The questioner : Another question, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : It is that some people say that the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) rebuke of the preacher when he delivered a sermon in his presence and he said to him said Sahih Muslim 870 when he said “and whoever disobeys them,” they say that the rebuke was because he was concise, whereas the original principle for a sermon is to be elaborate, as evidenced by the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) compiled it in authentic hadiths, such as his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) Sahih al-Bukhari 16 So what is the answer to this?
The Shaykh : The answer is that it rebounds upon itself: if the Messenger was concise, just as that preacher who the Messenger rebuked was?
The questioner : So he says, yes.
The Shaykh : So he is also rebuking the Messenger! Do you understand me? It is clear.
The questioner : Yes, but my intention is: why did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) use it? Is it because he is a scholar, unlike that one, and he fears for him, for example?
The Shaykh : To block the means to harm, likeSunan ad-Darimi 19:69.
Al-Halabi : O Shaykh, you spoke about the issue in *The Sermon of Need* with good words in *The Sermon of Need*.
The Shaykh : This is fire; they say the Salafis do not know politics; this is politics.
Ali Hasan: Ah, O Shaykh, you spoke well in *The Sermon of Need* about the topic, and you mentioned the detail you mentioned now, which is that the Messenger is the one who brought tawhid (the oneness of Allah), so his side is trusted in this matter, unlike others, to block the means to harm.
The Shaykh : The chaos has started now, so bow down, bow down.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
