He spoke about al-Ghazali and al-Sabuni.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And before these, there is the one whose establishment and teaching among you you have been afflicted with, and that is al-Ghazali. Al-Ghazali, yes.
The questioner : And al-Sabuni.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And al-Sabuni.
The Shaykh : But al-Ghazali is different.
Another questioner : Explicit in refutation.
The Shaykh : Al-Ghazali is different. Al-Sabuni now authenticates hadiths in Ibn Kathir’s *Mukhtasar* (Summary) that Ibn Kathir did not authenticate. But due to his ignorance of Ibn Kathir’s method in presenting hadiths and his ignorance of the science of hadith, he thinks that Ibn Kathir’s omission of chains for some of the hadiths he mentioned, especially those preceded by a chain from *al-Musnad* or others... The scholars of hadith say that if an author narrates a hadith from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with its chain from him to the Messenger, or with a chain he took from some of the authors to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he bears no responsibility; he is free of blame. But this method, meaning, O reader, look, I only presented the chain for you to look at, not because I believe this is a correct chain, but I dispensed with it and said, as is usually the case, "its chain is authentic," "its chain is good," and so on. So al-Sabuni authenticates hadiths that, if al-Ghazali were asked about them, he would deny them most strongly. Al-Ghazali’s method is a rational, airy method; that is the problem. Yes. Please.
Another questioner : As for the brother, who is presenting to us what you have graciously provided, he starts with the right.
The Shaykh : O Allah, make us among the people of the right, and among those who begin with the right.
Another questioner : Amen. May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : No, this "Amen" is before its time. The second "Amen" is before its time as far as you are concerned. Look at your attention. Look at your attention.
The questioner : If it became clear to him.
The Shaykh : From your mouth, it is sweeter.
Another questioner : I had an experience with.The Shaykh : .
The Shaykh : No, that is not what I intended. When I said, "O Allah, make us among the people of the right," I preceded it by saying "and among those who begin with the right." So you said "Amen" to both. Your "Amen" to the first part is in its proper place, but the part after is premature because you did not clarify the Sunnah that we begin with the right; you did not clarify the Sunnah yet.
Another questioner : But I took it to mean the other thing.
The Shaykh : The other is the first; it was mentioned before.
The questioner : And al-Sabuni.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And al-Sabuni.
