Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : In the hadith, meaning, a linguistic issue that perhaps resolves the difficulty?
The Shaykh : Please proceed.
The questioner :
Hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and hold fast to it with strength عليكم بسنتي و سنة خلفاء الراشدين المهدين عضوا عليها
Shaykh, here the singular pronoun "he" indicates that it is a recommended practice, not that he said, "both of them."
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Meaning, the Rightly Guided Caliphs act according to the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so it is one Sunnah!
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : No, it does not mean, as we said, that one of the Caliphs, but rather the Caliphs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and hold fast to it with strength عليكم بسنتي و سنة الخلفاء الراشدين المهدين عضوا عليها
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 17:1232
He did not say "hold fast to them." The Caliphs act according to the Sunnah of the Prophet, so it is one Sunnah. What do you think of this!
The Shaykh : This is good speech.
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : We said that it does not mean the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs.
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : Contradiction, and rather I said perhaps you remember the one that indicates
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : on the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace be upon him).
The questioner : It seems clear, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Clear, yes.
The questioner :
and follows other than the way of the believers و من يتبع غير سبيل المؤمنين
[An-Nisa 4:115]
.
The Shaykh : Ah, this is it. May Allah forgive us, O Professor.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. May Allah preserve you.
