Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith: Is it "a man from a group" or "a man over a group"?
The Shaykh : Upon.
The questioner : Regarding, is there a narration from whom?
The Shaykh : I do not recall. However, the hadith does not have a sound chain, but we found more than one route for it, so we considered it good only.
The questioner : Whoever appoints a person to a job, and among his subordinates there is someone more deserving than him, has betrayed Allah, His Messenger, and the believers.
The Shaykh : It is possible that this is what you referred to earlier.
The questioner : Is it a condition that he knows, or does he not know? How can he know? This is the one who was appointed.
The Shaykh : It is obligatory for a person to know who is qualified for this job or not qualified. How?
The questioner : It relates to...
The Shaykh : Of course, now when... Zayd is in a position, for example, a civil or medical position, how does he know this? Through association and dealing, so there is no problem in that.
The questioner : ... A man comes, for example, who is qualified for this position, but another comes with him with a small card, and they appoint this one and leave this one.
The Shaykh : Yes, and they do so as well.
