A question about one of the recitations.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Everything is in al-Bukhari, but it includes some anomalous recitations, such as "the male and the female," "the night when it covers," "the day when it reveals," and "the male and the female." He rejected this recitation and said, "This is an anomalous recitation."
The Shaykh : Who is he?
The questioner : Al-Ghazali.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. I told you not to answer with the biography of al-Ghazali. What is your question?
The questioner : He asked, "Is this recitation considered Qur'an or is it anomalous?"
The Shaykh : It is Qur'an, of course.
The questioner : We recite it just as we recite the Qur'an.
The Shaykh : Is the narration authentic or not?
The questioner : It is valid.
The Shaykh : That is enough. The issue of mass transmission and non-mass transmission is a foreign philosophy in Islam. Your companion was misguided by it, the one I advised you not to mention by name, because in Islam there is no such thing as mass-transmitted and non-mass-transmitted. It is authentic that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said so, it is authentic that he did so, it is authentic that he recited so. As for the head and the eye, if it is not authentic, we are in no need of it. And your statement that you believe in everything in Sahih al-Bukhari is emotional, not scholarly, talk.
The questioner : I know that there are hadiths in it, meaning, suspended ones, that were weakened by the imams.
The Shaykh : If you know...
The questioner : These are exceptions.
The Shaykh : It is not enough for you to express what is in your mind with a phrase that falls short of what is in your mind, because there are people, and I am the first of them, who do not read the palm, but as that poet said, even if not in the appropriate context:
"Indeed, speech is in the heart, and only the tongue is made a sign of the heart," so your tongue is what expresses it, even legally, a child is not held accountable until he expresses his faith with his tongue. So now, you have excluded the suspended hadiths, that is not how you should say it.
The questioner : The hadiths weakened by the scholars.
The Shaykh : This is another patch, better than the first one.
The questioner : Why are there weak musnads in al-Bukhari?
The Shaykh : Or, by Allah, no matter how much you rub your eyes...
The questioner : By Allah, this is the first time I have heard this talk. As for what I know, the suspended hadiths are weak, or some of the suspended hadiths.
The Shaykh : "You are not the first traveler deceived by the moon." All people today, in their lessons and their passionate sermons, treat everything in Sahih al-Bukhari as authentic, as if it were Qur'an revealed from the sky. It is not so. Sahih al-Bukhari is like, if you heard in the last times about Sahih al-Albani, you heard in it what you did not hear...
The questioner : Yes, I heard...
The Shaykh : Does it mean that everything in Sahih al-Albani is like the revelation of the sky? It is possible, it is possible. But what does a person do? Especially since al-Albani met al-Bukhari, do you have news or not? ... The foreignness gathered them.
The questioner : Al-Albani and al-Bukhari.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : It is established, O Shaykh, that you are not al-Albani in the first place, is that not so?
The Shaykh : Of course.
The Shaykh : Who is he?
The questioner : Al-Ghazali.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. I told you not to answer with the biography of al-Ghazali. What is your question?
