that these people authenticated this hadith in their printed books. So how is he now?
The questioner : By Allah, guide us so that we may be on clear knowledge.
The Shaykh: There is no power nor strength except with Allah.
The questioner : Everyone has a book of ijazah.
The Shaykh : Ali,
Al-Halabi : Please, my professor.
The Shaykh : Where are you, the orator?
The questioner : Alright, we hope that our brother Ali, so that we do not take up time, is fine. For example, we would like to seek blessing by dictation and fill it in that you dictate to us any hadith.
The Shaykh : It is this hadith.
The questioner : The hadith of mercy.
The Shaykh : Do you mean the text or the chain of narration?
The questioner : With the chain of narration, if possible.
The Shaykh : I do not have the formal chains of narration if that is your question about them. As for the hadith, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, as in al-Tirmidhi and others:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1924Hasan (Darussalam) Now, the brother was in 'Umrah, we have here a book by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, the first session of the dictations of Ibn Nasir al-Din al-Dimashqi. This is in tracing this hadith and commenting on it, and collecting its various routes. And then we have here Al-I'ma' bi al-Arba'in al-Mutaba'ina bi Sharat al-Sama' by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani.
The questioner : Is this a new printing?
The Shaykh : It appears to be new, but tonight our brother who was in 'Umrah brought it from those lands. Do you see? Here al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar also strengthens this hadith. So, people, a young man in knowledge, young in character, young regarding his shaykhs.
The questioner : Young in character, what do you mean?
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar! People, fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Sectarianism is the sectarianism of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. Patience has limits. A man, as you see, says to you: "The Mujassim said." Where did he get this? We say: "The Mujassim said such and such." His religion is by his words. Meanwhile, in this introduction, some of our brothers differ, saying that the introduction to the summary of the elevation is sufficient to clarify the truth for people in this issue. He says about me: "I am a Mujassim." Allahu Akbar! Therefore, I tell you...
The questioner : Is it permissible to say: "Al-Kawthari's shoe is above our heads"?
The Shaykh : No, he is not tired.The Shaykh : He is young. The tired one is you. Is this speech permissible? Who said this speech? This is very, very much, because this is more than the Sufis. At that moment, you cleared the man of Sufism. This is the extreme of departing from the humility of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Do you know the Messenger used to say to his Companions: Do you know this Sunnah? Why do you not speak? Do you know or not?
The questioner : By Allah, I do not know. Do not treat me as an opponent.
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you.
The questioner : By Allah, it did not pass by us.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. He took it as a description. He is describing you rightly as a boxer, meaning: a witness from among them testified.
This speech is not permissible to be said. The Muslim is noble[Al-Munafiqun 63:8] We see often that a Muslim submits to a Shaykh and does this for him, meaning: he kisses his hand. And therefore, we say that this shaykhood requires that when he enters the gathering, they stand for him. If the student meets him, instead of greeting him, meaning shaking his hand, he kisses his hand. If he sits, he sits in the front of the gathering. These are not the morals of scholars. And therefore, understand well that seeking knowledge is not to take the front of gatherings. The Messenger promised the one who seeks knowledge to take the front of gatherings that he is in the Fire. And therefore, there is a wisdom that is narrated, we do not care about its authenticity.
The questioner : We care about the meaning.
The Shaykh : The meaning, well done. That 'Isa (peace be upon him) once admonished his disciples and taught them and reminded them, and said to them that after him would come false prophets, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) would come as the seal of the prophets. They said to him: "O 'Isa, how do we know the truthful from the liar?" He said: "You will know them by their fruits."
The questioner : And this, O Sheikh, is what you concluded with, which is what you want to know from the fruits of showing affection and purity when you gather with him.
The Shaykh : In any case, until another meeting, and the hadith has many threads.
The questioner : By Allah, today is full of threads, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : As for threads, they are...
The questioner : Threads that dispel sorrows.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : Acceptable, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace. Welcome, O 'Abd al-Rahman. You remind me of my eldest son. My eldest son in Syria is 'Abd al-Rahman, so I am Abu 'Abd al-Rahman.
The Shaykh : Which hadith?
The questioner : The hadith of mercy connected by the first link.
The Shaykh : May Allah inspire you with the right path. Allahu Akbar for this.The Shaykh : The one who misleads people, do you know what your companion did with this hadith?

The merciful are shown mercy by Ar-Rahman. Be merciful on the earth, and you will be shown mercy from Who is above the heavens.
الراحمون يرحمهم الرحمن ، ارحموا من في الأرض يرحمكم من في السماءThe questioner : Is this a new printing?
The Shaykh : It appears to be new, but tonight our brother who was in 'Umrah brought it from those lands. Do you see? Here al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar also strengthens this hadith. So, people, a young man in knowledge, young in character, young regarding his shaykhs.

Move forward in front of me.
تقدموا بين يديThe questioner : By Allah, I do not know. Do not treat me as an opponent.
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you.
The questioner : By Allah, it did not pass by us.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. He took it as a description. He is describing you rightly as a boxer, meaning: a witness from among them testified.
This speech is not permissible to be said. The Muslim is noble
And to Allah belongs [all] honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.
وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَThe questioner : We care about the meaning.
The Shaykh : The meaning, well done. That 'Isa (peace be upon him) once admonished his disciples and taught them and reminded them, and said to them that after him would come false prophets, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) would come as the seal of the prophets.
