The questioner : We ask a few more questions, please.
The Shaykh : Or what? Now, if the winds blow, seize them. Now, Abu Yahya, we don't know what he is trying to infer. Now.
The questioner : The biography that says, meaning, that the Ummah does not agree upon, or that there is no scholarly consensus (ijma') upon, which is what people mean by consensus. We translate it for us as what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions did not do.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : There are some hadiths that sometimes use the term "the black majority of the Ummah." Is it intended to mean the black majority in the general sense?
The Shaykh : Any hadith that says, for example, "Hold fast to the black majority," that is a black majority with no value. The term "the black majority" has no value.
The questioner : Glory be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Yes, but the correct one is
The questioner : The entire Ummah?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
The questioner : And my Ummah also contains, meaning, those who are upon the methodology of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and not.
The Shaykh : Now, Abu Yahya spoke, but I wish he had not spoken. You would have been the one who inspired him.
